Please do the manual configuration described in the wiki as you're using CTWM
I had done that (but such a long time ago) I'll go re-read it and make sure something hasn't gibbed it. Thanks...
Le record scratch wiki is blank..."Manual set up" is only listed in features which takes you to the FAQ, which says to do the thing I already have in my .xinitrc. To which I'd say I'm not reporting the "black screen" which is what you get if you haven't done the manual setup.
I've had this in .xinitrc for years. if [[ $(envycontrol --query) == "nvidia" ]] ; then xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0 xrandr --auto fi
As an addendum I uninstalled envycontrol and reinstalled it in an attempt to "clean things up." Envycontrol indeed then reported it is in hybrid mode despite the requested mode being nvidia. So it's also not reporting the mode accurately.
I again request nvidia, it says everything was changed and to reboot. I reboot and envycontrol now again says it's nvidia but nothing has changed and my screen is shown as prime offload still, cursor is offset to the Intel "CRT" screen.
Describe the bug If I switch to nvidia envycontrol -q says it's set to nvidia but everything seems like it's in hybrid mode.
If I launch nvidia-settings it still shows the intel GPU running a "CRT" screen (WTH?) which is the wrong screen size and most software launched is confined to the wrong dimensions of the Intel phantom CRT screen. The nVidia connected screen shows as a "Prime" screen like in an offload "hybrid" config.
Testing something like glxgears and glxinfo says it's nvidia but if I launch anything that actually uses 3D acceleration it's a slide show when it should run like an over fueled rocket. Occasionally applications will also launch on the "hidden" overlayed Intel screen. To correct the wrong screen dimensions and off screen rendering I always have to disable the "CRT" screen in the nvidia settings every boot now.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
Expected behavior Single Screen connected to only the nVidia chip like it used too (yes I know it's technically pass through)
Screenshots Upon request if it matters.
