Running dedicated GPU Card in my laptop

Newbie Corner
#1

There's plenty of those topics, but none of them is solution for my problem.

I have both Intel and GeForce GTX 1050 in my laptop. I tried to change bumblee for nvidia-390xx to run only on NVidia card however it didn't work as expected. Then I deleted it and get Pointer to TMDS table invalid (It's probably because nouveau drivers are not supporting my GPU). With liveUSB I reverted those with mhwd-chroot and then I lost access to nvidia-settings.

Can someone help with making dedicated GPU working as expected (f.e. in Steam Games)?

I'm not professional but U can change your kernel from chroot. Give it a try !

#3

Changing kernels isn't a solution to my problem

#4

If U can change your kernel, bumblebee doenst work and you can login your entire system :confused:

Edit: Sorry, I wont read end of your post :sob:

#5

Have you tried this guide ?

#6

Well what I want is Bumblebee running my dedicated GPU. And to know if that's possible?

#7

Of course it is possible! But Im using prime method so I dont know what U shall do.

Can you give us output of :

inxi -Fx
sudo mhwd -l
xrandr --listprovider
#8

mhwd -li

Are you sure of this? All these installed? I doubt it..
Install auto non-free.
Why use 390 when you can run the latest?
