Hi, Did a fresh installation of fedora 25 on my new laptop, which has a nvidia geforce gtx960m. My plan was to use opensource drivers only, and make use of PRIME afterwards, to save battery life.
I had to enable nomodeset during the installation, otherwise the system would freeze. After the installation i removed the nomodesetoption, which causes the system to freeze after logging in to gnome. When i set nouveau.modeset=0 in grub, i was able to login and work with the system. But then switcheroo-control service wouldn't work, and my battery life is really bad. I thought maybe it could be related to the power management options in the nouveau driver, booting with the nouveau.runpm=0, enables me to login, and switcheroo-control service works. However battery life is not that great, there is still a huge battery drain on my system. Do more people have this problem and is it this a nouveau problem? Thanks.
