[SOLVED] Mageia 6 and graphic card NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M

Postby vincentm77 » Mar 2nd, '18, 16:49

Hi everyone,

I installed Mageia 6 on a Lenovo B5400 laptop and everything ran smoothly untli a few days ago (or weeks, I m not sure).

My graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M

Now, the graphic environment (plasma, LXDE) sometimes freezes...

I tried to install proprietary drivers for the graphic card (found on http://www.geforce.com) but it did not solve the issue, and things are even worse now.... it seems that the install of the proprietary drivers wipe out the "nouveau" driver

So I would like to go back the graphical server that was installed during the install of MAgeia 6 (and which worked great).

Is there a way to have XFdrake automatically select a graphical server ?
Though it proposes some options for GeForce cards, I am not sure which one is the best for me.

Any help appreciated !
Vincent

Finally, I did not find a solution to this issue and reinstalled Mageia 6 (using the DVD, installation without formating /home)...
