Hi,
I have an Intel i5-4690K with integrated graphics (disabled in the BIOS, PEG mode) and an AMD R9 390 graphics card in my desktop. I would like to use the output on the dGPU exclusively without using the iGPU at all (separate cables, requires a BIOS change to use the iGPU, Windows uses the dGPU already etc, basically its a pain).
I have read about DRI_PRIME and Reverse Prime and I don’t think they quite solve my issue, however this section in the PRIME Arch wiki page does sound promising (PRIME - ArchWiki).
I created a 10-gpu.conf
file based on the wiki entry, making some educated guesses (omitting the intel
entries because the iGPU is disabled):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Screen 0 "amd"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "amd"
Driver "video-linux"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "amd"
Device "amd"
EndSection
based on the output of these commands:
> mhwd -li
Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Hawaii PRO [Radeon R9 290/390] (rev 80)
I had no output at all before creating the file but I have now got as far as seeing a blank screen with the following output:
/dev/sdb2: clean, 286552/140057472 files, 28979834/324349879874 blocks
Which I understand is not an error, however my system wont boot any further. I can reach the tty
using ctrl+alt+F2
and I am comfortable using the terminal, though this is my first try with an Arch based distro (fresh install, not worried about borking). I feel like I am tantalizingly close to being up and running, can anyone advise on how I can investigate from here?
In case it helps:
