Hybrid NVidia/AMD Graphics (Wayland Support?)

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I’ve got the NVidia opensource driver + userspace working (games can be accelerated with the 4060 mobile, at least according to nvtop). However, I can’t login with wayland, only xorg. Is this possible using the nvidia (open) drivers? I really would prefer to be using wayland since the screen tearing is really bad on xorg.

Thanks!

I updated (sudo zypper dup) and all of a sudden Wayland works. Not sure why that would matter since this is a clean install, but I guess it was a transient issue with that specific snapshot.

Good to know it is working for you. Which desktop environment are you using? It might be helpful to others to show your current working graphical environment details…
