[Resolved] intel graphics - dual gpu laptop

Hi

I've got a new laptop with a dual set of graphics cards.

After messing around with prime offloading - intel > nvidia; I was able to get most of my steam games working, however a few did not. I also noticed that I got some weird horizontal lines/black windows when trying to use integrated graphics

After lots of messing around, I've settled on using envycontrol to set my card to nvidia.

Everything works nicely when I set to nvidia; however I would like to use integrated the vast majority of the time and save battery (hopefully)

When switching to integrated; I still get the weird black windows/non updating windows/lines on windows. I followed the arch wiki on installing the required packages. Am I missing something?

0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)
    Subsystem: Dell Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915

Re: [Resolved] intel graphics - dual gpu laptop

Is xf86-video-intel installed ?
If yes, remove it (your system is about a decade too new for that driver)

If xf86-video-intel is not installed

X or wayland ?
How are you starting the GUI ?
What is you WM/DE/wayland compositor ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Thanks

Removing xf86-video-intel fixed the problem. I basically installed everything archwiki had on there

It started behaving itself perfectly

You didn't see the blue note in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_ … stallation ?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
