Xrandr --setprovideroutputsource fail

Hello i recently installed Arch on my desktop,

i follow the installation guide(shorter-one), and everything works fine exept my dual monitor setup.
Im using integrated and dedicated cards, and their VGA outputs for my two monitors.

after reading bunch of forum threads, unfortunately without success, i installed xf86-video-ati-git.

lspci | grep VGA

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Kabini [Radeon HD 8400 / R3 Series]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland XT [Radeon HD 8670 / R7 250]

xrandr --listproviders

Provider 0: id: 0x96 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 2 associated providers: 1 name:radeon
Provider 1: id: 0x54 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 3 associated providers: 1 name:radeon

after this command:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 0 1  # suggested on forum topics

My Gnome fails and send me to login page.  Im pretty cluless. On other previous distros (ubuntu, fedora) that i used, i didnt experience this problem. But I really like Arch
Help me if you can. Thanks in advance!
