Hello,
I’m having a pretty significant problem with Wayland on KDE plasma - I have two GPUs, in PCIe slots 1 (“GPU1”) and 2 (“GPU2”), and 3 displays connected to them, two (“sides”) to the GPU1 and third (“main”/“primary”/“center”) to GPU2. The displays connected to GPU1 work fine, but the one connected to the GPU2 some time ago was showing a black screen, but now it usually looks like some sort of graphical memory dump (different on every session). The windows that are supposed to be on that screen do work, and can be moved around and/or interacted with. The fact that I can actually move cursor over that glitchy mess (and it reacts to the windows that are supposed to appear there) makes it quite cursed.
(I was actually playing Beyond All Reason on Windows, and you can see some game stuff in the glitches)
However the displays work (mostly) fine with X11 session.
Something I found that might be useful, with boot process - I managed to configure my BIOS to turn on one of the displays connected to the each of the GPUs. However, the GPU that has the display with grub is then the one that works in the OS. Between grub and log-in, the displays connected to that GPU (usually GPU1) work fine, while the other one(s) turn on, but only show graphical glitches or remain black. At login screen, the ones connected to the working GPU show login screen, but other(s) turn off. They come back after logon, but, with Wayland, they show the glitchy mess, while on X11, they work fine. I tried reinstalling the drivers in the garuda settings hardware manager (and force-reinstalled explicitly with mhwd), but this seems to have had zero effect on anything.
Found this on this forums:
And this seems to be the exact issue I’m having, but the “solution” is apparently wrong?..:
Right now I am confused… Am I just waiting for the “wayland now works with multiple GPUs” update, or are my drivers busted, or do I have to load some module early in the initramfs (how? (attempt at using dracut (after finding out that Garuda is not using mkinitcpio) failed)), or some other problem?..
Part of the reason for posting this is just to make some more noise about this problem, but ideally… Is there a solution, that isn’t basically “just use X11”? I am getting choppy movement on X11 that is quite the eyesore, while the buttery smoothness of Wayland at 120Hz is mesmerizing, even when just dragging windows around.
This is the correct inxi, this time
