Only integrated AMD GPU works on laptop with hybrid AMD / Nvidia GPUs

[Julien Olivier]

I have a laptop with both AMD Raven and Nvidia GTX 1050 video adapters. After installing the nvidia-driver-440 package through Ubuntu's additional drivers" tool, only the AMD GPU could be used.

To fix this, I had to add “Option “PrimaryGPU” “Yes”” to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
