Hello folks,
I have recently got a ThinkPad P14s which comes with a beefy i7-1260p, Intel integrated gpu, and a nvidia T550 as discrete card.
Since I installed the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers the laptop won’t sleep nor hibernate anymore. I googled around and it seems to be a common issue with optimus hybrid laptops, though none of the solutions I came across did work for me, and unfortunately the nvidia gpu cannot be turned off from the BIOS.
Uninstalling the nvidia driver will cause the fan to spin out of control and be stuck at maximum speed all the time.
Some context:
Distro: Gentoo
kernel: 6.1.19
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-525.116.03
Also tried driver version 525.105.17 and 530.41.03, none of which have solved the issue.

I tried flipping NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations from 0 to 1 but made no difference, just as NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x03 made any difference either.
Any idea as to how I can get the laptop to sleep and hibernate again? I am fine with turning off the nvidia gpu completely if that is an option and can solve the problem.
