 Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2021 10:06 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Optimus Settings |
 |
|
Hello everyone.
I tried to install set up Optimus following the following guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus
I was following this link: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/460.91.03/README/randr14.html
When I did xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0, I got the following error:
| Code: | | Could not find provider with name modesetting |
With tabs, bash suggested the following command
| Code: | | xrandr --setprovideroutputsource Intel NVIDIA-G0 |
but now, I have the following error:
| Code: | X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 35 (RRSetProviderOutputSource)
Value in failed request: 0x248
Serial number of failed request: 16
Current serial number in output stream: 17
|
Information:
* xrandr --listproviders
| Code: | Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x48 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 5 outputs: 4 associated providers: 0 name:Intel
Provider 1: id: 0x248 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 7 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-G0 |
* lspci | grep VGA
| Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 9a60 (rev 01)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 25b8 (rev a1) |
* cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Screen 0 "nvidia"
Inactive "intel"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Device "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "modesetting"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel"
Device "intel"
EndSection |
I tried to reboot by adding xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0 and xrandr --auto in xinitrc and the other command same command but I still have a blackscreen
To get my graphical interface back, I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Can you help me to fix this issue?
Thank you

nvidia proprietary drivers are very annoying, try to use nouveau open source driver instead, i had similar problem as yours, after installing the open source driver, i got the gui back. nvidia manages to stop supporting the older devices by time, therefore no longer providing updates. the open source driver is not the same

for the optimus technology the alternative open source option is bumblebee and here is the link to its wiki for gentoo

Due to an issue with my wifi+bleutooth card, I moved temporarily to sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin:5.10.12.
While solving the issue with this card, I looked carefully at BIOS menus and I found that I could disable
Hybrid Graphic Cards and work entirely with the "Discrete GPU". I did disable the option and everything
seems to work fine for now after the installation of nvidia drivers. |
