Script to copy modeset-xorg.conf to 99-intel.conf not working #7

Closed valdotdev closed 4 years ago

valdotdev commented 4 years ago

Hi!

I'm using a Dell XPS15 7590 but unfortunately there's terrible screen tearing when I use the xf86-video-intel driver even with the tearing option on. I tried to use modesetting driver by manually creating a file in the xorg.conf.d directory instead and all is working well.

Then I noticed you could also do that via optimus-switch. Unfortunately after trying over and over, the file that is being copied is still the intel-xorg.conf file instead of modeset-xorg.conf.

So every time I want to switch to the iGPU I run sudo set-intel.sh then manually edit 99-intel.conf file.

This might be pretty minor but since I'm still learning linux and the various permissions I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks!

I'm an idiot. After examining the install script they were actually copied to the user/local/bin directory.

Sorry. Closing this issue.

Thanks!
