Switching to nvidia gives black screen. GPU offloading does not work in hybrid mode.

Please edit your post to add code tags around command output and file contents.

example

In hybrid mode run

xrandr --listproviders

and post the output.

The nvidia chip isn't even listed. What's the corresponding xorg log?

The first log tries to use the nvidia chip and the 2nd one deactivates it.
Remove optimus manager, start an unconfigured X11 server and post the logs for that as well as "xrandr --listproviders"
I'm not sure this is an optimus system at all...

Removed optimus-manager and rebooted.

Hello,
managed to use NVIDIA graphics only by referring to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only.
Thank You For All your help seth.

$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x278 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 2 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x2c4 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting

$ glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"  
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 620M/PCIe/SSE2

Solved.
