Hi,

My Asus Rog G551VW have the Optimus technology, it has an integrated and a discrete cards.

And

[mohamed@asusrog ~]$ glxinfo | grep NVIDIA
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 455.45.01

But I have the screen tearing problem, I tested my pc using testufo.

I am using:

KDE with SDDM, and linux-lts is my main kernel

kernel-lts: 5.4.85-1-lts
nvidia-lts: 455.45.01-7

These are the steps that I was walkthrough:

1) I installed these packges

sudo pacman -S xorg nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-settings nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils mesa-demos lib32-mesa-demos libva-vdpau-driver 
lib32-libva-vdpau-driver nvidia-libgl lib32-nvidia-utils vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader opencl-nvidia lib32-opencl-nvidia vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-intel

NOTE: I removed xf86-video-intel

2) I copyed /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

[mohamed@asusrog ~]$ ls -lh /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

3) I added nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to grub

[mohamed@asusrog ~]$ cat /etc/default/grub 
# GRUB boot loader configuration

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

#GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"

4) I added these to sddm

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

[mohamed@asusrog ~]$ cat /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
#!/bin/sh
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … timus#SDDM

5) Finally, I enabled nvidia-persistenced.service

systemctl enable nvidia-persistenced.service

[mohamed@asusrog ~]$ sudo systemctl status nvidia-persistenced.service

I don't know what can I do to eliminate screen tearing.

Is there anything I forget to configure?

Hi, today this happened to me too (since many months of zero tearing issues) - similar laptop config but NVIDIA GTX 1050.
Let me say that this already happened in past - I use to fall back, for a while, to lts kernel (with lts nvidia drivers and kernel headers) - which also in this very occasion does not have any tearing issue.
This is of course not a solution, but I'm a frustrated Intel+NVIDIA laptop owner, which already fought this battle too many times.

Hi, dalfa. Thanks for your replying.

It's really odd, I am sure I did follow the arch's wiki step by step. And after this nothing!

Today I noticed new updates: the kernel, nvidia and some xorg packages. I did a full update for my system and restart the system then the tearing disappeared. Thank God.

As arch's nature a full update can break or fix you system. But in my case the update fixed my system.

In that post, he uses the latest kernel. But I am using the lts version.

As I read, too, https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-45528 … -linux-59/.

linux >= 5.9 breaks some nvidia features.

All the same, thanks.

A whoops sorry totally missed that, the 5.9 issues are fixed FWIW, that PRIME sync is broken is "new"
