eGPU Issue on Pop-OS 22.04

@generix and all

Having an issue getting the eGPU to work properly.

Pop-os 22.04
nvidia 3060ti eGPU with Raser CoreX
Video is going in & out via TB3 USBC
Tried egpu-switcher and found that my screen would randomly freeze.
Removed egpu-switcher

Edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-egpu.conf

to look like this:

Section “OutputClass”
Identifier “nvidia-egpu”
MatchDriver “nvidia-drm”
Driver “nvidia”
Option “AllowExternalGpus” “True”
EndSection

Card now works, but many details are missing from nvidia settings

How do I fix this? Am I missing something in my file?

Unfortunately to get access to more settings, your X session must be run on the Nvidia eGPU directly (ie, you need a Device section pointing your Nvidia card by its PCIe bus ID, see an example on Debian eGPU wiki).

Okay - I’ll try modifying my xorg.conf file - thanks.

Didn’t work. However, I did a “refresh” using pop-os recovery partition and so far, so good. Maybe a broken install?
