DGPU waking on video any playback
On Debian Trixie with Intel + RTX 4070 hybrid laptop.
I want NVIDIA GPU fully idle during video playback.
But nvidia-smi shows:
- process:
/usr/bin/gjs - ~136MB GPU memory used
- ~18W power draw even when idle
Intel iGPU is active (confirmed via glxinfo), and video decoding is on Intel VAAPI.
How do I stop gjs from probing the nvidia gpu
