It indicates the PCI bus id that the Intel graphics connects to.įor example, on my computer, lspci outputs 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 3e92, thus the bus id is 0:2:0. We can force Xorg to use Intel graphics by creating a configuration file with the following contents and save it to /etc/X11/nf. The installed NVIDIA driver and configurations will hint Xorg to start with NVIDIA devices.ĭepending on whether NVIDIA related display libraries are well installed, the X server would failed to start or success to start but still use NVIDIA devices, both of which are unwanted.
