Stable way to use integrated graphics with dedicated graphics on Ubuntu 17.04

  • 772

Recently I dug up the Internet on an attempt to use the integrated GPU to display and the dedicated GPU (GeForce 940M) running on nouveau to work together. I've tried both nouveau and nvidia-375 but none worked (believe or not, nouveau gives better FPS). For nouveau I used optirun glxgears but this happened: 

diamond@K401LB:~$ optirun glxgears
[ 3483.103063] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE)     Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 3483.103097] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

For the proprietary driver, I used bumblebee, bumblebee-nvidia and primusrun. However, the system just straight up froze. Also I don't know if it's related or not, but my HDMI port died afterward.

P/S: with nouveau, games like Team Fortress 2 are crashing.

P/P/S: with nouveau, seems like all 3D apps are crashing. Logs for Minecraft: https://pastebin.com/aMQFr2cW (I'm going back to nvidia-375)
