driver name is found be running:
```
lspci -vn | less -p VGA
```
Look for “Kernel driver in use:”

...
blacklist mgag200
blacklist nouveau
...

Run lspci -nv and grab the hexadecimal PCI id.
e.g. for
```
07:00.0 0300: 10de:0322 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
```
the PCI ID would be 10de:0322. The slot ID/address is 07:00.0
Then take the slot address in the previous example *07:00.0 and prepend “0000:” so that you have something like 0000:07:00.0. Then execute the following command to unbind the current driver
```
echo 0000:07:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/driver/unbind
```
Then take the PCI ID in the previous example 10de:0322 and replace the “:” with a space then run the following command
```
echo 102b 0522 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id
```
