The link suggested that oems went to multiplexed gpus to save money. If hardware muxing costs $10 per laptop, and they sell 100,000 laptops, they save a million dollars. But, it might only cost a few cents to put a hardware jumper on the motherboard that can be set to one or the other as primary. With their superior knowledge of the system, they might be able to point you to that. It was a long shot, and you are probably correct that there is no way to do this in the hardware. That would have nothing to do with windows or linux, hardware only. > > I was going to suggest building a kernel without the intel driver > > Ok before I about compiling my own kernel I would like to inform you > about what I have done so far. > > So I have followed the instructions of : > > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics As Samuel pointed out, those instructions don't apply to your situation. The link I sent provided a non switcheroo workaround under X, if your two gpu devices met requirements. I take it that those instructions were either too complex for you to follow, appeared too risky to follow, or were under X and you only want this to work under wayland. A low risk command from those instructions to see your hardware under xrandr. Can be run as normal user. xrandr --listproviders I see you have received a lot of help from others, probably better help than I could give, so I am going to stop here. But thanks for the information, I like the learning. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
