Turn off Intel graphics settings on your MacBook Pro.
Turn off Intel graphics settings on your MacBook Pro.
Hi, I understand your situation. You can disable Intel graphics on your MacBook Pro by using Terminal commands. First, open Terminal and run:
```
systemctl stop graphics
```
Then edit the `/etc/systemd/system/diagdm.service` file to remove the Intel entry from the graphics service. After saving, restart the service:
```
sudo systemctl restart diagdm
```
This will switch to Radeon Pro 560x. If you still notice lag, you can check the GPU settings in System Preferences > Displays and ensure it’s set to your Radeon model.
The built-in screen is likely connected to the onboard graphics. Generally, this works well for most devices that have both integrated and dedicated GPUs, except a few cases. Therefore, it's safe to assume disabling the integrated GPU will remove the internal display.
