Dear wise members of this forum,
I have a problem. I will first give a short summary of it, and then I will provide as much information as I can. Buckle up buckaroos.
Background: I have Manjaro on a laptop with intel iGPU and Nvidia RTX 2060 mobile, and it has worked great for a year with no issues (gpu acceleration works fine, tensorflow uses the dedicated GPU). I have an external monitor connected via HDMI. Some months ago, I updated with sudo pacman -Syyu, and the system has had some issues since that day. I am ashamed to say that only now I have started trying to fix it.
Problem(s) short version:
-
Whenever I start Brave (browser), and sometimes Obsidian (note-taking app), the program freezes for some seconds, during which I cannot interact with the program. After about 10 seconds, I get half a second of “normal” interaction, and another freeze. This happens thrice, after which the program seems to function normally. However, there is something wrong with GPU-acceleration within the program.
- Opening the Molstar viewer website (3D molecular visualization) shows “WebGL does not seem to be available.”
- Opening the webglsamples aquarium demo shows the fishtank, but the default 500 fish are rendered at 10FPS, and the CPU usage skyrockets
- Youtube videos are played, but take a toll on the CPU, and the fans get loud. Also, nvtop shows no GPU usage from brave
-
If I start Blender (3D modeling suite) on the external monitor, the window appears gray and frozen (I have to kill the process to close it); opening Blender in the native laptop screen works normally.
What I have tried:
- If I start Brave or Obsidian with
prime-run X, they don’t show the initial freezing problem. However, the problems outlined above about Brave’s GPU acceleration remain the same. - If I start Blender with
DRI_PRIME=1 blender, it works on the external monitor, but the interface is not rendered very smoothly (that is, low FPS), specially in full-screen mode. - Firefox works perfectly fine with no extra flags, the aquarium demo is shown at 120FPS, molstar is rendered fine, and videos are decoded using the GPU.
- If I start Brave with
DRI_PRIME=1 brave, it shows that it has GPU acceleration (about://gpu), but the aquarium demo is shown at 30FPS, and the Molstar viewer is rendered very laggy.

My thoughts:
I truly feel ashamed to dump such a complex and multi-faceted problem on you people. What motivated to do this was not to “get it working”, but to better understand my system and what went wrong. To me it seems clear that without the run-prime prefix, Brave is trying to get something to work which does not (some graphical protocol, I guess). It tries three times, which corresponds to the unresponsive freezes, and then it gives up.
Using prime-run seems to skip the attempts, yet it arrives to a functionally equivalent state (although the log is very different). The fact that Firefox works without issue tells me that it is not a driver issue, at least not in principle. (I have tried different versions of Brave as well, to no avail).
An idea that has crossed my mind is that the Blender issue in the external display is completely independent from the issue with Brave. Honestly, since I took so long to try and fix whatever is wrong, that I cannot give an accurate account of what failed when. But that fact that the grayed-out window freeze is functionally the same as in Brave leads me to believe that the issues are related.
I have tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers, but there seems to be a deeper dependency with the kernel, and I did not want to mess thing up.
