[Bug 1778011] Re: SRU: PRIME Power Saving mode draws too much power
Is there a way to test this patch with the 418 driver? I have an RTX 2070, which is not supported by the 390 driver, but I'd really like my battery life back.

[Bug 1778011] Re: SRU: PRIME Power Saving mode draws too much power
After seeing Alex's post, I tried installing 410.104-0ubuntu0~18.10.1 from ppa:graphics-drivers. Using 4.18.0-16-generic kernel. I find that when I use Intel profile, powertop reports the nvidia card as 0% active, and the setting in Tunables shows up as Good. However, /proc/acpi/bbswitch reports as :01:00.0 ON, and the *fans* are spinning.

[Bug 1778011] Re: SRU: PRIME Power Saving mode draws too much power
@Alberto I'm afraid I have to add to the pile of users reporting issues here. Kernel 4.20.14 with 418.43 drivers. Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, on an X1 Extreme. Using both GDM3 and lightdm, "prime-switch intel" doesn't seem to power off the nvidia GPU. power seems to go between 25-35W on battery. Using powertop to set the Nvidia GPU to `Good` doesn't seem to help (100% usage in Device stats). Attached are gpu-manager.log and gpu-manager-switch.log (while in prime- select intel mode). I'm not using bbswitch. I've rebooted a few times while in intel mode to see if that would take. No die.

@Chris, Thanks for your reply. I know, my point is a bit different. If I set the bios to discrete only, I get an HDMI signal.

@Fernando: we don't support hybrid graphics without using a display manager, as that would prevent gpu-manager from running at the right time. @Michael: I can only assume there was some failure somewhere when setting the power state of the NVIDIA GPU (the dmesg output might help).
