Lenovo i9 wont use nVidia GTX 1650ti GPU

Ask Fedora

I recently switched to Fedora from Zorin (debian) / Windows 11. I have a Lenovo Yoga i9 Laptop with an nVidia 1650ti GPU. As it is a laptop with both Intel + nVidia. After install, no games will utilize the GPU, only the Intel. I know this is a good working system as it has had both Windows 11 and Zorin OS within the past 6 months. I am comparing my expectation of performance against that which was seen with Zorin OS installed.

So far I went through the process of updating the drivers following the Howto RPM fusion org guide Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion and can verify that the nvidia drivers are in fact working. Couple quick version / info:

#/sbin/lspci | grep -e VGA returns VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] (rev 05)

#/sbin/lspci | grep -e 3D returns 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile] (rev a1)

#modinfo -F version nvidia returns 530.41.03

This tells me that I in fact do need to configure for Optimus Howto/Optimus - RPM Fusion. It also confirms that all hardware is seen and accessible, and my drivers are updated fully.

I have followed the instructions for NVIDIA PRIME Support, and verified the modprobe.d/nvidia file does exist and is setup as recommended. I also am launching applications with the environment variable:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD = 1

I also attempted to manually launch the applications:

flatpak run --device=dri --env=__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 --env=__VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only --env=__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

Unfortunately, games (World of Warcraft installed via Lutris, and Snowrunner installed via Steam) both use my intel only card. Additionally, NVIDIA X Server Settings (NVIDIA Settings window) does not show any information at all relating to the existence of my GPU, only the two options (Application Profiles and nvidia-settings configuration).

Also note, i recognize I am a Linux Novice. I am not afraid of command line, learning, and trying anything - just while i have used it for 10+ years for work, it’s been VERY limited in how much I needed to interact with it and have very little actual knowledge on usage as a full-time pc.

Thank you in advance.

If you wish and are willing to use xorg instead of wayland you could follow the instructions here and have everything using the nvidia GPU. This is what I do with my laptop.

One also can usually right click on the icon to launch an app and select to run that app using the dedicated GPU.

Thank you - 100% willing to switch to Xorg. I personally see no reason to stick with one over the other (i mean, Wayland is newer ETC) at this time if it works better.

I will give it a try and report back soon.

4

thank you! After several days of working on this, and trying it repeated times, it worked. That finally got my nvidia 1650ti showing up and getting used!

Hi .
Can you please describe what you did to make it work? Basically I have the same situation.

I used to use Ubuntu and everything worked out of the box.
But on fidora I for some reason does not want to run games on my 1650ti although in the system it sees it.

6

See post 2 above, then after completing those steps simply log in using xorg. The nvidia gpu will be used exclusively and games mostly work. I am assuming as well that you may be using steam which does not work well on the wayland DE.

7

Yes, I tried that, but at system startup I am informed that the NVIDIA kernel module is not loaded and the transition to nouveau is complete.

8

Do you have secure boot enabled or disabled?
mokutil --sb-state should show that.
If secureboot is enabled then the nvidia modules must be signed and the signing key imported into bios by following the instructions in the file /usr/share/doc/akmods/README.secureboot.

If the modules still do not load it may also be necessary to reconstruct the modules with the signing key attached using these steps.

  1. sudo dnf remove kmod-nvidia-$(uname -r)
    followed by
  2. sudo akmods --force
    then
  3. reboot
9

Unfortunately, it still can’t find the NVIDIA module before starting the system.

Please post the output of dnf list installed \*nvidia\*, sudo dmesg | grep -iE "secure|nvidia|nouveau", and lsmod | grep -E "nvidia|nouveau" as well as inxi -Fzxx

I see one thing missing from the kernel command line shown in the dmesg output that may be the factor, as well as needing more info.

  1. Additional info needed:
    A. Please show us the output of mokutil --list-enrolled | grep -E Issuer
    Secure boot is enabled but if the key is not properly imported into the bios then the driver cannot be loaded. However no reference is made to that problem in the dmesg output so I am not sure yet of the cause.
    B. Please also show the output of ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
    If the file nvidia.conf appears there then show
    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf

  2. The kernel options seem to be missing one item on the kernel command line.
    On my laptop I have nvidia-drm.modeset=1 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau and you seem to be missing the “nvidia-drm.modeset=1” part of that.
    You can add that in by editing the file /et/default/grub and insert that option into the line that begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX then update grub with sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg so it is inserted for the next and all subsequent boots.

  3. Finally, it is possible the nvidia modules are corrupt and can easily be replaced
    sudo dnf remove kmod-nvidia-* will remove the driver modules.
    sudo akmods --force will replace them.
    Then reboot to see what else is happening.

Oh I really appreciate your help :pray:.

I also added nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to my file.

And deleted and rebuilt the module.
But that didn’t do anything.

This tells us the locally built key is not enrolled into bios so the nvidia modules cannot be loaded because of secure boot.
The above referenced file (/usr/share/doc/akmods/README.secureboot) gives explicit instructions on how to enroll that key into the bios. The commands must be done using sudo and the reboot must be done to properly complete the import into the bios.
Additional info (duplicate) is at rpmfusion

Verify the import is successful with the steps at the end of that file before moving on. Rinse and repeat if the key is not properly enrolled when you next check.

О. Thank you. I’m such a dumbass).

Now everything is displaying as it should.
