[SOLVED] Unable to get external monitor working

abhixec · 2021-01-01 03:12:48

After recent upgrade I am unable to connect to my external monitor

~/ xrandr --output DP-1-1 --mode 2560x1440 --right-of eDP-1
xrandr: Configure crtc 3 failed
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 (RRSetCrtcConfig)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  58
  Current serial number in output stream:  58

Using thinkpad X1E with Nvidia graphics card.
I read on the archlinux main page that nvidia breaks with linux > 5.9. Has that been resolved? Also after I install linux-lts what should I do to make it the default kernel used? because after reboot it still show linux.5.10.3

TL;DR: Installed linux-lts and nvidia-lts to get the external monitor working

Edit 2: nvidia package version : nvidia-460.32.03-1 fixes this issue. No need to use nvidia-lts if you don't want to

Please post the output of "xrandr -q" and your xorg log.

As for selecting the "default" kernel, the preselection of your https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … oot_loader depends on your boot boot loader, so yo'll have to specify that but that aspect is probably also covered by the relevant wiki page.

At least the outputs and mode exist. Can you

xrandr --output DP-1-1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of eDP-1

or

xrandr --output DP-1-1 --mode 2560x1440 --below eDP-1

Not "grep somethingthatmakesnosenseatall™", the entire log.
Did you try the smaller resolution?

Same problem. As the allocation leading to the failure happens in the modesetting driver, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … deo-intel/ ?
(This will alter output and provider names!)

I have that already installed and rebooted before attempting the above.

Can you just mirror the output?

xrandr --output DP-1-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0

**grrrrumplfx**

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=235026 suggests it to be a BIOS issue.
=> What HW (notebook) is this specifically?

Ftr, the function also returns a null pixmap if the sharing fails (rather than the creation)

It is Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 1. And yes I actually updated the bios last night too and still the same. :'(

I installed LTS but don't know how to set in grub

You should™ get a bootmanager menu…

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB
"set default=N" in /boot/grub/grub.conf or "GRUB_DEFAULT=N" in /etc/default/grub ("N" being the Nth entry in the list and you'll have to grub-mkconfig for /etc/default/grub to apply)

Ok I installed linux-lts and booted into it but now it xrandr -q doesn't even list other displays :'( it only shows eDP1.

I have the exact same problem. But I cannot install nvidia-lts because my /boot partition is full. Is there any other workaround for this?

abhixec · 2021-01-07 08:51:52

Though I haven't tried it myself you could try installing nvidia beta driver from aur. It is suppose to support Linux 5.10

This fixed it, thanks a lot!

This is probably obvious for most people but maybe it will help someone:

paru -R nvidia nvidia-lts
paru -S nvidia-beta
reboot

Just an FYI, the latest nvidia driver fixes the issue on linux kernel 5.10. So you probably don't need the aur beta version.
