I am running ubuntu 20.04 on lenovo yoga slim7 laptop which is loaded with nvidia 350M graphics card.
I add ppa and apt installed nvidia-470 driver which is the latest one however GPU does not seem to be utilized for desktop GUI rendering as I feel delays in any screen input even for terminal.


Here is what the settings > About page look like.


enter image description here


I checked lspci to find VGA controller but could not find nvidia here.


$ lspci | grep VGA  
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)

and only find


$ lspci | egrep -i "vga|display|3d"  
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)
30:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce MX350] (rev a1)

Additional info


$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3a34
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915

Subsystem: Lenovo GP107M [GeForce MX350]
Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Is there a way to enable GPU for VGA controller?

Problem is caused by PSR in ubuntu.
To disable PSR, open /etc/default/grub with editor
and add below line


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.enable_psr=0"

If there is GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, add # in front of the line.


Save and exit.


Enter "$ sudo update-grub" and "reboot"


To check if PSR is enabled by entering


$ sudo cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_psr

should return “0” zero.


Formerly, it gave me “-1”.
