I am using antix linux on on Macbook with (Intel/ Nvidia GT 650M Optimus) actually I found that currently I still cannot get the correct why to install nvidia-driver (maybe I need an old version)
I am trying to install nvidia-driver through Nvidia driver installer on antix Control Centre from the screenshot:
/usr/bin/ddm-mx -i nvidiaThen I can only install nvidia-legacy-390 while after the installation, I found even the nvidia-smi is not found, installed, then the installation seems not complete.
1. Nvidia-card is active:
I walked through this post to enable the nvidia connect on macbook:
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/couldnt-detect-external-monitor-in-ubuntu-18-04-5-with-nvidia-driver-455-38/159919
So I am sure that the Nividia graphic card is active now: (according to this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/68028/how-do-i-check-if-ubuntu-is-using-my-nvidia-graphics-card)lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] [10de:0fd5] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])2. ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa met 404 error
However, I walked through some posts on the website but on adding **ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa** as ppa I met 404 error. Is this link archived?

Just so you know, PPA, which are Personal Package Archives, are Ubuntu-specific archives. They are not even the standard package archives for Ubuntu and they definitely are not recommended here.
You are free to use them if you wish but unless another forum participant knows what you are doing and chooses to respond, that is the only way you are going to get an answer here.
You’re certainly welcome to do whatever you want with your system but this is not something we support.

PPAs are not supported on antiX, like Brian Masinick already mentioned and it’s not needed.
I found even the nvidia-smi is not found, installed
Is nvidia-legacy-390xx-smi installed on your system?
Please post

To run an application using the nVidia card, you have to use in terminal eg.

or alternately
optirun firefoxI see. thanks!

I’m under the impression the problems you have are due to the fact that this is mac hardware.To be honest i probably can’t help you much here and also a web search doesn’t bring up anything really useful.
If you post the /var/log/ddm.log we can look after all if the nvidia driver installation was successful and no errors showed up.
Also you can go to synaptic and search for nvidia-legacy-390 and look if everything is installed.Graphics: Device-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics vendor: Apple driver: N/A
It’s not clear to me why even the intel driver is not shown here correctly.
EDIT: You can also post the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log- This reply was modified 11 months, 1 week ago by caprea.
I found the solution if you have a Intel/ Nvidia Optimus graphics card.
0. (Optional) Firstly we need to make sure that on Macbook Nvidia graphic card is connected to PCI Express Bridge.
Follow the instructions described in this post:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/264247/proprietary-nvidia-drivers-with-efi-on-mac-to-prevent-overheating
or this one:
https://daanberg.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/proprietary_nvidia_drivers_with_efi_on_mac_to_prevent_overheating_-_ask_ubuntu.pdf1. (Optional) Then install nvidia-detect to detect the correct driver version:
$ nvidia-detect Detected NVIDIA GPUs: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] [10de:0fd5] (rev a1) Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] (rev a1) Your card is only supported up to the 390 legacy drivers series. Your card is also supported by the Tesla 418 drivers series. It is recommended to install the nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver package.2. Install the correct version of the nvidia driver through Application Centre or package manager.
3. Install libnvidia-legacy-390xx-cfg1, nvidia-settings-legacy-390xx, nvidia-legacy-390xx-smi,
nvidia-xconfig
4. Set up PRIME with instruction from this post: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/455.45.01/README/randr14.html
or this post https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/couldnt-detect-external-monitor-in-ubuntu-18-04-5-with-nvidia-driver-455-38/159919
5. Verify that the nvidia driver is working with nvidia-settingsAttachments:
