Hi there!
I'm trying to force my laptop (Lenovo e540) to always use the nvidia graphic card and forget about the intel one.
I've followed the official wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … ing_nvidia) but I ends with a black screen. I know about this bug (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43830) but it should be closed right now.
Really don't know what to do next... :-(
any hints?
** xorg.conf ** :
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Screen 0 "nvidia"
Inactive "intel"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Device "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "True"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "modesetting"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel"
Device "intel"
EndSection
** xinit ** :
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
** xorg.0.log ** :
maybe is a problem of this warning?
[ 22.359] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device for DPI computation.
help :-)

Im just curious (if this would apply to you), does you BIOS have the capability to specify the card to use? In my lenovo Y70 touch, I can specify integrated, discrete or switchable. If you want to just use the nvidia card, it seems like having this set might be a better option?
Also, try setting the AccelMethod to sna for the intel device. The wiki has a comment about trying this on some systems.

BIOS allow me to set only intel or intel+nvidia, not just nvidia, too bad...
I've tryied everything the wiki say, but no way.
If I'll not be able to set it correctly I'll need to use bumblebee... :-/
