Nvidia driver conflict with bumblebbe

Support Graphics & Display
1

So after installing manjaro KDE I had automatically video-hybird-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebbe installed but after using 'inxi -G’I have this output which shows my nvidia is not installed:

           Device-1: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
           Device-2: NVIDIA GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] driver: N/A
           Device-3: Alcor Micro USB 2.0 PC Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.13 driver: loaded: intel resolution: 1366x768~60Hz
           OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2) v: 3.3 Mesa 21.2.3

I tried to install video-nvidia-390xx driver on hardware configuration window buy I get conflict error:

Error: config 'video-nvidia-390xx' conflicts with config(s): video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee

my “mhwd -li” output:

Please review how these things work.

Example:

glxinfo | grep renderer
optirun glxinfo | grep renderer
primusrun glxinfo | grep renderer

glxinfo | grep renderer

    GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_NV_float_buffer, 
    GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, 
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2)

optirun glxinfo | grep renderer:

OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 540M/PCIe/SSE2

primusrun glxinfo | grep renderer:

OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 540M/PCIe/SSE2

Looks like your bumblebee/nvidia works fine.

Then why I have Driver: N/A here when I run inxi -G?

 Device-2: NVIDIA GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] driver: N/A

Also I cannot adjust the display brightness…

Yeah well inxi isnt a graphical program … but you may still notice:

Whereas earlier it was

… the point is … this is how bumblebee works. Nothing is wrong.
