Hello !

On a laptop with dual GPU, I'm able to disable nvdia, following instructions 
under [1], though I'm thinking that was not necessary, since I'm using early 
kms with intel [2]:

% grep i915 /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES=(i915)

And I don't use the xf86-video-* Xorg drivers, since I prefer the glamor Xorg 
ones:

[    94.997] (II) modeset(0): glamor X acceleration enabled on Mesa Intel(R) 
UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2)

Now, I noticed grub is actually using the nvdia gpu, because it doesn't support specifying 
GRUB_GFXMODE to "auto", neither "1920x1080x32", well, it doesn't complain, but 
the resolution I get for any is terrible, and when I disable the framebuffer [3]:

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console

I do get the right resolution, though I totally lose my background image, which 
is sad.

But it's not only aesthetics, it seems, at times, when loading the initrd image 
on boot, the system freezes, and there's no alternative than a hard boot, which 
might be related.

If you're wondering, this is a HP zbook 15 g6.

Thanks !
