[SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

Hello there,

I'm using the nouveau driver on a work laptop, which has a Geforce RTX card and also AMD Radeon, for some reason. Here's lspci and here are the relevant parts:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104M [GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cezanne [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c5)

I tried using the proprietary nvidia driver, but that caused other annoyances (don't ask me which, I don't remember) so I gave up on that. But nouveau causes these strange artifacts only on the external 4K display, which makes mainly text temporarily unreadable. It feels like it has to do something with re-rendering, because a few things can help:
- waiting
- quickly rewriting or changing text (when I type really fast, like randomly mashing the keyboard, then it doesn't show up)
- switching window focus to other monitor
I'm running i3 on X on pretty much basic arch installation. I tried adding picom, just in case because I don't understand the rendering pipeline, but that didn't help.
Here are some images what it does to menus and text - just as I was writing this post. The three images of this post are when 1) I was just writing, 2) as I pressed ctrl+a to select all, 3) after switching focus to laptop display.

menus
writing
selecting
re-rendering

Note that the text was mistyped, because I couldn't see what I was typing. :D

Any ideas what can I turn on or off to make this go away?

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

Update:
I chatted with a nouveau dev. I was suggested to add 

nouveau.config=NvGspRm=1

to my kernel parameters. I didn't observe any changes, but it was suggested to keep it in anyway. Then I was told to try the sway manager, which uses Wayland rather than X11. I tried that and that seems to work. I haven't fully switched yet, but testing showed promise.

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

Please remove the oversized images resp. replace them with links. The board has a 250x250px max rule.
Are you actually running on the nvidia chip or on the AMD one?
Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General but wrt

nouveau causes these strange artifacts only on the external 4K display

I assume that's only for reverse prime.

Fwwi, w/ an Ampere chip, you'll likely get a VASTLY better performance out of the binary driver.

I looked at the rules, I see no mention of that rule. I'm asking because I don't know if this is about the screen size of those images, or their size of the files instead. Because they are uploaded elsewhere, they are links to images.

Are you actually running on the nvidia chip or on the AMD one?

I had no idea it's possible to run nouveau on an AMD card. Anyway, I'm using the nvidia chip, because when I disabled it in UEFI, the monitor didn't work. So the HDMI goes through nvidia.

Fwwi, w/ an Ampere chip, you'll likely get a VASTLY better performance out of the binary driver.

I don't really care about performance, only functionality. It's a work laptop.

It's not and nothing you've posted hinted at what driver is used where.

I don't know what you're asking. I literally posted the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (.old because it was shorter and clearer).

Feel free to call me stupid, but it sounds like you only confirmed that the monitor is indeed running on the nvidia chip.

I already did and I strongly prefer using the OSS driver. I mentioned that in the original post:

I tried using the proprietary nvidia driver, but that caused other annoyances (don't ask me which, I don't remember) so I gave up on that.

You wrote that I'm running the eDP on the AMD chip. So if I remove the amd driver, I'll lose video output on the laptop screen? And how is it related to nvidia?

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

Code tags don't care about the length of your xorg log, and posting an old log does not reflect the current active state as you're seeing it. Always post the latest available information that most closely reflects what you're currently seeing.

You do not lose output on the laptop screen. xf86-video-amdgpu is an optional xorg ddx driver that will get replaced by the generic modesetting driver built into xorg if it isn't present, which generally speaking is much better tested with hybrid GPU workloads. It is related to nvidia because you want to test the effect of this interaction between the two drivers.

As for the nvidia driver suggestion, you explicitly mentioned you don't remember what annoyances you had - chances are those got fixed - or are easier worked around than nouveau.

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

Also

Feel free to call me stupid

No, but the point is what the server is running on, ie. what actually renders the framebuffer. Not where the output is wired (though that's a subsequent question and complicates things)
Your nvidia GPU is merely a CRTC hub in this setup and the artifacts could very much come from the AMD render.

As mentioned, fee free to test removing xf86-video-amdgpu first, if that doesn't change anything, you could install xf86-video-nouveau instead.
But ultimately you'll have to test whether you're getting the same artifacts w/ the nvidia driver.

