I have an asus g55jm running debian wheezy with gnome. By default the integrated gpu instead of the nvidia gtx860M card for the desktop.running lspci outputs:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Haswell DRAM Controller (rev 06)00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Haswell PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06)00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell HD Audio Controller (rev 06)00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 05)00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point MEI Controller #1 (rev 04)00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05)00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Lynx Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Lynx Point PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d5)00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Lynx Point PCI Express Root Port #2 (rev d5)00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Lynx Point PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d5)00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Lynx Point PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d5)00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05)00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Lynx Point LPC Controller (rev 05)00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 05)00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation Lynx Point SMBus Controller (rev 05)01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1392 (rev a2)04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 08b1 (rev 6b)05:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 12)Clearly both the intel haswell integrated gpu and the nvidia card as well. When I run nvidia-detect I get the following outputNo NVIDIA GPU detected.I installed version 340.65 of the driver provided by nvidia. However the system doesn't use or allow me to set the nvidia card to be used as a primary gpu for the desktop. I haven't tried to newest beta driver yet, but I suspect I will face the exact same problem. Have anyone struggled with the same issue, how were you able to fix this issue? Please let me know if the question is faulty, or you need more information.CheersStgandr
