@82280zx that's a common issue with Nv latest drivers, try to found out if officially supported Alienware's 900M are also affected. If so, report it on GF forums as being an AW 2015 issue.

THANK YOU!

Everything appears to work now (as with old INF mod) but the Context Menu reappeard now
Going to test on my windows 10 partition to see if everything goes well there too.

Will you implement this infs in the next drivers for now on? It would help us a lot (i spent nights trying to mod the infs but with every new version it seems to change here and there :/ )

Thank you again

Yep, I will include the P150EM.

With the modded inf of clevo (non-optimu) it worked and everything seems do work fine, except the context menu where i could choose the GPU to use with some programs...nothing major as i can do that manually on the nvidia control panel.

Thanks for all the help.

Heres my GPU-Z screenshot to add the p150em to the device list if anyone wants it:

Here you go *nvcvi.inf*, like the P170EM I'll add P150EM from now on.

Will this modded inf work on a Clevo P150EM with an 980m? There is mention of the P170EM on the instructions but no file with that model to download.

SOLVED(for current driver) clevo p170em+gtx970em:

Ok so after weeks looking in foruns and crap i managed to find a combo that worked....

Here is how i got it working 5m ago:

I only needed to mod 2 inf files, nvcvi.inf and nvdispi.inf.

I started by the original nvcvi.inf and looked for my device 13d8 which already existed, there was no reference to my latpop/model on the one provided in this forum or anywhere online so far.

So I basically added the ids (7102 for my p170em) on top of the code for another clevo laptop wich connects to section063.
I'm not sure if I changed anything else, but in the section I did import the code for that part from J95's inf.

As far as I remember thats all the mods i did. Saved and decided to use the nvdispi that so far got me optimus support as base(j95s), no changes.

Tbh I had little hopes of this working since I have used guides in past to mod infs and they all failed miserably.

Somehow this time not only installed perfectly(no need to delete folders or whatever) it also enabled dx12 and vulkan support with optimus something I havent experience ever since I upgraded this laptop.

I will upload the working inf files for whoever needs. Not sure they'd work for future drivers though.

meanwhile...
ALELUIA!

p170em_gtx_970m_378.78.zip

Well done! Those are the same sections I'm using for AW/Optimus, meaning that nv_dispi.inf is not required.

I'll be adding these entries for the next release, just copy nvcvi.inf from Clevo PEG and ditch nv_dispi.inf instead.
