Description
IMPORTANT BUG : LAPTOP + HDMI + 2 GRAPHIC CARDS = GAMES NOT WORKING
This is a wine bug, but afects also proton, and is must to be fixed, steam is not lauching too with the glxChooseVisual failed.
Tested in:
Skyrim
Age fo Empires2
THE BUG:
if you use the intel internal card, with hdmi of the laptop, no problems, games works.
BUT if you enable the NVIDIA card, restart linux in my case ubuntu 18.04 and try to run any steam game, the games dont start.

In age of empries:
a black screen.
With the intel card, they work perfect.
