How can i install my two vga drivers in laptop?

[mohammadali]

hi, I have an Asus laptop x540up, which has two VGA, first is intel 620hd and second is AMD R5 m420(8500m), and I think I have a problem with my graphics card, I’m not sure about it, but I think, and I’ve asked of some expert engineers what is my laptop problem and they said to me: the problem is of graphics,
and I have gnome latest version with manjaro. also when I had arch this problem was there, but not in ubuntu 20, just arch and manjaro 20
ah and problem: when I’d reboot my laptop, the fan extremely working hard, and it going to hot.
can anyone help me?
if you are agreeing with engineers, then how can I install my VGA driver and rid of this mocking problem?

Both those devices have open drivers … so you probably dont have to do anything.

But start here:

[HowTo] Provide System Information

This tutorial is superseded by this one. Remember all Tutorials are wiki posts that can be edited by TL2 (Trust Level 2) members and above. Welcome to Manjaro! To allow all of us helpful people on this forum TO HELP YOU, we need some basic information about your system. This probably means you described the symptoms of your problem, but now we need some more information to know where the origin of your issue is exactly. Someone else probably linked you to…

EDIT. oops. looks like its a Sea Islands card. Might need some extra steps then to enable ‘experimental support’ for that card to use AMDGPU then. (its most likely currently defaulting to legacy Radeon)

thanks for your response, it means I have to install some package? if yes please tell me what package|s I have to install ? or I have to change some settings? if yes please tell me what setting|s I have to change? please explain to me more, I don’t have advance knowledge about Linux

You have dual-gpu. An iGPU Intel and dGPU radeon (an older sea islands card)
Its basically the same as this scenario:

Which driver should I choose for my AMD graphics card?

So … a few things. Your drivers are already fine. But what you didnt mention is that its a hybrid system. You dont just have a radeon card … you have an intel iGPU and a radeon dGPU. So first of all … you wont be using the radeon card unless you use DRI_PRIME=1 ex: glxinfo | grep 'renderer string' DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep 'renderer string' Next … your dGPU card is legacy. So its using the old radeon driver. But its just on the edge - as a Sea Islands card it can technically get ‘experi…
