AMDGPU gets disabled by optimus manager when I only dont want intelgpu

When I have my laptop with 0 battery and no charge and when I restart my laptop optimus manager doesnt load in so my amd gpu works but when I use optimus manager and switch the gpu to nvidia on my laptop (I have an amdgpu connected to my laptop and it works) it also disables the amdgpu and when I run neofetch or lspci the amd gpu isnt to be seen so I assume that optimus manager disables my amdgpu when I dont want it to so how do I get both gpus (red and green) to be enabled with optimus manager so that it doesnt turn off the amd gpu that handles my monitors?

Re: AMDGPU gets disabled by optimus manager when I only dont want intelgpu

ok wow that paragraph is basically impossible to understand, can you provide outputs of:

lspci -vv
dmesg
ls -l /etc/X11
for i in $(find /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*); do echo -------$i-------; cat $i; done
pacman -Q|grep -i "nvidia\|amd\|intel\|radeon\|xf86"

also an Xorg log which should be either:

less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
less .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

that will hopefully give us some useful info

also what exactly are you trying to do? from what i gather you have a laptop with intel/nvidia optimus setup and also an external amdgpu via usb ?? what are you trying to do with each card ?
