Hi all,
I recently installed Manjaro KDE and let it auto install proprietary drivers for my graphics. I am currently attempting to use a Thunderbolt 3 dock with basic peripherals and two 1080p monitors. I have tested the hardware with Windows to be certain that everything is compatible. My issue is that my graphics configuration allows only one monitor to be connected at a time to be usable (both are detected regardless), and that any ‘successful’ connection of a monitor (directly and through the dock) results in an extremely lagy experience on that monitor. I believe that I need assistance configuring my graphics such that the internal Nvidia GPU can be utilized for those monitors. All other devices connected to the dock (keyboard, flash drives, and mouse) work properly. I am not really sure what the current Intel/Nvidia graphics setup is on my laptop, but one clue is that I can run the command prime-run
to utilize the Nvidia GPU for specific processes.
Below is the output of inxi -Faz
