Hi all,
I am new to manjaro, I am using KDE withe kernel 4.19 of an Apple converted computer.
When i check inxi -G I always see that I use dGPU
However I only want to use iGPU as I only do web navigation with this computer,
How can I enable only iGPU?
(I have tried optimus-manager following: Optimus Manager - Tutorials - Manjaro Linux Forum but my system does not start up when I install it)
here is my inxi -Gazy output

Does this " Device-1: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
mean my iGPU is off, how can I put it on?
Thanks right away

edit your post and put all the outputs into here </>
however, if im seeing it correctly, there are no available drivers for your nvidia, so you dont have nvidia drivers installed, and youre running on i915 drivers, which are intel/integrated drivers
I hope to do correct this time

there are no available drivers for your nvidia to install, so you dont have nvidia drivers installed, altough your nvidia hardware is being detected … so you dont have to activate your igpu… youre already running on i915 drivers, which are intel/integrated drivers …
Thank you for the info and quick reply
Just for me to learn to read outputs:
What is the output that shows this information?
the command mhwd -l
shows what available drivers are there for your system … it doesnt show any available nvidia drivers for your system, and that should be concerning to you, since your nvidia hardware is being detected… the command inxi -Fazy show under ‘Graphics’ that youre running on i915 - intel drivers, and shows under Nvidia the nouveau driver, which is the open source drivers, which is really not a good driver, and can cause som graphical issues…
