Nvidia proprietary driver installed but unable to switch in X Server Setting
I have a Thinkpad T460s which has an Intel HD520 as well as Nvidia 930M graphics card. I want to install the driver for the 930M.
I basically follow this thread:
NVIDIA proprietary drivers - Optimus Technology
I installed the proprietary nvidia-driver-390 and switch to it software & updates
software&updates
But I could not find the PRIME option in Nvidia X Server Settings, and I can still only use the integrated graphics card
X setting
terminal
Still new to Ubuntu and any help is appreciated, thank you!
