I have a Asus G750JZ with a NVIDIA GTX880M. The card works in some fashion with the nouveau driver.
I have tried to install the NVIDIA driver, the one currently in the repository is not compatible with the 880M. I have tried installing the one from the NVIDIA website (both stable and beta), following the process to black list the nouveau driver, etc. and had no success. An lsmod shows that even blacklisting nouveau doesn't result in the nvidia driver being used. I tried to create a xorg.conf file using the nvidia-xconfig but this results in an error = -61 and being sent back to a runlevel 3.
Using the driver from Nvidia's site does install and show up in lsmod, but nothing is using it and without the xorg.conf file it appears that the module isn't used. Not sure where the error in the nvidia-xconfig generated xorg.conf file is.
Any ideas ?
