Help with nvidia-xrun ?

Hi guys

I need some help to use nvidia-xrun. Currently i am using the first solution of the wiki which basically installs the proprietary nvidia drivers and just enabled drm to avoid tearing.

I have tried to use nvidia-xrun by using this guide https://www.devpy.me/nvidia-xrun/ but it doesn't work for me. Are there any changes that i have made using the proprietary drivers which might affect the nvidia-xrun?

I was thinking of using optimus-manager but the fact that it doesn't save the session and logs you out is a bit of a drawback for me

Booting to intel desktop works ok but when i run nvidia-xrun on tt2 i get the message

NO screens found

Here is my xorg.conf

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 430.34

Re: Help with nvidia-xrun ?

"it doesn't work" is not an error message.

As far as knowing if any changes you made may prevent nvidia-xrun from working, you'd need to tell us something about the changes you've made!

But overall, don't follow unsupported guides when there is a complete page on our wiki:
