I used the packages from ELRepo and they were installed successfully but it did no work from the get go. Modify the config file and I will still boot up with the intel driver. -- Kind Regards Earl Ramirez ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You are correct, that explains why I am seing intel and Nvidia. To the best of my knowledge Nvidia do not currently support Optimus on Linux. Is is possible to disable the Intel onboard graphics? I don't have any first hand experience of these products. Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS to disable intel graphic card. In future I must do more researsh before I make such purchase. You should probably ask on the nvidia linux forums if you require more detailed help, or start by googling nvidia optimus linux and see what comes up.
