I am using Debian Stretch (9.5) and



sudo lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"


returns:



00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 [8086:1916] (rev 07)
06:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] [10de:134d] (rev ff)


That means I'm using Optimus (hybrid) graphics chipset. By following instructions given here, I have installed bumblebee-nvidia primus:



sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs:i386 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386


During the installation, I got a screen saying I have Nouveau driver currently installed and after reboot it will be set to Nvidia.



After installation completed and restart, I have executed: sudo lshw -class video, and it has returned:

Also running inxi -Gx I have got:

GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2)
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 13.0.6 Direct Rendering: Yes


But when I opened NVDIIA X Server Settings from the application menu, it said:




You do not appear to be using NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X
configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart
the X server.




But here. it is written:




As of stretch, you don't need nvidia-xconfig anymore, and a xorg.conf
file is not needed either in most situations.




Am I missing something or I'm using Nvidia driver?
