[SOLVED] xrandr-hdmi issue

gabe12 · 2021-08-22 13:01:12

Hello,

I have a Lenovo X1Exterme with Intel & Nvidia GTX1650 cards.
I'm facing a problem where each time I boot the system and login via lightdm xrandr is setting the nvidia HDMI output to `HDMI-1-1`
Which is the wrong address and doesn't work with the external monitor and gives error `configure crtc 5 failed `

Now when I restart the login manager `systemctl restart lightdm` and login again, I see the xrandr setting HDMI to `HDMI-1-0` and it is working properly.

```
I've tried different login managers ( lightdm / sddm )
and different DE / WM ( LXDE / I3 / Awesome)

I'm looking for help on where to start for troubleshooting this behavior.

99% https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … _KMS_start - see also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting
In doubt post xorg logs w/ the "wrong" and the "right" HDMI, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

I edited the modules line in "/etc/mkinitcpio.conf" to be

MODULES=(battery i915 nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

and It worked like a charm.
Thank you.
