Description Jérôme Hénin 2018-07-12 10:56:57 CEST 
Description of problem:
On an Optimus laptop (ASUS) with an MX150 discrete GPU, upgrading to 4.14.50 broke the GPU (whether I'm using Bumblebee or mageia-prime). I'm using the "pcie_port_pm=off" boot option for all kernel versions.

Trying to run anything with bumblebee gives:
> $ primusrun glxspheres64 
> primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: Could not load GPU driver

And dmesg gives:
> [   50.081664] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 244
> [   50.475307] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)

FYI, there is now kernel 4.14.55-desktop in updates testing, i am running it OK now on a Nvidia-only system.

Comment 2 Jérôme Hénin 2018-07-13 10:10:46 CEST 
Thanks for the hint Morgan. I've just tried 4.14.55, it has the same problem as 4.14.50 on my setup.
Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2018-07-18 00:48:49 CEST 
There is now a 4.14.56 in testing:

And a new nvidia-current:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23316

Does any of them solve the issue for you ?
