Hi,
would like to try, but "vgaswitcheroo" seems to be ubuntu, can not find this in
F22 directory in /.../debug
If possible I would like to switch to Nvidia chip without using an second external screen
but using the Nouveau driver,
to test this Geeqie problem.
Is there a similar "tool" in F22 as switcheroo in Ubuntu?
Kind Regards

It is indeed
Optimus. Out of the box, Fedora doesn't support switching
as Windows does.
There are some experimental support for this
but it's not very
active. So, failing
that, you can switch in the BIOS setup
screen. In my case,
since I'm
using an external monitor, I needed to set it to
Nvidia,
because the
Intel GPU is only attached to the laptop's built-in
screen.
My experience is that since the inclusion of PRIME gpu offloading
the
nouveau driver seems to handle power management and switching
adequately by
itself, at least on older Nvidia Optimus chips.
And you can get relevant info
on the state through:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
And turn
on/off the gpu driving the output by
# echo ON/OFF >
/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
Connect the graphics connectors with:
# echo IGD/DIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
