Hello everyone.

I tried to install set up Optimus with the following guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus

I was following this link also: 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 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:

    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection   


* /etc/portage/make.conf

Code:
 VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965 iris nvidia fbdev vesa"


* lsmod | grep nvidia

Code:
    nvidia_drm             61440  2
    nvidia_modeset       1155072  3 nvidia_drm
    nvidia              34750464  89 nvidia_modeset


* lsmod | grep i9 does not show anything

* cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

Code:

# NVIDIA drivers options
# See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-*/README.txt* for more information.

# nvidia-drivers and nouveau cannot be used at same time.
# Comment out the following line if you wish to allow nouveau.
blacklist nouveau

# Kernel Mode Setting (needed EGLStream/Wayland)
# Enabling may possibly cause issues with SLI and Reverse PRIME.
#options nvidia-drm modeset=1

# Suspend options. Allocations=0 recommended over =1 unless enable nvidia's
# systemd sleep services (nvidia-hibernate, nvidia-resume, nvidia-suspend).

   NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=0 \
   NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

# !!! Security Warning !!!

   NVreg_DeviceFileGID=27 \
   NVreg_DeviceFileMode=432 \
   NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 \
   NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=1

# Should be no need to touch anything below.
alias char-major-195 nvidia
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195
remove nvidia modprobe -r --ignore-remove nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm nvidia


* The intel driver is already enabled in the kernel

Code:
 <*> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics


* modprobe i915 shows nothing

* Kernel configuration : https://pastebin.com/6pNtdvBR

* It seems also that sometimes even if my monitors, plugged-in my dock station, are recognized via xrandr, I cannot display anything on them: black screen, idle.

To get my graphical interface back, I have to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Could someone help me fix this issue?

Thank you

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.
