[SOLVED] Check that the laptop graphics card is installed correctly

SPYAM · 2020-11-13 15:07:14

Hello
I have two laptop graphics cards
Intel HD Graphics 5500
AMD Radeon R5 M320 2GB
Want to help check if both are fully installed?

They are, without you doing anything special normally.

If you want to know how you can make use of the second card because by default everything will use the intel card, prepend commands you want to run with

DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo -B

I sent your service, right?
Thanks for telling me that he used an amd graphics card

That's an example and shows the amd card is being used. The important part is the DRI_PRIME=1 . Prepend that to any command you want more graphics power on, e.g. games or so.

Let me tell you something one by one
I installed many Linux distributions and supported them, but none of them are and will not be like Arch.
Thank you very much to all of you for multiplying the pleasure of using Linux, especially the distribution of Arch.
Thanks
