There is no option to disable the discrete intel GPU. ### Networking #### Wireless Support for the Killer 1550 is not there yet but is coming.

Multi gestures do not work out the box though, they are detected with [libinput-gestures](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libinput-gestures/). ## Troubleshooting ## Tips and Tricks ## Known Issues ### Lockup Issue (lspci and poweroff hang) **Symptoms**: * lspci hangs * poweroff hangs **Applies to**: Arch boot ISO and systems with nouveau or without nvidia driver installed. See [NVIDIA Optimus#Lockup issue (lspci hangs)](/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#Lockup_issue_.28lspci_hangs.29 "NVIDIA Optimus"). **Solutions**: * **Arch ISO:** Add `modprobe.blacklist=nouveau` to the kernel parameters ([https://superuser.com/a/1301487](https://superuser.com/a/1301487)). * **System without nouveau**: Install [nvidia](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=nvidia). ### Cheese Hangs While Opening Camera The issue can be fixed by installing [vlc](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=vlc) and running: ``` $ vlc v4l:// :v4l-vdev="/dev/video0" ``` Following this, cheese should work correctly. ### Wifi is hardblocked (airplane mode) after waking up from suspend Waking from suspend will have wifi in airplane mode.
