 |
|
First i have two cards one vegas 10 and radeon 540rx.
Radeon 540rx:
| Code: | 01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa [Radeon 540X/550X/630 / RX 640 / E9171 MCM] (rev c3)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Lexa [Radeon 540X/550X/630 / RX 640 / E9171 MCM]
Kernel driver in use: amdgpu |
Vegas 10:
| Code: | 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso (rev c1)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Picasso
Kernel driver in use: amdgpu |
So i looked in AMDGPU and read about vgaswitch so i used the steps and activeted the vga switch option in the kernel
| Code: | | cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch |
and it show me:
| Code: | 0:DIS: :DynOff:0000:01:00.0
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:05:00.0
2:IGD-Audio: :DynOff:0000:05:00.1 |
and i continue to used the next step:
| Code: | | echo "ON" > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch |
And nothing changes.
when i in root and the xorg is off and use only:
| Code: | | echo "DIS" > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch |
appears a black screen (might be because the card is off)
obs: i noticed when i run mirrors edge in steam it uses my second card but when i run CS GO it no use.
Can someone please for god sakes help me? |

What is your goal with vgaswitch?
To have a dual monitor desktop?
