Setup:
I have a laptop which I commonly use connected to an external monitor and keep the in-built one disabled ~90% of the time.
External monitor: 1920x1080 60Hz
In-built: 1920x1080 144Hz
Issue:
I don’t have any additional software installed to switch graphics cards (such as envy-control etc.) and am happy to use prime-run to selectively push specific applications to Nvidia otherwise default to Intel on xorg.
- Using this setup, it causes random freezes on the external display when in-built + external are enabled.
- Works really well when only in-built screen is enabled.
- External screen runs on 1 FPS when in-built is disabled (confirmed with
glxgears).
The only workaround I’ve found is to run xorg on Nvidia using reverse-prime as shown in PRIME - ArchWiki. This is a really good workaround, but at the cost of battery life.
I’ve looked around and this issue seems similar to what I face - 1-2 FPS in external screen with nvidia 525 drivers installed - #3 by jhakonen - Ask Fedora. Seems like one of the driver updates caused an issue as I remember it working well before.
Unfortunately, I can only give anecdotal evidence of this as I decided to switch from ext4 to btrfs and did a reinstall around that time.
Has anyone in the community found a workaround I might have missed?
