So I just got around to testing this patch and so far, not very promising. Right now I can't comment on if the bug in question was resolved but this just introduced some new critical bugs for me. I first tried this on my bare metal system w/ my RX 480 and it boots into lightdm just fine. As soon as I log in and start up XFCE however, one of my two monitors goes black (monitor reports being asleep) but my cursor seems to drift into the other monitor just fine. So after that, I check the display settings and both monitors are detected. So I tried re-enabling the off monitor and then both monitors work fine. After that, another bug: I now have two cursors, one only works on my right monitor and the other only stays in one position. At this point, I recompiled and remade the initramfs, and sure enough, same issues. This time, however, changing the display settings didn't "fix" the issue with one monitor being blank; the off monitor activated, but the previously working one just froze. I also tried this on my VM passing through my GPU w/ vfio-pci; similar issues. Lightdm worked fine but when I started KDE Plasma, it started flashing white and one of my monitors just became blank. This time, I couldn't enable the blank display from the settings, it just didn't show up. Xrandr only showed one output as well; switching HDMI outputs still only lets me use the monitor on the "working" HDMI port. I don't exactly know how I would go about debugging this since there's just too many bugs to count. I also don't know if it would be worth it at all. Do you have any idea why this would occur? This patch only seems to force synchronisation, I don't quite know why it would break my system so much. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
