No, I only have a GeForce GTX 660. I'm running the nVidia drivers
packaged by
rpmfusion. Neither nvidia-settings or switcherooctl work in wayland.
If you have no internal GPU then the Nvidia has to be the default, so
nvidia-settings mustn't be working for some other reason. Does it work
if you log in with X11?
Another question: is Xwayland running when you use Handbrake, or does
it run directly on Wayland?
More research needed.
