I recently installed TW and am am encountering some issues with the iGPU during bootup. I have already gone through the steps to install the nvidia driver using the SDB walkthroughsand have enabled both prime-select and bumblebee as well. Based on what I understand nvidia with Optimus is that the video is passed through the iGPU and so I’m hoping if I can resolve my current issue with that video driver, it will help clear everything else up for me.
I’ve captured as much information as I could think of below.
My current issue that I’m trying to resolve is:
- External HDMI displays fail to work. Laptop detects the cable being connected, but I’m unable to get the monitor to display.
- Random screen flashing (refresh?) happens when using the laptop monitor. This happens about every 3-5 minutes.
- Unsure what the BFPT error is, but maybe that would get flushed out as well?
Current GPU information.
