 |
|
Hello. I recently bought a second monitor and want to connect it to my laptop (I have both nvidia and amdgpu, HP Victus 16-E0404NW 4J5R4EA laptop).
My problem is that i can't get both monitors to work(kinda). if i use nvidia on both monitors - only one monitor works, same for amdgpu.
If i use one nvidia and another amdgpu, they kinda work, but there is a problem. i can move the cursor to the second monitor, but the monitor is black and the cursor is crossed out.
Also, xrandr always sees only one connected monitor and one provider.
| Code: | $ xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 1
0: +*eDP 1920/355x1080/200+0+0 eDP |
If I use an external monitor, xrandr doesn't see eDP at all, if I use eDP, xrandr says the display port is disconnected

dmesg doesn`t show any errors.
so any advise how to fix it? i could provide more logs if needed.
edit: i did some research and realized that my laptop monitor is directly connected to the amdgpu and there is no connection between my laptop monitor and the nvidia gpu, so i can use the nvidia only as a screen device for the external monitor only and the amdgpu for the internal monitor.
also when i turn off the external monitor i see the proper providers
| Code: | $ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x54 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 2 associated providers: 1 name:AMD Radeon Graphics @ pci:0000:06:00.0
Provider 1: id: 0x1f6 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-G0 |
is it like dead look so i cant use both monitors at the same time? |
