            Bug ID: 94826
           Summary: Cannot set external display as primary in optimus mode
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
          Assignee: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pkolaczk at gmail.com
        QA Contact: xorg-team at lists.x.org

I have a Dell M4600 laptop with an external display attached to display port.
DP is wired to nvidia chip in this laptop.

With optimus disabled in bios setup, both displays work fine using Nvidia chip
and the external screen can be marked as primary and behaves as primary.
Unfortunately in this mode, 2D performance is quite bad, to the point it is
hardly usable. I guess this is due to power management problems that I know are
being worked on, but please confirm yo know about it and I don't need to file a
separate bug for this.

After enabling optimus in bios, both displays work fine using Intel chip, the
DP connection is detected properly and nvidia chip powers up to enable DP. 2D
performance is smooth and usable. However, setting the external display as
primary is not possible with xrandr:
