 |
|
edit: bump with new headline
Hi @
My goal is to get my PC working with 2 video cards and 2 monitors.
But it seems that gentoo xorg has a faulty hardware output detection. So I ask here if anyone has a clue for me.
Here are the facts:

OS: Gentoo/Linux x86_64
Kernel: 5.4.96-gentoo
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.600GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 460/560D / Pro 450/455/460/555/555X/560/560X
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 550 640SP / RX 560/560X
Resolution: 3840x2160 LG Ultra HD (Display-0) , 1920x1080 Visio 230Ws (HDMI A-0)
DE: Plasma 5.20.5
WM: KWin

On a second harddisk suse Tumbleweed is installed. When I start Tumbleweed the configuration is automatically detected.
Neither in /etc/X11/ nor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.de/ is a configuration file.
The monitors and screens are automatically detected and associated with Card(0) or Card(1). I can swap the cables or use adapters,
everything works excelent and both graphic cards are in use.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log does not show any errors or warnings.
When I start gentoo without a xorg config, only one monitor and one screen is detected and assigned to the graphics card on PCI:a.
When I swap the cables or use adapters, the result is always the same. Only PCI:04 is used. (attach an Xorg.0.log)
So I made a minimalistic xorg.conf. When I create an xorg.conf-new in Suse or Gentoo with the command X -configure or Xorg -configure,
PCI:a is counted as PCI:10 in the configs. I have continued to work with PCI:10.
All input devices are automatically configured with elogind at bootlevel. Therefore, they are not included in xorg.conf.

After restarting gentoo with this xorg.conf I get the following values:
Xorg.0.log shows no relevant errors
| Quote: | $ grep -E 'WW|EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log #gentoo
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

But a proper initialization should look like this:

The monitors are also not recognized correctly:
Gentoo

Other controls look normal:

As I said, the result is a fully working screen on DisplayPort-0.
But the second screen is black and shows a big X mouse pointer. I can move the mouse between the screens.
When I start a application in Plasma, the bouncing application start icon appears on the black screen.
In plasma system settings "Display and monitor" there is only one screen.
This behaviour is the same for kernels of the 4 series.
In both operating systems I have installed radeon-profile. https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profile
This program shows a very interesting difference. In suse only one virtuel screen is displayed.
In gentoo there are two virtual screens. Here are two pictures to show the difference of the virtual monitors.
radeon-profile in suse https://ibb.co/S0V0Nbz
radeon-profile in gentoo https://ibb.co/0KHsHF1
When plasma is started after logging into sddm, the kde logo appears in the middle of the screen and again in the upper left fourth.
It seems that the second screen starts inside the first one.

When I use my xorg.conf in Suse, I get the same error messages as in Gentoo. This means that my xorg-conf is incomplete.
My research on the internet did not find any solutions for me. But I think this just proves my lack of expertise.
Here are some more complete files:

If you need further information please let me know.
I would appreciate for any advice on how to solve this problem.

Marlo,
There is a very old Wiki page.
Don't do the automatic thing. Its been broken for a long time. The xorg.conf should be good for a template for you though.
