[andreineustroev]

I have laptop Acer Swift SFX16-52G with two Intel video devices.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:46a6] (rev 0c)

03:00.0 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation DG2 [Arc A370M] [8086:5693] (rev 05)

when I run Linux

Linux work 6.1.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 24 Jan 2023 21:07:04 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

only internal video works.

How I can use both?

Hello andreineustroev

Thank you for your patience. In regards to Hybrid Graphics on Linux, this will vary depending on the Linux Distro/Flavor that you use, so it will be always better to directly contact the specific distro support.

You could also try using the Prime Feature on Linux. In case you need additional support on this topic you could also post your questions in this GitHub forum.
