[SOLVED] Intel video card problem after upgrade from MGA6

Hi all,
yesterday i upgrade my laptop from Mageia 6 to Mageia 7.1 but i have a problem with Intel video driver:
i have an hybrid graphics so i have an Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (8086:0416) and an Nvidia card. After upgrade i tryed also to remove xorg.conf file and launch XFdrake to renew, but after boot i receive always the same warning message if i try to use Intel driver:
[Problem with video driver]
A kernel module, display driver, has been detected that conflicts with the driver that the X server is configured to use. Starting the X server may therefore fail (italian original message in attach image)

if i use nouveau driver i haven't this message but cinnamon crash, i tryed also to use mageia-prime to switch completely to Nvidia card from boot but server X seems doesn't start, i see only boot message without graphic window, i also tryed to use bumblebee to start cinnamon session editing /usr/share/xsession/cinnamon.desktop to run a script with
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/primusrun /usr/bin/cinnamon
but doesn't start.

Have you had a look at the Mageia 7 Errata? If none of that helps you, and if you have installed the NVidia proprietaty drivers, you might want to try blacklisting nouveau (add a text file in /etc/modprobe.d with just "blacklist nouveau" and reboot)

Hi ITA84,
blacklist nouveau

already done without success, seems that nouveau driver start however. I'm reading mageia-prime guide and could try to use this option to exclude nouveau:
