Yes, I will give a reference below but first this:There are at least 2 kinds of hybrid graphics laptops1) Intel CPU (including Intel discrete graphics chip) & Nvidia GPU2) Intel CPU (including Intel discrete graphics chip) & AMD GPUWhat works for 1) need not work for 2) and vice versa with respectto configuration and switching. With respect to 1) the code words were 'optimus', 'switcheroo'and more recently 'prime'.With respect to 2) the code word I know is 'dynamic switchable graphics'and how this works under Linux I have no idea.Furthermore AMD used to have a closed source driver (I think theystill have, was almost impossible to install under Linux) and themore recent opensource 'amdgpu' driver that as far as I knowworks with all the latest AMD GPU's. So read up a little on this so you won't be confused by advicethat might only apply to the 1) situation!A reference for switcheroo is:https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/but as far as I know this only applies to the 1) situation > Have a look at this url: > > https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Dynamic-Switchable-Graphics-vs-Nvidia-Optimus.64378.0.html > > > > It is rather old info but might give you an indication of where > > > > the problem lies. > > > > AV
