This might be a side effect of https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Optimus#External%20Monitors%20detection Can you confirm that using PrimaryGPU as documented works for you (and please close the bug if relevant)
Thanks, using primary GPU sorts it out. The documentation is unclear though, I feel like the section says "before full Optimus support" so I ignored it. I was on that page before opening the bug. Where can I contribute changes to that? I'd also argue it's still a bug, it doesn't work out of the box. Do you know where the work to make this seamless will come from?
I've reworded the wiki on this topic. Do you see anything to improve ? You can forward the request for enhancement to nvidia using the devtalk. Here an existing topic https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1072074/linux/nvidia-driver-doesn-t-use-primarygpu-option/
Closing since this issue is not relevant for here.
What originally confused me was the discussion about "Previous behaviour", which implied that was an old section, when really it is still relevant. Your updates make it much more clear, thank you. I would recommend removing the sentence: "To recover this previous behaviour, you can use:", maybe put something like "To enable the PrimaryGPU option, you can use:" FYI, there seems to be a bug in the PRIME Sync section, it says this: "It should be enabled bytThen you can enable Prime Synchronisation for your session:"
FYI, have raised a new topic here to see if anyone from nvidia can help: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1072101/linux/optimus-and-external-displays-external-outputs-on-nvidia-gpu/
