Intel graphics DVI output only works for startup messages

nourthe · 2021-01-28 18:46:23

Hi, I have an issue with my computer and I want to fix it to don't buy more wires.

Summary

I'm new in Xorg and xrandr configurations, but I think this looks hard.
My DVI output (second screen) only works for starting images, uefi bios, select boot drive, grub and linux loading messages. And works as a mirror of the VGA screen. Then it keep black.

Specs:

SO: Arch - Linux 5.10.10-arch1-1
CPU: Intel i5-9400 (with integrated graphics 630)
Motherboard: ASUS Z390-A PRO
Monitor 1: HD connected by VGA to Motherboard
Monitor 2: Full HD connected by DVI-D to Motherboard

Extra: GPU connected to motherboard ( but iommu-vfio isolated )

The problem:

Xorg can't see my `monitor 2`.
The only way I got an image in it, was disabling modesetting (putting nomodeset and i915.modeset=0 kernel params). But I had the same HD image in both monitors, and in my KDE parameters I saw 1 monitor with 1 resolution, just like when the pc is starting.

My xrandr output:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 410mm x 230mm

(The i915 errors go away when I put a xorg.conf file choosing modeset driver but I deleted all my xorg.conf files to post in the forum.)

I tried several xorg.conf and kernel configurations and some xrand commands, but now I don't know how to proceed.

A bit of background

I wanted to use my integrated graphics card to try PCI Passthrough but my mother only had VGA, DVI-D and Display Port ports.
Then I bought a DVI cable, cause my Samsung Monitor only have HDMI and DVI-I ports.

Actually I can try PCI Passthrough, the Samsung Monitor works fine with both DVI and HDMI through my GPU.
But I would like to have 2 screens (or at least my full hd screen) working in Linux when I don't want to use PCI Passthrough (80% of the time).

Extra info

DVI connection doesn't work on Windows 10 either. (With both Intel and Nvidia drivers installed)

This is my first post in a Linux Forum in 8 years of Linux usage, I could always solve my problems by reading posts by other persons but this problem got tricky for me.

Please don't do that

The xorg log is from a failing server.
In general, you'll end up w/ different DISPLAYs on two different GPUs and either have to redirect the output ("xrandr --listproviders" will tell whether that's possible at all) or use xinerama to bind two screens, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multihead

The latter will lose yo xrandr support, which some clients will honor by simply crashing - in that case you'll require sth. like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fakexrandr-git/
