AFAIK there's no support for Optimus graphics on *BSD unless either of the 2 can be kicked out through the BIOS. I'd give an attempt to disabling nouveau/nouveaufb on boot.

Disabling nouveau did not fix the issue, but was a good idea, thanks.

Maybe time for another thread but I am still researching a bit, but the W541 has this for Video:

  • Device-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
  • Device-2: NVIDIA GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M],

I think per: https://man.netbsd.org/nouveau.4 that should be supported. If I cannot find any more info I may create a PR for 10-BETA.
