ASUS FX505DU dual GPU and Wayland

Hi,

I have  an ASUS FX505DU laptop. This comes with a Ryzen7-3750h
The internal panel is hard wired to the built in Vega 10 GPU.
The HDMI port is hard wired to the nVidia GTX 1660 Ti.

To my surprise, a base Arch/Gnome install with Wayland has everything working out of the box.
However, I can't enable the nVidia GPU goodies.

how do I configure wayland to use the nevidia gpu on display :1?

Yes, I did install the pacman pacages for nvidia (440:64-8)

Kind Regards,
Marout

You can't, you will need xorg for any kind of integration in that regard and you will want to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus

Ok. Will see to that.
However X-org so far only produced garbage on the nvidia/hdmi screen.
(only the cursor is recognisable. Background and windows are funny colours and stripes)
