I’m using an old machine with dual video cards. I like to use the intel video card and hibernate the nvidia video card, but when using the intel video card sometimes random small dots appear and disappear on the screen. I had this problem in ubuntu and enabling ubuntu intel tearfreeze solved my problem. When I enable intel tearfreeze in Manjaro, the login screen does not appear.
I enabled intel tearfreeze like this:
I created the 20-intel.conf file with sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and wrote the following in it :
How can I activate intel tearfree in manjaro?
I don’t want to use my Nvidia video card by default because it tires the system too much. Instead, I prefer DRI_PRIME=1 or prime-run to open the program I want with nvidia.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file at the time I got the error said the following:

In my previous answer I think I copied something wrong, so I pasted the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from when I got the error.
