Hello, I wanted to write to let you know that I don't think package
'nvidia-xconfig' should be marked as 'deprecated' and also that
information about setting up Optimus Prime render offload in
https://wiki.debian.org/NVIDIA%20Optimus is accurate.
I have a laptop with an Nvidia P5200 and also an Intel graphics card,
and when the graphics mode is set to 'discreet' in the EFI settings, the
correct way to set up an external monitor via Prime render offload is
simply to:
sudo apt install nvidia-xconfig
sudo nvidia-xconfig --prime
and then reboot.
The output of the nvidia-xconfig states:
# Please run
# xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
# and
# xrandr --auto
# to enable.
The wiki page also states that it's necessary to run some xrandr commands.
However all that is actually necessary is to reboot.
Regards,
