I just installed Debian unstable on my new MSI P65 Laptop, which has both an Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Coffeelake 3x8 GT2) integrated on the i7-8750H, and a dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile. I installed nvidia drivers, but it seems that the laptop is always working on the integrated graphics: I tried to connect a 2nd screen by HDMI and it is not detected.
When I show information about the system in Gnome, the listed graphic card is the UHD one. I can't even run nvidia-settings as it returns with the error message "ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system". I finally succeeded by installing bumblebee and running nvidia-settings through optirun, but I couldn't see my 2nd screen nor find any option to switch between the two cards.
Does anyone have any idea how I can switch to the dedicated GPU so that I can use my second screen ?
