Nvidia-settings issue

[dainelli]

Hello everybody,

I have recently installed openSUSE Leap 15.2 on my laptop (MSI GF75 THIN 9SC) and I cannot access Nvidia X Server Settings. I’ve installed the G05 driver (since my laptop runs on a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650) through YAST. Although it seems to be running, when I run

glxinfo | grep “OpenGL renderer”
it shows
No protocol specified
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (Coffeelake 3x8 GT2)
.

What am I doing wrong? How can I enable the settings?

Thanks in advance

Specs:
CPU: Intel i7-9750H
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630

Hi and welcome to the Forum
Since it’s dual graphics, look at suse-prime (https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_SUSE_Prime) for switching from the intel to the nvidia gpu’s.

Thank you for your time and care.
By the way, is the Nvidia settings GUI only supposed to be available when its graphic card is turned on? Because I was used to using the GUI for the prime options. Not a deal breaker, but I’m trying to understand if it is fixed or I’m missing something.

Hi
Try running;

DRI_PRIME=1 nvidia-settings

Thanks a lot, you’ve helped me a lot. :)This worked. Besides, I can now open the GUI from the launcher. I believe it’s because I installed libXNVCtrl and libXNVCtrl0.

By the way, the suse-prime for intel places the Nvidia graphics card on a lower level of effort, but it’s still running. Is there any way to completely turn it off?

Hi
If you can’t disable in the BIOS I don’t think it’s possible. I don’t have this type of hardware (only dual AMD GPU laptop), maybe another Forum user with similar hardware can comment.
