I have debian installed with KDE as the desktop environment, the following situation happened after I uninstalled nvidia-driver. There is no xorg.conf file so I run sudo X -configure to regenerate the file for my Intel driver. but I get the following error:

[ 1712.621] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 1712.621] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV118

The version of nouveau X11 driver in your Debian 9.x is too old to support your NVidia dGPU model. You might be able to proceed using the Intel iGPU only, if your hardware configuration allows that (i.e. the iGPU is physically wired to the displays/connectors you need; with multi-GPU Optimus laptops that may not always be true).

In most cases, a complete xorg.conf file is no longer necessary with modern versions of Xorg. You might get away with writing a mini-configuration file like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/intel-only.conf:

Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Option "AutoAddGPU" "false" Screen 0 "IntelScreen" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "IntelDevice" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Driver "intel" # or maybe "modesetting"? EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "IntelScreen" Device "IntelDevice" EndSection

This would restrict the X server to use only the Intel iGPU and ignore the Nvidia dGPU for now, and to auto-detect all the input devices, display resolutions etc.

  • There's an Identifier missing in the first section, however I'm still getting the same error when I run X -configure afterwards. And I thought I needed xorg.conf because font rendering became small and not nice. Commented Mar 8, 2019 at 9:45
  • I updated the question (the log specifically) after putting this conf file in both directories. Commented Mar 8, 2019 at 9:58
