Bug Description
I have a laptop computer with hybrid graphics : 'Intel Onboard IGD' and 'Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile'.
The 'Intel Onboard IGD' correctly manages the onboard monitor with resolution 1920 x 1080.
But I need the Nvidia card to manage an external monitor with resolution 4K2K connected to DisplayPort.
At the beginning, the 'nouveau' module of the Linux kernel seems to be correctly loaded :
$ lsmod | grep '^nouveau'
nouveau 1601536 0
But XORG does NOT load its 'nouveau' module. So, I force it with following file :
$ cat /usr/share/
Section "Module"
Load "nouveau"
EndSection
In the attached 'Xorg-with-
- Lines 58-59 : XORG correctly finds both Intel and Nvidia graphics hardware.
- Lines 61-66 : XORG loads its 'nouveau' module.
- Lines 94-108 : The list of the Nvidia chipsets known by the 'nouveau' module does NOT contain 'GTX 1050'. Is this meaningful ?
- Line 123 : Message ending with 'cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support'.
- Lines 124-226 : The 'modesetting' module of XORG (perhaps with the help of the 'glamoregl' submodule) correctly reports the 4 available graphics outputs, in particular 'eDP-1' connected to the onboard monitor.
- Lines 233-234 : XORG unloads its 'nouveau' module, which has NOT reported any graphics hardware or outputs
If necessary, I am able to test :
- the latest version of the 'xserver-
- the latest upstream kernel from http://
Finally, I wonder where this issue has to be solved :
- inside configuration files in '/usr/share/
- inside the 'xserver-
- inside the 'nouveau' module of the Linux kernel,
- inside the 'kernel arbiter'.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I would like that 'xrandr' also displays 'nouveau' as provider.
