are you using the system drivers that came in Parrot, [preferred for compatibility]. Alternatively NVIDIA issued A new driver last month

Driver Results | <dd~ProductName> | <dd~OSName>

Lookup results for <dd~ProductName> product and Operating System <dd~OSName>

It's probably best to look on this page of the ParotOS documentation about Nvidia, they mention bumblebee as well.

You can go to the Developer Nvidia site and get the drivers

Datacenter Driver Downloads

developer.nvidia.com

Since Parrot 7 is based on Debian 13 you can get that - click on “Linux” → “x86_64” → “Debian” → “13” → “deb (network)”

Hope this helps

I dont think drivers are the problem....i think its just told wrong to kernel from where and what to pool and use
