Hi there, I’m new to the forum.
I have a laptop, Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 15ARH, and I’m running Manjaro with kernel 5.11, because the touchpad doesn’t work with 5.10.
Everything works fine, however when I attach an external monitor with a high resolution, the mouse starts lagging. I assume this is because the integrated AMD graphics card isn’t strong enough, and I wanted to activate the dedicated nvidia graphics card.
By default, mhwd
installed video-linux
. When trying to install video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-450xx-prime (which I gathered is the correct driver, correct me if I’m wrong), it says:
video-linux is already installed.
How can I configure and set the dedicated nvidia graphics card as my primary card to avoid the performance issues associated with the external monitor?
Here is the output of inxi -G:
