and I use the Kernel 5.10.
I tried to install the Nvidia Driver via Manjaro Settings Auto Install Open-Source and Proprietary Driver and none seem to work.
The Driver is not detected Device-2: NVIDIA TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q] driver: N/A.
You need to run stuff you want on the nvidia card with prime-run if you intend to use nvidia’s real prime offloading support.
Example: prime-run glxinfo -B prime-run glxgears prime-run firefox
what do you get if you run that?
Thanks, I get the following if I run these commands:
prime-run glxinfo -B

You don’t actually need the switch you can just use the prime-run command like @anon89812132 said. Personally I run everything on the intergrated gpu and then use lutris for launching games/steam. In lutris just tick the prime render offload option and then all games will automatically run on the nvidia card
Thanks, so I reinstalled Manjaro with booting into proprietary drivers and if I open kdenlive for example with prime-run kdenlive in the terminal, then it seems to work.
Thanks a lot.
You can add kdenlive to your desktop and then right click/edit and go into properties. If you edit the launch command there by putting prime-run infront of it everytime you launch it from desktop it will run on nvidia card. Bit nicer than using cli all the time
