I am running Arch Linux with the i3 window manager. Today I switched from
lightdm to xorg-xinit. I have read the available documentation, and
configured things so that startx will start and run the X server, and i3wm
runs fine after that. However, I have one very important problem that I
cannot find an answer to.
I have a Nvidia GPU with proprietary drivers installed, and I have created
a file named 10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf in the
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory. The contents of that conf file are
as follows:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "nvidia"
MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
Option "Coolbits" "28"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
An important line in that file is the Option "Coolbits" "28" line, as it
allows me to set a custom fan speed for my GPU, which I need for these
warmer months.
When I use startx that conf file is not being read, it seems. It is
completely ignored, and I am unable to set a custom fan speed.
Is there a conf file for xinit that I can use, create, or configure that
will access the 10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf file, so that the GPU will
run cooler via a custom fan speed?
When using lightdm, it works like a charm. But as I say, xinit seems to
not see/read/access that file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
