outsch, you have to dig deeper into linux. you’re asking for dual-graphics, a integrated intel and the nvidia. in general the setting is actually that the intel-card is used and the so called “prime” driver is active. in this case you have to add “prime-run” to an application if you want that this application is running explicit with nvidia. the other way is to use “optimus”. with optimus every application is running with the graphics-card that you define explicit (the way that i prefer).
you can check it by opening a console and run
glxinfo | grep server
i expect the output is something with “SGI” in this case intel is active. if you run this command again with
prime-run glxinfo | grep server
and the output is “nvidia” then the prime-driver is active.
if you want to change to optimus and want to run nvidia as standalone i can give you further advice. but before we need the general information of the famous inxi-command that should be given always. please read the below-advice
Welcome to Manjaro!
- Please read this:
[HowTo] Provide System Information
and press the three dots … below your post and press theto give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… - An
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
