KOriginally it was used to run Steam on the desktop builds, now it's unused by us but we maintain it for other distros
KStill very useful on a stock copy of silverblue for instance
RBooting into Game Mode Steam?
KNo, it's only useful for the desktop
KGame mode can't function in a distrobox
LHello All, I need help please :
I have a GPD WIN 4 7840 and a dock with RTX Nvidia 4070
The HDMI from my TV is on the RTX
When I try to play on TV, I have both screens but when I try to launch a game (Like PES 2021) the system detect only the 780M (Internal GPU)
How to choose the EGPU on primary when the GDP is docked ?

KI know with an AMD card you could use
DRI_PRIME=In terminal, type
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep rendererDRI_PRIME=0 glxinfo | grep rendererSee if they give different results or not
KAre you using a -deck build?
LWhat did you mean with deck build ?
KWe ship switcheroo which should use your dGPU automatically, no need for prime
KDo you have game mode?
KI get to start dealing with new eGPU issues later today, my 7600m is showing up from Amazon.
KIt boots to steam big picture?
Lyes on the GPD and when I switch to Desktop I see my TV with the RTX HDMI
KNo deck build ships with Nvidia proprietary drivers at this time
KSo you're using nouveau with nvk
KSo it's probably using Nouveau in desktop. You should just be able to rebase
KWhich is very, very early Software
KThen they lose game mode
KAnd HHD
KOhhh snap yeah its a GPD
Kmy bad
KThe simple fact is: we do not support Nvidia dGPUs on handhelds
KSorry
Lyes GPD not Steamdeck
KToo much wrong with them
Lso this is not possible to work ?
KCorrect
KAn AMD one would be fine
KNot in any simple way at least (you could probably do insanity with VFIO, but...)
KI wouldn't want to do it on a eGPU w/ handheld.
LOn Windows it work very good
Lbut SteamOS is better for Gaming
KNvidia's proprietary drivers do not support game mode, they've had years to fix this
KUnfortunately it's on them
KNothing we can do
KNvidia often has issues on Linux, because only Nvidia can do anything to fix problems.
Kand they don't.
Lok so the problem is Nvidia not the oculink ;D
Mtime to put steamos on my nvidia rig and make a clickbait YouTube video about steamos supporting nvidia now
KYes. Nvidia would work on a desktop image, but you'd lose game mode.
Kand on a handheld you probably don't want that.
Lok so It can work
If I understand, when Im on my TV I can launch game with Oculink and RTX but not in game mode ?

KDesktop images don't have game mode or HHD
Lin Handled it doesnt matter because I never play on Handled with oculink
KSo you won't have any game mode at all, and the input on your handheld won't work properly
KNo, there's two sets of images. One for desktop and one for handheld ( bazzite-deck images)
Kwhat Kyle said yea
