Nvidia laptop - External monitor not working when prime power saving mode enabled

  • 772

I have the following laptop.

System info

I am trying to use an external monitor with Nvidia Prime settings set to power save

enter image description here

But it works only in performance mode.

I have tried to follow this answer but doesn't work for me.

it's possible to use it this way? or there is a way to use the performance mode but reduce the battery usage? my battery last 3x more using power saving.

I am using lightdm

EDIT: for now, i'm using an gnome extension to fast switch PRIME profile and rebooting, but would be great if it works...
