[SOLVED] Cannot get NVIDIA GeForce MX450 to work

I have an integrated graphics card in my Intel i7 CPU and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX450 graphics card. 

$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 5088
	Kernel modules: i915
--
05:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce MX450] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 5088
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

I am trying to run startx from a tty using my NVIDIA graphics card, I have set it up as described in the arch wiki pages for NVIDIA and NVIDIA_Optimus#Use_NVIDIA_graphics_only.

I tried all kinds of different setups (also following some advice from the wiki page for NVIDIA/Troubleshooting), but nothing worked.

This is the current setup I have:

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf (If anyone asks, yes, I have regenerated the initramfs after editing):

[...]
MODULES=(i915 nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
[...]

 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

exec i3


What happens when I startx is the following: I get the log output until the line '(==) Using system config direcotry "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"', then the tty freezes in that state. I can switch to other ttys (with a couple of seconds of a black screen in between). When I switch back the to tty where I did startx, I still see the screen from the tty I was on before, but except for switching ttys, no keyboard input does anything.



I get the following Xorg-log after a fresh reboot from another tty (you can also see the kernel parameters I set there):

There does not seem to be any errors, just some warnings that I am unable to asses the relevance of.

If I remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf, the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and the xrandr-lines in $HOME/.xinitrc, I can startx using my integrated Intel - graphics card successfully.

What is going wrong here with NVIDIA?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot get NVIDIA GeForce MX450 to work

Remove the blacklist.conf and the xorg.conf it breaks everything else you are setting up. You need the intel card for displaying the screen and blacklisting it's modules breaks everything. Keep the 10-drm-nvidia it is what makes sure that the nvidia card takes over the rendering assuming you want to make it your primary.

FWIW that card is new enough that you could just do https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … er_offload with full power saving support which might lead to generally better results (... in which case you'd also want to remove the 10-drm-nvidia and the added xrandr lines in your .xinitrc) but the above doesn't change, your nvidia card does not have a screen you need the intel card for providing the display, blacklisting i915 modules will not work.

Thank you, this did fix it, and with 'glxinfo | grep NVIDIA' I can verify that the card is indeed being used. I guess I wanted to do too much at once. Thanks smile

I wanted to verify general functionality first, as suggested in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … le_methods. Now I can explore the other methods listed there, such as PRIME render offload.
