Re: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0 Ubuntu 11.10

 

The nvidia driver is tried to get loaded after the card is turned off. Can
you try to prevent the nvidia
driver from automatically loading? I.e. boot with the
modprobe.blacklist=nvidia-current,nvidia option.
