No, muxess/mobile external gpu not supported

Is there a way to detect laptop dedicated GPU in PhoenixOS or Androidx86?

If you have 5-6 years old laptop with muxed gpu then there is some possibility to use discrete gpu in android.
If you have a modern laptop with muxless gpu then its impossible to use it in android. see below diagram. You will have to use your igpu for now.

Muxless GPUs don't have output and it connect to iGPU through a PCI link
Just like how you plug your GPU into the motherboard
If you don't plug your screen/hdmi into the discrete GPU but plug in mainboard it will use iGPU

Muxless is an absolute nightmare in both Linux and Windows. In Windows it takes tons of tweaking to get a lot of programs and games to recognize the discrete card. Even when it does recognize it, lots of features still don't work properly (like DX11/12 support in some game) On Linux, it is literally impossible to use the discrete card AT ALL, and even graphically weak games like Hedgewars won't run because the integrated card has issues with OpenGL.
Old kernel modesetting wont work (amdgpu.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0 or nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0) instead you get swift shader, with poor graphic if you try them.
I tried various things using a member in our discord server as a test subject (he has radeon 530 discrete gpu) but up to this day nothing worked. tried blacklisting i915, kernel modesetting, logcat,dmesg, debug mode and initrd.img patching, nothing works to get discrete GPU.These days only high end workstation profile laptops have muxed gpu instead of muxless. Or ancient laptops more than 5-6 years old can use discrete GPU in Android.
What if you managed to get discrete GPU working?
If you got dGPU to work then the result would be, you can play at high settings, high resolution with high fps, gallium hud would also work. Therefore come to our discord server, so that we can talk in real time and try various things to get your dGPU working, we maybe able to get your discrete gpu detected or not depending on the laptop, Must have muxed GPU,
You should provide Device details such as laptop model, cpu, gpu, year of manufacture.

Boot with Kernel mode setting, follow this method.
Go to C:/grub2/windata/customconfigs
Open the .cfg file with a text editor such as notepad.
In the line starting with linux of the grub code, add this kernel parameter after the word quiet, followed by a space.
i915.modeset=0 amdgpu.modeset=1

Thank you. I applied it rightway.
So how can I identify that working or not?

go to settings < About device
and check there

Android-x86 can't detect laptop gpu
Anyway nouveau is not stable, intel igpu better.

hi. sorry for bad english.
i have same problem.
my laptop is asus k501ux has 2 graphic. intell and nvidia
i installed phoenix os but phoenix os use intell for gpu
i want, phoenix use nvidia for gpu . how can i do it.
i dont know anything of coding. Please guide me step by step if possible thank you so much.
intel graphic model is : Intel® HD Graphics 520
nvidia graphic model is: Geforce Gtx 950m

Phoenix OS cant use laptop hybrid gpu as it was discussed above and your Intel GPU should be enough. However if you want to try then this should be added to kernel cmdline nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0

how can i add code to kernal cmdline?
how can i boot with kernal mode setting?
i dont know about programing and coding
i have win 10 on my system too.
can you please guide me step by step for edit kernal. thank you

Look in C:\grub2\windata\customconfigs for grub config and open it in notepad or some text editor
Then add kernel parameters to the line that starts with "linux"
