Need Help With nvidia-xrun 21 May 2021, 01:23:49 So I guess I just installed things correctly for nvidia-xrun but running the command "nvidia-xrun" in a tty (while sddm is killed ofc) doesn't works. It gives some output, making a blank screen, coming back to the tty from blank screen and says operation terminated succesfully.Xorg.0.log
Re: Need Help With nvidia-xrun Reply #1 – 21 May 2021, 09:47:42 @pofdzm, I look you xorg log, but I don't see any NVIDIA driver loading. Did you install it?. You are loading these drivers:line 87: intelline 92: fbdevline 98: vesaline 111: fbdevhwand after your system unload these modules:line 303: fbdevline 305: fbdevhwline 307: vesa.The only driver that remain active, is intel and probably you are using the integrated GPU of the Intel CPU and this is why nvidia-xrun don't work: you don't have nvidia driver running.I'm not a great expert, but this is what your Xorg log tell :-)

Do you know how can I fix this?

Do you know how can I fix this?I was in a similar situation with an old notebook and, to solve the situation, I migrated to the nouveau driver. Probably you can do the same.

There is also the nvidia-340xx-dkms that is older.I remember that, in some place, you can find which nvidia driver version to use, depending from the GPU. Good luck :-)

Good luck :-)I use the nvidia-390xx-dkms in the Artix Repository, that driver also worked with bumblebee but it gave me poor performance, so I decided to use nvidia-xrun instead (the arch wiki and forum also says bumblebee gives lower performance). Thanks anyways.
