Like at line 600 in rime-select.sh

                echo "use it with \"prime-select offload\""

    ;;

Look like trying to support AMD but not really work. I think it is a bug. Not on openSUSE these days. I am just reading codes and find this. I do that because I am thinking switch back to openSUSE since leap 15.4 has come out but I am not sure it has enough support for my new Amd+Nvidia device. Thanks

Note to myself. This is a follow-up to issue #80

What's wrong with these lines around line 600? Could you explain in more details, please? I've seen reports modeset(amd)/nvidia working in offload mode. That's standard setting for offload mode on AMD/NVIDIA hardware and you can't change it by using offload-set mode, that's true.

CicadaSeventeen commented 2 years ago

Looking at lines I copy here. Where $2 can only be intel or intel2, otherwise it cannot pass case at line 607. But above there is a judgement about whether $2 isamd at line 596. If you attend to refuse using prime-select offload-set amd, then if [ "$2" = "amd" ];then is meaningless. So I think here is something wrong.

Ok. I see what you mean. The check about intel or intel2 is correct. The combination amdgpu/nvidia has not been implemented for offload mode, so a check for the xf86-video-amdgpu package is not needed there.

Fixed this now and made a new release 0.8.8.
