okay, then dont worry about this.
chceck the xorg log it should be in /var/log/Xorg..log.
also check if both the nvidia and intel drivers are loaded correctly.

Did that, no change.


try to switch to the nvidia gpu
"optimus-manager --switch nvidia"
then start X, if it doesn't work, try to switch to the integrated GPU
"optimus-manager --switch integrated" and then start X




I do not have optimus-manager installed:
$ optimus-manager --switch nvidia
bash: optimus-manager: command not found

Gentoo is a main machine; Windows is running in VirtualBox on Gentoo Host.

So the package "app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions"
I think it installs some additional enhancement in Windows VM.

No, I stared Windows VM and installed virtualbox-guest-additions in there; it 
installed OK
The the error message I was getting
"VboxClient: the virtualbox kernel service is not running.  Exiting"

was when I log into XFCE desktop, the above masses just pop-up for about 4-sec. 
and it dissipated.
Where were no errors starting Windows-VM, it is just annoying message pop-up; 
never seen it before.

Can you please be more explicit about what you do and what you see?   
How exactly do you start xorg?  When you say you see nothing, do you  
mean a completely black screen?  If that's the case, then why do you  
say that Sorg and dwm properly start.  If they properly started, you  
would probably see what you expected.  Finally, when you say you can't  
see the x server, what is it you expect to see?  I don't think the  
xserver displays anything of it's own, it displays stuff for other  
programs.  Have you looked in the X log for any relevant output?   
(probably /var/log/Xorg.0.log.)

It's an acer nitro 5. I don't see any option to do that in bios.



so, i did a bit of diging, and i found that Acer bios does not have
the option to disable the iGPU in the bios, but it does support Nvidia
Optimus. you could try to configure that, but just an FYI, it is
proprietary.

Thanks, I will try that.

here, i think you could try the flatpak version of steam.

That needs wireplumber, which needs udev, and I don't want to install 
udev or anything else related to systemd.

The drivers seems to be loaded.

  lsmod | grep vbox

vboxnetadp 28672  0

Is this a vbox upgrade or a kernel upgrade? If it's a kernel upgrade, I 
always force a re-emerge of the modules.

Pretty stupid question, but is the notification on the host system (the
system running the vm) or in the OS running on the VM?

one more idea, you could try to disable your integrated gpu in your
bios, and then boot only using the Nvidia GPU, just an idea,
but if you send your laptop model, i can provide more straight-forward
instructions for this process

if it is not officially supported you may need to go to Steam (top

if you do not own it on steam, try this

There is a problem with that.
I have a desktop and a laptop running gentoo.
On the desktop, I have no-multilib and wine's wow64 mode doesn't 
properly work.
On the laptop, I have multilib and steam, but proton and wine seem to 
not be able to handle switching between the integrated gpu and the 
dedicated gpu.
And I also cannot start xorg on the dedicated gpu and skip the 
integrated gpu.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7331

I eventually played the game on a windows laptop.
Will probably do the same once the game gets finally finished.
Sad that this is how it still is on linux, but it is what it is.
Maybe one day, I won't even have to look up if a game is linux native or 
through proton.
