[ubuntu_mate] MacBookPro6,2 - how to blacklist Intel video and use only Nvidia

$

Hi,

I have a 2010-ish MacBookPro6,2, which has hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics.

Switching does not work - it black-screens if I enable the Nvida driver, so I have to use Nouveau, but Nouveau runs the GPU at full speed, resulting in an alarmingly hot machine and a lot of fan noise.

Can anyone clue me in as to how I might disable or blacklist the Intel side, so that I could use the Nvidia driver and benefit from its GPU clock control?

Do I need to somehow disable the mux as well in order to prevent it from trying to switch?

I am using Ubuntu Mate 16.04

Ta!

Philk
