Bug#992685: x11-xserver-utils: xrandr does not list 2nd monitor connected via hdmi
Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.7+8
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bugreport@gehirnspen.de
Good morning!
I own a XMG Core 15 laptop and fail to connect to a monitor in addition to the
internal laptop display via HDMI.
harald@kalle:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
eDP connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
344mm x 194mm
1920x1080 120.04*+ 48.01
1680x1050 120.04
1280x1024 120.04
1440x900 120.04
1280x800 120.04
1280x720 120.04
1024x768 120.04
800x600 120.04
640x480 120.04
The laptop has an internal AMD graphic card and a dedicated Nvidia card:
harald@kalle:~$ lspci |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650
Ti Mobile] (rev a1)
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Renoir (rev c7)
xrandr for some reason does not recognize the internal GPU:
harald@kalle:~$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x54 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink

even though amdgpu is loaded:

I installed the appropriate drivers (amdgpu and nouveau). amdgpu driver is from
experimental, tried it with the driver from testing also, no difference:

No difference using the proprietary Nvidia driver, except for that another
provider is listed in xrandr --listproviders instead of modesetting.
The external monitor shows a copy of the internal display on boot until the
hard disk decryption key is entered. Then, signal stops.
I'd greatly appreciate any idea how to get xrandr recognize my monitor
connected via hdmi.
If you need more data or experiments, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Best regards!
Harald
