It is already available (I have that dGPU myself). Newer kernels are recommended (Linux 4.8+), you need either xf86-video-modesetting driver (known working with xorg 1.18) or xf86-video-nouveau (from git). Also note that many laptops with these card suffer from a problem that cause lockups when runpm kicks in. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156341 Kind regards, Peter https://lekensteyn.nl (pardon my brevity, top-posting and formatting, sent from my phone) On 23 January 2017 20:50:34 CET, "Mr.ze" <mr.ze at protonmail.com> wrote:>Hi, >When will Nvidia Geforce 965M nouveau driver be available? >It's just that when I use linux, i have to use intel HD graphics :\ > >Thanks, >Ze. > >H

That commit swiftly got reverted because it lacked prerequisites, and replaced by the temporary fix cae9ff036eea + 15266ae38fe0. These two will be reverted in 4.11 and replaced with the proper solution (which was 3846fd9b8600). Long story short, the issue seems solved, the revert of PCIe port PM is dequeued. Perhaps this also fixes the issues in the bugzilla entry you mentioned above, at least for some laptops? Thanks, Lukas
