[SOLVED] Help with disabling intel graphics

Hello. I have a laptop with installed ArchLinux and it has 2 graphics adapters: intel and radeon. 2 kernel modules loaded (i915 and radeon). How can I disable intel graphics? I just want to use radeon card. (bios does not support disabling integrated graphics)

Maybe it's impossible? The display is probably wired to the Intel GPU so you need it enabled to drive the display.

About running your desktop on your AMD GPU, check out the sections "(3) Reverse PRIME" and "(3.1) Discrete card as primary GPU" of the PRIME article in the ArchWiki:

Checked this wiki page and found something interesting that makes this method impossible.

Oh, sorry, this is my mistake. Changed session to gnome on xorg and all working. Thanks!
