Hi Team,
I have a dual-boot setup (Windows 10 + Manjaro) due to some proprietary software need at my work. This is fresh installation of Manjaro using Architect iso. But I’m facing following issues. If possible, please help me out to solve the same.
ISSUES:
- For some reason after I login (refer the GIF below for what happens after I enter my login password) into the Manjaro System, I get screen flickering / tearing issue (they are like giberish vertical RGB Lines on screen). This happens for a second or 2, then the desktop loads back to normal. I have installed video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime and video modsetting.
- This is the first time I’m seeing video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime in action, as in my previous installation, I had used optimus-swtich. Now, when I open nvidia-settings, I don’t see X-screen settings options there. I don’t know, if it’s normal in video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime setup, as in my previous optimus switch setup, I had X-screen options in nvidia-settings.
- Out of curiosity, when I changed to “Discrete Graphics” option in bios and tried to login, this time there was no screen flickering / tearing and no gibberish vertical RGB lines shown at login. But now I couldn’t change / control my screen brightness (possibly any other display related function also might not be working). Hence, I switched back to switchable graphics.
- Last but not the least, I feel the system is a bit slow. Sometimes there are random freezes and the system doesn’t respond at all, and then suddenly starts behaving normally. I think this also is due to video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime.
- Part from using PRIME-RUN command manually for any/all applications, is there any gui or auto setting available to let the application auto launch with prime (based on the program).

If you can help with any of the issues, (especially the screen tearing) it’ll be helpful to me. Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
