Nothing in your original logs seems wrong to me. Perhaps you never configured offloading properly? (Sometimes the desktop manager will do it for you, depends on ... the desktop manager, version, and, I'm sure, its configuration.) See <a href="https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/">https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/</a> specifically the bit about "using outputs on discrete gpu".</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
