Xrandr provider outputs for Reverse Prime / Prime Offloading

Navin Shrinivas · 2022-01-23 03:53:23

Hey, this is my first post in the Linux forums, any mistakes please point them out.

I want to get prime offloading going off on my laptop (Dual GPU setup AMD integrated and NVIDIA dedicated). I followed the arch wiki on reverse prime and did the following :

- Making sure my nvidia drivers version is above 470
- Set my xorg conf so that I get 2 providers in xrandr
- add nvidia module to mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate initramfs (For early loading)

After doing these $ xrandr --listproviders is only giving a single provider, I have attached the basic conf and outputs in the paste below.
Any other needed outputs I can provide as well.

Paste bin

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

Errr… what ?

Reverse prime is for if you want to run on the integrated chip but use an output that is wired to the dedicated GPU - is that your scenario?
Please post your xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General and "dmesg"

I've also had this problem if I wanted to use the Prime method, I also don't know why it doesn't read 2 gpu, even though I'm already using opensource graphics. Then I tried the method with optimus manager for change Nvidia for globaly, and success.

Because you disabled it w/ bbswitch or acpi_call or you've completely disabled it w/ some configuration or it's not yet ready when the display server starts or whatnot.
Either way, we do not yet know what the OPs intentions are and once we do't it's a better approach to check his config than to poke around until something™ somehow™ … at least for the moment
