Manjaro KDE: switch to nvidia and then see blacksreen about optimus-manager HOT 5 CLOSED

Could this be related to?

• #115

What happens if you follow the same procedure that is explained on that case? - : set switching=none and pci_power_control=yes. To switch GPUs, use --set-startup+ reboot instead of--switch`.

That is for testing to check out if switching=bbswitch isn't playing a role here. There is also some valuable information at the power management session of our wiki.

Also, keep using the optimus-manager-git since it bundles the last merged PRs from this repo :)

Edit: sorry, misclicked "Comment and Close" instead of just "Comment" here. My bad.

Thank you for your response. I tried your suggested solution, but it didn't improve the situation. Before this upgrade, everything was working fine. I will continue using optimus-manager-git in hopes that future updates will resolve the issue. Additionally, would you like me to provide any relevant logs or debugging information to help the team address these types of problems?

What I do in these situations is to try different configurations till I know exactly which component or setting is failing.

For example, you can try:

1. What happens if you use a different driver like nvidia-open or the nvidia proprietary one?

2. And if you edit optimus-manager.conf to only have:

# This is the user configuration file for optimus-manager.
# The default configuration file is at /usr/share/optimus-manager.conf.
# Any option specified in this file will override the default configuration.
# When overriding an option, remember to include the corresponding section header.

[optimus]
startup_mode=nvidia

Then progressively add your original settings back.

Keep discarding options till you know which one specifically is causing the issue. Then come back, reopen this report, let us know what you have discovered, and we can look into the code.

If it helps I'm using also Manjaro KDE Plasma on GeForce 1650 and I'm not affected. I'm using nvidia-open with the conf above.

I think I can now provide some useful information:
Previously, when I was testing, I only used the laptop's built-in screen. Now I've connected an external monitor and obtained the following results:

The external monitor and built-in display work well in hybrid mode.
Problems occurred when switching to NVIDIA-only mode: the external monitor works normally, but the built-in display goes black. Additionally, the Optimus Manager log shows "xrandr is not working properly". Then, I tried to enable the built-in screen directly through the command line using 'xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --auto', but received an error: 'xrandr: Configure crtc 4 failed'. So I believe the problem is with xrandr and not related to Optimus. I apologize for raising an unrelated issue with you.

Thank you very much for your responses!
