Thats how it should be … if your prime was working correctly.
Have you done any other configuration ?
Can we see the mhwd output?
mhwd -l -li
(and still the xrandr output too … yes … install the package)
thanks -which one? there are a couple there in that list… sorry not trying to be obtuse. I’ve read that one dud tool or driver can break ones setup…

if it doesn’t make sense I can try and “tidy” it up a bit??
Moderator edit: In the future, please use proper formatting: [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text
It’s got an X11, LXDE one, GTK+3 one and three others all saying they are official repos???
Enclose it in 3 tics like so
```

And it seems the first part where it shows the installed profiles is cut off.
I’m sorry, I dont have any idea what you mean. There is only a single package labeled xorg-xrandr in the repos, and there is only one matching that in your own photo.

ahhhh, sorry…I gotcha - it was the “primitive command line” bit made me think it was old, especially with the AutoRandR below it…I’ll put it in now.
restarting…
Pretty sure the second part is the installed ones and the available ones are above:

No … its showing available profiles for the 2 different cards.
(normal for a dual-gpu setup … but means there should be 3 sections total …)
The top bit with “Installed PCI Configs” is missing.
ex, from mine:
$ mhwd -li -l

tried using the back marks but it seemed to cut some stuff off - just redid it using the back marks (under the tilde key) seems like stuff is cutoff but hopefully you’ll get it…
Maybe the modesetting is acting up, I don’t have that on my system, but let cscs have his say first.

thanks!n haha I’ve still got a misbehaving bluetooth mouse to troubleshoot as well, so I’ll keep on with that…
Okey doke.
Looks like the correct profile … we can do our due dilligence and update, reinstall the driver:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
but the juicy bits have been shown:
This is unusual … normally provider 0 is the iGPU and provider 1 is the dGPU.
EDIT - Nevermind I guess. I have just been informed by some people that actually use nvidia (+ prime) that sometimes it looks like that and it is not a reason why prime would not work.
So … there must be some other reason why nvidia is the default …

Right, will do that now…will post that again afterwards if its different
Okay - first command said nothing to do
Second one did a whole lot of uninstalling and installing with a few warning messages about firmware missing for various things, no fonts found…but the end result was
Successfully installed video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
re ran the mhwd - all the same, except it added at the bottom
