I need help debugging NVIDIA optimus Xorg freezing

Helllo everyone,

I'm currently having an issue that causes my whole system to hang the moment I run the command 'startx'. I does not happen every time, sometimes it goes through and opens the graphical environment. What I need is some help debugging this issue, I wonder if this is an configuration issue or if it's a genuine bug somewhere in the stack.

I found in the Xorg.0.log file an error:

[916.176] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): WAIT (2, 8, 0x8000, 0x000007d4, 0x000008f4)

It seems like an issue with my GPU that seems to halt the system.I followed this guide to set everything up: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … er_offload

uname output:

Linux xps 6.8.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMT_DYNAMIC Wed, 17 Apr 2024 15:20:28 +0000 x84_64 GNU/Linux

It's a Dell XPS 7590 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile /Max-Q (rev a1)

If more information is needed I'll gladly provide it, thanks for reading.

Kind regards

After the system "hangs", can you still switch to another VT?
Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

If not, don't reboot w/ the power button but use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq)
Then post the xorg log before trying to run startx (still the old one) and the journal of the previous (freezing) boot

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
