Installed Manjaro on my old Dell Vostro-3449 laptop. While playing
Minecraft, I noticed the dedicated GPU wasn’t working. Searched online
and learned I needed hybrid drivers. Used mhwd to install them, but after removing the default open-source drivers, my screen turned black with an error: Loadkmap: Short read. Any fixes?
Welcome to the Manjaro community
As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:
Update Announcements
The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
System Information
Output of this command (formatted according to forum requirements) may be useful for those wishing to help:
inxi --filter --verbosity=8
or the short form:
inxi -zv8
Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
