Re: Temporarily disable NVIDIA Gpu (laptop)

How to check if it is rnning on xwayland?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waylan … plications

I've already attached my journal above so it should be there...

There's no xorg log in that

[    19.029] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[    19.029] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver i965
[    19.077] (II) IGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[    19.077] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0

Regardless, get rid of xf86-video-intel, use 'Driver "modesetting"' in your configlet.

Anyway I think that the point now is to find out why I can't run my script (bbswitch) my nvidia from text console.

Juging from your previous journal

Apr 03 17:38:04 IUseArchBTW kernel: pci 0000:00:1f.4: BAR 4 [io  0xefa0-0xefbf]
Apr 03 17:38:04 IUseArchBTW kernel: fbcon: Deferring console take-over
Apr 03 17:38:04 IUseArchBTW kernel: simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: [drm] fb0: simpledrmdrmfb frame buffer device
Apr 03 17:38:07 IUseArchBTW kernel: fbcon: Deferring console take-over
Apr 03 17:38:07 IUseArchBTW kernel: nvidia 0000:01:00.0: [drm] fb0: nvidia-drmdrmfb frame buffer device
Apr 03 17:38:07 IUseArchBTW kernel: fbcon: i915drmfb (fb1) is primary device

Apr 03 17:38:07 IUseArchBTW kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] fb1: i915drmfb frame buffer device

(possibly) the simplydumb device (card reversion) causes nvidia to provide the main framebuffer.
See whether adding "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters changes that and otherwise you can select the framebuffer driver for any VT, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torva … /fbcon.rst - see the "fbcon=map" parameter.

I'll briefly re-iterate that this is hardly an ideal approach.

so no, calendar doesn't run on xwayland

so yes, my nvidia_drm.modeset is 1 from grub defaults. I did some testing about fbcon:

[~ (0) ]$ cat /proc/fb 
0 i915drmfb

I used con2fbmap utility then:
All my consoles are linked to the buffer -1 by default.
I tried to run my script from console modified by the following command:

con2fbmap `fgconsole` 0

but it still freezes.
