Hello! I installed the first Windows 11 OS with the second system “Fedora 35”, but more to the point.
After installing the system, of course, I want to install the drivers on my video card, I have such a machine:
Notebook: Lenovo idepad 320-15ikb
CPU: intel pentium gold 4415U
GPU1: intel HD Graphics 610 (integrated)
GPU2: nVidia Geforce MX110
By default, I have an integrated video card enabled, it certainly works well, but I think the discrete one will be clearly smoother, and I thought to play with various more demanding programs
I would like it to be possible to switch video cards, turn off the discrete one at a certain moment to save energy and turn on the integrated one, but if this is not possible, then I die.
I found instructions for installing drivers on YouTube, and I got down to business.
- Check for system updates, if any, install and reboot
- After rebooting, check the system update, if any, update and reboot.
- Enter the command “sudo dnf -y install akmod-nvidia” into the console
- Agree if there are questions somewhere and wait for the installation
- Reboot, and you’re done.
- Select Wayland on the lock screen
I followed this instruction and in the settings the video card really showed up, I thought hurray and the drivers are worth it, but after entering the command “$ glxinfo | egrep” OpenGL vendor "I got the following answer;
"OpenGL renderer
OpenGL vendor string: Intel
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel (R) HD Graphics 610 (KBL GT1) "
I think this indicates that my system does not use a discrete graphics card, what did I do wrong? Below I will leave more commands that I entered and what answer I received, perhaps this will be useful.
DRI_PRIME = 1 nvidia-settings
- ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system

Please, I need your help! Thank you in advance!
I tried to write everything as clear, concise and understandable as possible, this is my first post on this please if I did something wrong, I apologize, I installed Linux Fedora 35 workstation not so long ago, so I’m a beginner …
