Polaris 15 Graphics switch does not work. #67

Open gampam2000 opened 3 years ago

gampam2000 commented 3 years ago

I have a TUXEDO_Polaris_15_AMD_Gen1 with AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. Original Tuxedo Ubuntu 20.04 with LUKS 5.6.0-1034-oem #36-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:22:26 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When I use the TCC Menu--> Graphics--> Select built-in it forces a reboot but nothing changes.

When running inxi -G i get with both configurations the same result: Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060] driver: nvidia v: 450.80.02 Device-2: AMD Renoir driver: amdgpu v: 5.6.0.20.20 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: amdgpu,ati,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~144Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce RTX 2060/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 450.80.02

The OpenGL renderer stays always GeForce RTX.

What exactly does this Menu option?

What I would like to configure is, that I normally use the AMD GPU and only for certain games to use the Nvidia with the invidia prime offloading option.

Hello, is this possibly related to #92 ?

For the moment the menu options are just shortcuts to prime-select nvidia/intel.

We do not support or test offloading consistently atm but it is known to work on at least most intel/nvidia combinations with manual configuration. As far as I know we are looking to provide a convenient way for offloading in the future.

To clarify, yes, in this case prime-select intel also means amd built-in ^^

I can confirme this bug.

inxi -G:
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060] driver: N/A 
  Device-2: AMD Renoir driver: amdgpu v: kernel 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 
  driver: amdgpu,ati,modesetting,nouveau,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,vesa 
  resolution: 1920x1080~144Hz 
  OpenGL: renderer: AMD RENOIR (DRM 3.40.0 5.10.0-1044-oem LLVM 12.0.0) 
  v: 4.6 Mesa 21.0.3

Sometimes it seems that the switching works, but often not. On Power-Top I have ~45-50W with AMDGPU and ~22W with NVIDIA GPU.

After swichting via tuxedo control center from ADMGPU to NVIDIA:

inxi -G:


  Device-1: NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060] driver: nvidia v: 470.57.02 
  Device-2: AMD Renoir driver: amdgpu v: kernel 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 
  driver: amdgpu,ati,modesetting,nouveau,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,vesa 
  resolution: 1920x1080~144Hz 
  OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060/PCIe/SSE2 
  v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 470.57.02```
