[SOLVED]MSI Laptop issue with Intel and Nvidia graphics cards and Xorg

PetrusEnus · 2018-11-24 17:46:05

Hello,

i have an issue with my Laptop. There are 2 graphics cards in there one is a integrated Intel graphics card and the other one is a Nvidia 1060M wich is wired to the 2 outputs Mini-Displayport and a HDMI Port.
The Problem here is, that the intel graphics card puts out its screen, but the nvidia one doesn't. The second or third monitor only turns on the backlight and shows somehow a loading icon of whatever program i'm starting, like from opera, but it doesn't show anything else, no cursor nothing. And xrandr --listproviders doesn't recognize the second graphics card.

My uname -a:

 Linux archer 4.19.2-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 13 21:16:19 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Output of xrandr --listproviders:

Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x45 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 2 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

Output of lspci | egrep "(VGA|3D)" is:

But sudo lshw -c display

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf lokks like this

My /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia looks like this

My /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf looks like this

I tried it with and without /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia has been "normal" in the beginning it was worse in the beginning so i thought i keep it like that.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is nearly empty, just a conf for the keyboard...

My /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf looks like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "IntelDevice"
    Driver "intel"
    BusID "PCI:0:02:0"
    Option "VirtualHeads" "1"
EndSection

In here i have as well nothing else just synaptics and things like that.

/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d is empty.

My /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks like this
My /var/log/Xorg.1.log looks like this
My /var/log/Xorg.8.log looks like this

I've installed these(sudo pacman -Q | grep nvidia):
lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-6
lib32-nvidia-utils 415.18-1
lib32-opencl-nvidia 415.18-1
nvidia 415.18-1
nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-5
nvidia-settings 415.18-1
nvidia-utils 415.18-1
opencl-nvidia 415.18-1

And these (sudo pacman -Q | grep intel):
intel-gpu-tools 1.22-3
intel-tbb 2019-1
intel-ucode 20180807.a-1
lib32-libva-intel-driver 2.2.0-1

lib32-vulkan-intel 18.2.4-1
libva-intel-driver 2.2.0-1
libva1-intel-driver 1.8.3-1
vulkan-intel 18.2.4-1
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+855+g746ab3bb-1

And for sure bumblebee and bbswitch
And activated the bumblebeed.service.

I hope I have showed everything, if not ask me about it.

I tried so much I don't know what to do. Please someone help.

No answers? Okay... i'm still struggeling with this issue, but i got it that far, that the second graphics Card got detected by xrandr somehow, because the first gpu is detected on screen 0 and as well the monitor of the laptop. On screen 1 is the second gpu detected and its monitors:
xrandr --screen 0 --listproviders

   640x480       75.00    72.81    59.94  
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Even nvidia-settings detects the second monitor but like I said on the wrong screen..
nvidia-settings

I hope someone can help me now.

Well.. I kinda fixed it. And managed it to get a dual-screen setup working. With removing these:

sudo pacman -Rdd xf86-video-intel lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia nvidia-bumblebee-applet nvidia-cg-toolkit nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils nvidia-xrun opencl-nvidia bumblebee bbswitch-dkms  vulkan-intel mesa virtualgl lib32-virtualgl lib32-libva lib32-libva1 lib32-libva1-intel-driver lib32-libva-intel-driver lib32-libva-mesa-driver lib32-mesa lib32-vulkan-intel lib32-mesa-demos

(I've had a linux-lts kernel installed, to try the dkms packages)
Then I only installed these:

sudo pacman -S mesa xf86-video-nouveau libva-mesa-driver mesa-vdpau

And i removed every .conf from the system, that would configure graphics settings. Like in

/usr/share/X11/

,

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

,

/etc/X11/

and

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Then I just rebootet, and it loaded somehow.
