NVidia X Server widnow doesn't show me perfomance or any other mode
after couple of months I wanted to play a game of CSGO on my laptop dual booting windows and linux. I haven't been using Win10 ever since I've switched to linux in January and I used to play CSGO on performance mode easily before. But now, maybe due to some driver update I can't see all options in nvidia x server settings like before. Bellow is the look of my nvidia x server window. Thanks in advance!
Solution 1:
I found the solution on this forum thread, it worked out for my case.
Steps:
-
Delete
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
-
Make sure nvidia-prime is installed by running
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-prime
-
Use prime-select to switch to nvidia
sudo prime-select nvidia
-
Check for and remove stray blacklist files such as
/lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
and/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
-
Regenerate the initrd
sudo update-initramfs -u
And reboot
