PRIME output mode; Discreet NVIDIA GPU 396.54

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

I used to use PRIME output mode for dedicated GPU graphics with NVIDIA, but with the latest updates in Tumbleweed with the following versions below I am now unable to get it working. Maybe there is something different in X 1.20 or xrandr 1.5. Maybe someone can shed some light on this so I can get it right with the new software. TIA

Note: PRIME offload works just fine, I just want the dedicated GPU ability since it gives better performance.

This is all that was required before the xorg and xrandr version changes.
