xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

Hi everyone, first of all am not really sure if this topic is in the right section, but since am newbie in archlinux, seems fine to me. Also i would like to apologize for the bad english, hope the post can be understood anyway

Am having problems with the configuration of the x server in my laptop when connect and external hdmi monitor. i can only use the laptop screen (with the inbtegrated amd GPU) or the external hdmi monitor (with the nvidia GPU) but cant have both monitors working at the same time, i have done some research and read a lot on internet that amd+nvidia has a lot of problem.

my configuration files are the followings:

 
10-monitor.conf

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "eDP-1"
  Modeline "1920x1080_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00"
  Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "HDMI-0"
  Modeline "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00"
  Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
20-radeon.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "Radeon"
    BusID          "PCI:5:0:0"
    Option         "Monitor-eDP-1" "eDP-1"
EndSection
30-nvidia.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device1"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option         "Monitor-HDMI-0" "HDMI-0"
    Option         "Monitor-eDP-1"  "eDP-1"
EndSection
40-screen.conf

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "Screen-eDP"
  Device "Device0" 
  Monitor "eDP-1"
  DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "Screen-HDMI"
  Device "Device1" 
  Monitor "HDMI-0"
  DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

the output of 

 lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D 
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso/Raven 2 [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c2)

have the nvidia and xf86-video-amdgpu drivers installed, also try with ati drivers with the same results.

Any idea of what am doing wrong?

Re: xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

and read a lot on internet that amd+nvidia has a lot of problem

In my experience the vast majority of those problems are caused by incorrect user configuration aka PEBKAC .

Your .conf files look a lot better then the crap usually created by nvidia-xconfig, but do have atleast one issue X autodetect would not have had.

20-radeon.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "Radeon"
    BusID          "PCI:5:0:0"
    Option         "Monitor-eDP-1" "eDP-1"
EndSection

That forces X to use the modules from xf86-video-ati .
It's a good driver for older cards , not for modern cards.

Your zen+ processor with picasso / raven 2 grahics is far too new for the X radeon/ati driver and requires the X amdgpu driver/module .
remove xf86-video-ati and the 20-radeon.conf file.

please post full lspci -knn output.

remove xf86-video-ati and the 20-radeon.conf file.

just remove the ati driver and install amdgpu one, also modify that .conf file as follow:

20-amdgpu.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "amdgpu"
    BusID          "PCI:5:0:0"

still not working, same problem so far

Remove 10-monitor.conf, 20-radeon.conf, 30-nvidia.conf and 40-screen.conf and see the link I posted and redirect the output.

Re: xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

Why is the nvidia chip "provider 0"? This smells like you're running on the nvidia chip?

Re: xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

Yeah, you're running on the nvidia chip what won't work.
The reason is the config file that does

[  6642.955] (**) |-->Screen "Screen-HDMI-0" (0)
[  6642.955] (**) |   |-->Monitor "HDMI-0"
[  6642.955] (**) |   |-->Device "Device1"
[  6642.956] (**) |   |-->GPUDevice "Device0"

Edit: you can try to reverse the output redirection (because that's the only way that would make sense for the present configuration anyway) but because of the caps, I'd not hold my breath.

my idea is to use the nvidia GPU as primary GPU to acces both HDMI and laptop screen, i follow the instruction for the link under "reverse prime -> Discrete card as primary GPU". checking the logfile realice that some config files from /usr/share/X11 has been used in my past tests, so now i disable them, the only config file is the next

my xorg.conf file:

Re: xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

What still leads to you running on the nvidia chip.

[ 21865.831] (==) ServerLayout "layout"
[ 21865.831] (**) |-->Screen "nvidia" (0)
[ 21865.831] (**) |   |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[ 21865.832] (**) |   |-->Device "nvidia"
[ 21865.832] (**) |   |-->GPUDevice "amdgpu"

And apparently the output redirection doesn't work this way (and tbh, the nvidia provider looks fishy to the degree where I'm not confident that you can direct from or to it at all)

Re: xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

Try using the amd card with modesetting driver .
If that also doesn't show outputs / offloads in listproviders for the nvidia card you can't use 'discrete card as primary gpu' on this laptop.

The (bios/efi) firmware may have an option to select which videocard is the primary one .

Re: xorg configuration problem with amd+nvidia

[UPDATE]

Problem solved with the last kernel update, didnt modify any file at all, with latest kernel, xrandr now detects both screens.

Thanks for the help!
