Public bug reported:
I previously used Ubuntu 16.04 and Nvidia 375 driver with a Nvidia
Geforce 635M and Sandy Bridge i7. To switch between the 2 Optimus cards
(Intel hybrid and Nvidia discrete), one had to go into nvidia-settings,
switch, logoff, login back, and the change was applied.
I now have a Nvidia Quadro M2000 and a Skylake Xeon which has some
Sync/Mux feature (whatever does that mean) with the Nvidia 390 driver.
First of all, installing nivida-prime doesn't install bbswitch-dkms.
Then, once the GPU switch is made, it triggers update-initramfs,
recompile the kernel modules, and one needs to reboot the system to get
the GPU change. Even when we install bbswitch-dkms.
So am I getting a wrong impression or is there something twisted here ?
