[SOLVED] "(EE) No screens found" after system update/Nvidia optimus

Hello all,

I had several issues with launching X in the past in my dual nvidia/intel GPU system, which I had resolved following suggestions from the wiki/forums. This time a problem occurred after I updated with "Pacman -Syu" and installed the i3wm to try it alongside xfce, which after rebooting led to a broken system.

Trying a different combination of xorg.conf files (or removing them altogether) and proprietary/nouevau drivers the best I achieved was to log in to a black screen. This is what my current configuration looks like (which leads to the dreaded "no screens found" error):

xorg.conf file:

Section "Module"
    Load	"modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier	"nvidia"
    Driver	"nvidia"
    BusID	"PCI:0:9:0"
    Option	"AllowEmptyInitialConfuguration"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier	"intel"
   Driver	"modesetting"
   BusId	"PCI:0:2:0"
   Option	"AccelMethod"	"sna"	
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier	"nvidia"
   Device	"nvidia"
   Option	"AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Output of Pacman -Qs nvidia:

local/libvdpau 1.1.1-2
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia 387.12-1
    NVIDIA drivers for linux
local/nvidia-utils 387.12-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities
local/xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.15-2 (xorg-drivers)
    Open Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards

.xinitrc file (this configuration with modesetting was working fine before the update):

#!/bin/sh

xrand --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrand --auto
xrand --dpi 96

Re: [SOLVED] "(EE) No screens found" after system update/Nvidia optimus

Take a closer look at the bus id...

Also pick nouveau XOR nvidia - not both (and it's always helpful to not have the other one installed)

Re: [SOLVED] "(EE) No screens found" after system update/Nvidia optimus

Thank you seth.

After changing BusID to "PCI:9:0:0" (my apologies for not having noticed that earlier) and uninstalling the nouveau drivers, X launches but only to a black screen. The log file prompted me to re-install the nvidia drivers, which I did, but the issue is still not resolved. The log file reads

Re: [SOLVED] "(EE) No screens found" after system update/Nvidia optimus

Since many years X server doesn't need xorg.conf.  I have dual nvidia / intel GPU (nvidia+i915+optimus) system, it works fine without any xorg.conf file.
To make life easier and debug, try to launch xsession normally (without xorg.conf).

Re: [SOLVED] "(EE) No screens found" after system update/Nvidia optimus

@maderios: he's going after a specific configuration that runs everything on the nvidia chip and redirects it through the IGP - that's achievable with a Screen section in some configlet, but actually no good idea (since configuring your screen is somewhat exclusive)

Re: [SOLVED] "(EE) No screens found" after system update/Nvidia optimus

@seth this did the trick, thank you so much. I cannot explain how xrandr has turned into xrand in all rows of both the root's and my personal user's .xinitrc files. I am really baffled, but thankfully I can now log into xfce once again.

@maderios
It's something I tried doing (as mentioned in my original post), but due to the spelling error with xrandr this wasn't working either. I now tried removing the xorg.conf file altogether as you suggest and I can confirm that it works too.

In other news, after finally reaching my desktop neither my keyboard, not the mouse/touchpad respond to anything, it's like my desktop is frozen... I will probably have to open a new topic for that though, after I do some investigation. Marking as solved.
