I want to install Debian GNU / Linux 8 Jessie on the new MSI GL62 laptop but unfortunately I ran into problems with the drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX950M and Intel HD Graphics 530 cards. I have two graphics cards in my laptop, actually a hybrid card. Here is the output of the lspci command:
I tried installing bumblebee but it resulted in Debian not starting up and ctrl + alt + f1-f7 not working. I don't know if it matters to do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade before installing drivers. I also tried to install the nvidia-driver package but it ended up crashing the X manager and it was showing me gnome that manager X had managed to get the X in order "oh no something has gone wrong". I am using the jessie / stable repositories. I also have jessie-backports repositories added.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file:
Would upgrading debian to testing help install drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M and Intel HD Graphics 530 cards? I tried to mess around in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it didn't work. Anyone have any other ideas on how to install these drivers?
