Describe your issue / feature…
Hyprland issues a warning saying that I’m using an Nvidia GPU in a laptop with hybrid graphics, but I am confident it is not.
In hyprland.conf I set
env = AQ_DRM_DEVICES,/dev/dri/intel-igpu
where /dev/dri/intel-igpu is set by the following udev rule
KERNEL=="card*", \
KERNELS=="0000:00:02.0", \
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", \
SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", \
SYMLINK+="dri/intel-igpu"
checking nvidia-smi shows no process running on the dGPU, and querying the power state of the GPUs gives me
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/power_state
D3cold
D0
However, in the logs, Hyprland always shows the following warning

WARN ]: Warning: you're using an NVIDIA GPU. Make sure you follow the instructions on the wiki if anything is amiss.
Perhaps it could be related, but Hyprland isn’t able to detected an external monitor connected via HDMI.
Running Windows on the same laptop, I noticed that the external monitor does not work if the dGPU is disabled in the BIOS, which means it’s probably connected directly to the GPU.
In my mind this is consistent: Hyprland cannot detect an external monitor because I haven’t told it to use the dGPU, which is connected to the HDMI port.
However, I am able to use prime-run to get something running on the dGPU, as intended, e.g.
prime-run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 146 ()
Minor opcode of failed request: 5
Resource id in failed request: 0x600003
Serial number of failed request: 55
Current serial number in output stream: 56
I have two questions I would like to ask you:
- Why is this warning here and is it safe to ignore it?
- Would a USB-C to HDMI adapter allow me to use an external monitor?
