PC Drivers & Software

Hello everyone,

I want to use only the integrated graphics of the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H processor. It is a laptop with a dedicated graphics card from another vendor.

I currently have xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu-21.0.0-1.fc33.src.rpm drivers installed.

Please, can you provide me with information on how to use only AMD integrated graphics.

Below you will find the technical information of my system.

Thanks in advance.

By any chance have you looked in BIOS Setting and see if you can disable the Discrete GPU Card manually?

I not a Linux User but found this YouTube video that shows how to disable the Discrete GPU card in Fedora or any Linux OS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVJyrCFtFeE

Some other threads  mentions "Blacklisting" the GPU card to prevent it from being used.

Not sure if this Reddit Thread is of any help: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/luvigv/how_to_disable_nvidia_card_in_fedora_33/

In case you don't find the answer at this Forum try posting at a Fedora Forum like Fedora Project Org. website or Phoronix Forums.

Hi MVP,

Thank you for your input.

I have only two options to choose in BIOS: Switchable graphics or discrete. I have selected switchable.

I already test it disabling novuea and nvidia in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

The config file /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch do exists in Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) but doesn't exists in Fedora 33. Config files changes name and location along de Fedora development, so youtube video do not apply here. Sorry.

I tried to blacklist both nouveau and nvidia drivers in the grub config file and making a new grug config with grub2-mkconfig, but didn't work.

Linux line from boot:
linux rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.backlist=nouveau rd.driver.blacklist=nvidida modprobe.backlist=nvidida nvidida-drm.modeset=0

Also I uninstalled nouveau and nvidia drivers but for some reason nouveau kernel driver seems to be enabled even with no existence of the rpm package.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
