Another one where the command is not known…xrandr: command not found
Provided by xorg-xrandr
If the command glxinfo | grep 'renderer string' returns your nvidia, everything is run on nvidia and your igpu is never ever used (for graphics).
Is it possible to set it up as intel for day to day, and nVidia for gaming?
That is what the hybrid is supposed to do, but is sometimes buggy to say the least, I solved it by switching to my igpu hdmi port, but you cant do that. 
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…