And please post the latest xorg logs to illustrate your respective findings.

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

I removed xf86-video-amdgpu and nouveau crashed on the next boot. I still had functioning laptop display, but running xrandr to enable the external monitor sort of froze the system - mouse was moving, but I couldn't switch to another tty (ctrl+alt+fkey). So I reinstalled it and nouveau no longer crashes. However, I still can't switch to another tty, that just turns the display blank and I lose control - can't go back, nothing works, not even the power button. WTF.

Here's a journalctl log of the crash instead of dmesg, because I don't know how to get dmesg from a previous boot (tauri is hostname):

you could install xf86-video-nouveau

I'm confused - nouveau is installed, I'm using it...

As for the nvidia driver suggestion, you explicitly mentioned you don't remember what annoyances you had - chances are those got fixed

I tried it like last month, so that's unlikely. It's just that dealing with the blob is annoying, like setting up the external monitor. AFAIK you have to use nvidia-settings, but with nouveau you can just call xrandr and it's automatic. I'm using i3, so I don't have monitor settings like you get in Gnome.

And please post the latest xorg logs to illustrate your respective findings.

The Xorg output is the same, because I'm not changing anything. But here's the output snippet from previous boot (with the same setup, i.e. both xf86-video-nouveau and xf86-video-amdgpu installed, but simply just switching to another tty):

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

xf86-video-nouveau isn't the kernel module and xf86-video-nouveau was not available and used in the xorg log you posted.

AFAIK you have to use nvidia-settings

AFAYK is wrong… as a matter of fact, using nvidia-settings to generate a static server config in this setup would be a terrible idea.

I don't know how to get dmesg from a previous boot

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

The Xorg output is the same

If you installed or removed any xf86-* package that's simply impossible.

How I wish I could get some normal hardware rather than this gaming laptop with two graphics cards.

You can most likely disable one or either in the BIOS settings

But here's the output snippet

Which is completely useless.

We'll guide you through this, but you'll have to provide the actual data from the system.

Re: [SOLVED] nouveau driver - weird artifacts on external monitor

Okay nevermind, I also did pacman -Syu, which upgraded my Zen kernel, which seems to have resulted in the crashes. I just downgraded to earlier kernel and it doesn't crash anymore.

I removed xf86-video-amdgpu again. It looks like that helped, I'm currently not seeing any artifacts - neither when typing, not with youtube video, and not in sublime text like on that image in the initial post. Success! smile

I looked at Xorg log again. It seems that Xorg loaded, exited with an error, and loaded again just on this last boot. Here's Xorg.0.log.old:

The "old" one has Log time just a single second before the "current" one, so that's why I'm guessing Xorg restarted.

Anyway, thank you to seth and V1del for suggesting uninstalling xf86-video-amdgpu and having patience with me. smile


Replying to seth's last reply, because they're so quick:

AFAYK is wrong… as a matter of fact, using nvidia-settings to generate a static server config in this setup would be a terrible idea.

I didn't suggest doing that, I meant using nvidia-settings on every boot to set up the external monitor. I also try to avoid using static Xorg config.

If you installed or removed any xf86-* package that's simply impossible.

I'm sorry, you misunderstood there. The Xorg log I posted back then was the .old, but that one was with identical setup to the back-then-current one. I only said I used .old because it was shorter, because the laptop wasn't running longer. I think.

You can most likely disable one or either in the BIOS settings

I know. I disabled the nvidia one and that disabled the HDMI port, so I re-enabled it. I haven't tried disabling the AMD one, because I kept asking for the BIOS password every single time (I was also trying other options in BIOS) and I just didn't want to bother the HR lady anymore, because we have an external PC support company. This is a company laptop, so I don't have the BIOS password myself.

Which is completely useless.

I know what you mean, but I only posted what seemed relevant. The rest of the bootup was the same like always, I only tried isolating what happened at the tty switch.

Anyway, it looks like the artifacts are gone, I haven't seen a single one since removing that package. I don't know what's up with the Zen kernel crashing, but that's a different topic.

Thank you for your time! smile
