I have installed gentoo on an Aces aspire laptop, which has builtin intel video card 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c) and Nvidia video card 0000:01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 2050] (rev a1) with kernel 6.6.58-gentoo and nvidia drivers 550.127.05-r1 (other version do not work either). The laptop has no BIOS option to switch the video cards. Nouveau drivers do not support the nvidia card.

When that is selected in the xorg.conf (uncommenting the above and selection Device "nvidia" in Section Screen, the X server runs, without reporting an error, but I get a black screen (and no signal on HDMI). Additionally, when running through the intel card, and trying to run selectively something on nvidia e.g. 'prime-run glxgears' that runs but the window is black-empty. If I disable all I915 options in the kernel, X also runs without errors, but with a black screen. So I suspect that somehow the output of the Nvidia card does not pass through whatever internal switch to get to the screen and have no idea how to solve this. Any help? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure xorg.conf to use nvidia card 2.start X server 3. Actual Results: running X server, but black screen and no HDMI signal Expected Results: video output on the screen from the running X server and Nvidia card Portage 3.0.66.1 (python 3.12.7-final-0,
