I have a laptop with Intel Integrated Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX aka “Optimus”. I have tried many combinations for my Optimus laptop but every try I try any thing I always get one of the 3 problems :-
- Black Screen after Boot (Doesn’t let me open terminal)
- Login Fail (Xorg error: Xorg doesn’t want to display anything, Wayland works)
- Doesn’t show display (Terminal works)
I have used this following references -
- https://community.clearlinux.org/t/has-anyone-successfully-installed-nvidia-driver-to-optimus-enabled-laptops
- Document for hybrid graphics (intel-nvidia) · Issue #1164 · clearlinux/distribution · GitHub
- Clear Linux fails to boot to graphical login on Optimus based laptop after installing Nvidia proprietary driver on latest builds · Issue #1622 · clearlinux/distribution · GitHub
- Bash scripts to automate installation of NVIDIA proprietary driver

I also tried multiple combinatio ns with awsome-clear-linux (github repo). But nothing seems to work.
