After doing a clean install of LM 22.1 Cinnamon i've been hit with multiple video/graphics related issues:

The login screen doesnt send any video to my monitor, i can log in by typing the password and pressing enter but no video is being output during it.

After logging in Mint then proceeds to use my iGPU instead of my dGPU despite my Display Port cable being on the dGPU(and no, im not on a laptop)

These issues start after doing a clean install and then installing all of the needed updates.

#

Running [ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" ] prior to installing the updates shows that it is using my dGPU(an AMD RX6400) to display things

#

but doing the same thing after the updates it now shows that its trying to use my iGPU(Intel UHD 630) to render things

#

Running [ glxgears -info ] also shows that its using my iGPU

#

Here are some screenshots showing that Neofetch is able to detect my dGPU and another one showing that the iGPU is being used instead

#

I had been using Mint for a month prior to this without any issues but i decided to do a clean install since i had tinkered a bit too much

#

I also tried to do multiple clean install but the issue persists everytime, even dowloading the .iso again doesnt fix the issue

#

I even verified that the iso was a legit one following the instructions on the website

#

And here is glxgears showing that it is indeed using the iGPU

I've found out what was causing the issue, and update to the "libpciaccess" package made Xorg select the wrong GPU on startup, reverting it a version solves it

#

And i've also set for it to ignore said bugged version until the next one is out
