Issue Description:

I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with brightness and display on my Fedora workstation. Sometimes, the brightness becomes very low, and I can’t fix it without rebooting the laptop. This issue also occurred on Ubuntu, and it happened twice recently.

Just a few minutes ago, my display went completely black, and I had to hold the power button to shut down and restart the laptop. Here are the relevant errors from the log:

nvidia 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes

...

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PEP.DETY], AE_NOT_FOUND (20240827/psargs-332)

...

ACPI Error: Aborting method _SB.WMID.WMAA due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20240827/psparse-529)

These issues don’t occur consistently, making it difficult to reproduce them. I can perform all tasks normally, including gaming, without encountering these problems most of the time.

If I cannot resolve this issue once and for all, I may revert to Windows 11. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    Do u use nvidia as main card, not as 3d accerelstion only for games? I personally use for all cases Intel graphics for everything and nvidia as accelerator with switcheroo-control to call nvidia rendering.DM to me don’t wanna spam in comments.

          What will this do? Kindly explain. I’m new to this.

          Also, the renderer seems to be the iGPU:

          ➤ glxinfo | grep “OpenGL renderer” OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon Graphics (radeonsi, gfx1103_r1, LLVM 19.1.5, DRM 3.59, 6.12.9-200.fc41.x86_64)
