Hello everyone,
I recently noticed some graphics problems after the stable 2024-05-13 update. I already described the problems here and thought they were resolved after another update (which was not the case; they only disappeared in certain situations).
I want to try to fix it by switching from the open-source to the proprietary drivers but I am not sure if that’s possible because I am using a hybrid system (my CPU has an integrated graphics, see below).
The manjaro guide to configuring graphics cards says that for several GPUs PIRME GPU offloading
will automatically be available for hybrid graphics systems using intel/modesetting for the integrated card and free drivers (AMDGPU or Nouveau) for the dGPU.
As far as I can see, it does not say if this is possible with the proprietary drivers as well. I don’t even think I need PRIME GPU offloading. As you can see, I am really not sure how things work here and would be very grateful to get some advice or hints to resources that could help me.
Some information about my system:
