How to use nvidia geforce 920mx in ubuntu 17.10
I have try to run software update in my laptop (ASUS x4441U) and install additional drivers. Ubuntu detect that there is a proprietary driver for nvidia. I install the driver and restart.
However, when I click on Setting | Details, I got this information:
Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2)
I expect the graphics driver to be nvidia, not builtin intel.
Also, I try to run this command:
gofrendi@asgard:~$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 (rev 07)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. HD Graphics 520
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915
--
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 920MX] (rev a2)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GM108M [GeForce 920MX]
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_384_drm, nvidia_384
It seems the kernel driver in use is nouveau. I expect it to be nvidia_384.
How can I change that one? Or do I have some sort of miss-understanding here?

Answering my own question.
Run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppaRun
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeOpen http://www.nvidia.com/Download. Provide your VGA type, the website will show you the best driver version. Don't download the driver provided by the website. It is quite difficult to install the provided driver. You should turn off x session etc.
Install the driver from the ppa. My driver version is 390.42, so I type:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390
It works perfectly now
