OK, will try to check tomorrow with a friend that has an Optimus laptop.

Perfect, thanks in advance.

To trigger the event one has to echo into a sysfs file... Don't recall
exactly, some of the following should be it.
a) If the nvidia module is driving an fbcon:
   - echo "0" > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtconX/bind
b) and/or a combination of the following
   - echo "remove" (or was it "unbind") > /sys/class/drm/cardX/device/uevent
   - echo "remove" (or was it "unbind") >
/sys/class/drm/cardX/device/driver/uevent
   - echo "1" > /sys/class/drm/cardX/device/driver/unbind

2) If the driver is loaded before X, it works for PRIME. However, the
card refuse to unbind because it’s in use by X even if nothing is
actually running on it.

It just works here so I suspect that a command or the order was off.

My setup:
- Intel/Nvidia system, monitor plugged/powered by Intel GPU
- Therefore fb0 is for Intel (alongside card0) and Nvidia does not
have fb device only card1.

Same on the laptop of my friend.

What I've done:
- Toggle render offload ON via xrandr, try glxgears
- Toggle render offload OFF via xrandr

Not sure how I’m supposed to do that, didn’t find any reference online.

- Issue the removal - echo "remove" > /sys/class/drm/card1/uevent
This segfaults Xorg right away.
- Confirm that it works - Xorg.0.log should list "removing GPU device
...blabla/card1"

It does appear, with the segfault:

Maybe I missed a fb? Not sure…

I might try again tomorrow but really not sure, I have a plane to catch and my friend might not be available early enough.
