Friendly bump
If you have been continuing troubleshooting efforts recently, then keep very detailed records of everything you have tested as well as any related search information you have uncovered. If no one has posted any further advice regarding your issue, then post the detailed list of troubleshooting procedures you have recently performed. Also post any new info you have uncovered online since your last post, (be sure to post links).
This demonstrates that you are being proactive by continuing to research and troubleshoot on your own (even if others aren't currently offering suggestions). This goes a long ways to getting some good will towards yourself, as this shows initiative. This is actually a very important factor, because helpers on the forum are far more likely to respond to users who demonstrate they are not lazy and don't require being spoon fed every answer.
Posting a detailed synopsis rather than an empty bump (which most helpers find a turn off) shows forum helpers that you are self reliant. Empty bumps mostly tend to just get you a bad reputation and even less assistance on the forum. Our forum does not look favorably upon empty bumps.
Don’t be “that guy”.
Friendly advice:
Start a new topic. Not every case is the same. Post info about your system and relevant packages, settings and troubleshooting that you have already done.
Hi Filter/All
apologies, I’ve been caught up with work, work and more work unfortunately even though its the holiday season
I created the 10-render-offload.conf file and populated the contents as mentioned on the post.
i am running laptop screen, 1 display off HDMI (amdgpu) and 2 monitors off type-c dock (nvidia)
in my last research, something with the modesetting driver is causing the xorg to crash. since the issue is intermittent it’s been a challenge to troubleshoot.
no, the crash is way before KDE/GUI startup . I dont know the technical terminology for this, display manager perhaps? (sorry).
Ii land up on a screen that says something about zram (as usual) but does not proceed from there… I hit alt+f2 (i think) log in with credentials and check xorg logs to see the crash, log snippet posted previously. .
I’ll probably poke around on this in jan and update my observations. till then, I need stability to get work done.
@ntitta you're the man!!!! your configuration helped me to achieve what I was looking for, thanks! Funny thing is that I tried that before but due to a bug on the kernel related to CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n that I was using at that moment it didn't work (tried it with Elementary OS and Manjaro on previous kernels) and I know now that it didn't work because of that, so I found out that your configuration should now work since the 5.10 kernel has been patched. Sorry for the late reply and thank you for taking the time to answer.
