Kernel Linux 6.6.52-1-lts + Nvidia Driver (LTS) 560.35.03 =blackscreen

jdssl · 2024-09-20 00:11:32

Hello everyone, after updating the kernel version from 6.6.51-1-lts to 6.6.52-1-lts, my xrandr no longer lists my notebook's screen, it only displays the external monitor.

I have a notebook with both an nvidia and an Intel GPU.

This is the output of my xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767DP-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

This is the my xorg.conf

After the update this problem started.
I use a script to be able to make screen changes:

#!/bin/bash
EXTERNAL_OUTPUT="HDMI-0"
INTERNAL_OUTPUT="eDP-1-1"

# if we don't have a file, start at zero
if [ ! -f "/tmp/monitor_mode.dat" ] ; then
  monitor_mode="all"

# otherwise read the value from the file
else
  monitor_mode=`cat /tmp/monitor_mode.dat`
fi

if [ $monitor_mode = "all" ]; then
        monitor_mode="EXTERNAL"
        xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --off --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto && notify-send "External Monitor" -t 3000
elif [ $monitor_mode = "EXTERNAL" ]; then
        monitor_mode="INTERNAL"
        xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --off && notify-send "Internal Monitor" -t 3000
# elif [ $monitor_mode = "INTERNAL" ]; then
#         monitor_mode="CLONES"
#         xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --same-as $INTERNAL_OUTPUT && notify-send "Clone Mode" -t 3000
else
        monitor_mode="EXTEND-LEFT"
        # xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --left-of $INTERNAL_OUTPUT && notify-send "Extend left mode"
        # xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --right-of $INTERNAL_OUTPUT && notify-send "Extend right mode" -t 3000
        xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --left-of $INTERNAL_OUTPUT && notify-send "Extend left mode" -t 3001

fi
echo "${monitor_mode}" > /tmp/monitor_mode.dat

Has anyone experienced this? Help me?

Post a xorg log, generally speaking that xorg.config as it looks like will always have lead to this result (you only specify the nvidia device which means it's the only thing visible to the xorg server). I suggest you get rid of it. and instead do a configlet for the nvidia options e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Section "OutputClass"
   Identifier "nvidia"
   MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
   Driver "nvidia"
    Option         "ForceFullCompositionPipeline" "on"
    Option         "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "off"
    Option         "TripleBuffer" "on"
    Option         "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    Option "Coolbits" "4"
    Option "PowerMizerEnable" "yes"
    Option "PowerMizerDefaultMode" "2"
EndSection

But if you're certain its a kernel update's fault then check whether you can reproduce if you go down a kernel and in consequence check e.g.

sudo journalctl -b

between the two kernels on whether something isn't loaded properly.

Once deleted my xorg.conf and create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf with:

Section "OutputClass"
   Identifier "nvidia"
   MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
   Driver "nvidia"
    Option "ForceFullCompositionPipeline" "on"
    Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "off"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "on"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    Option "Coolbits" "4"
    Option "PowerMizerEnable" "yes"
    Option "PowerMizerDefaultMode" "2"
EndSection

I have the same behavior.
I tried to create the 20-intel.conf for my GPU intel, but when rebooted I failed to start Light Display Manager.

This is output the command lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P GT1 [UHD Graphics] (rev 0c)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)

I used NVIDIA with my primary GPU.
Before updating the kernel with xorg.conf, xrandr was able to list both the notebook screen and the external monitor, after the update, xrandr only lists the external monitor.

First things first, make sure xf86-video-intel is not installed for a GPU this new and don't refrence the "intel" driver in any xorg.conf

If the only real difference is the kernel, check your

sudo journalctl -b

for the current boot -b-1 for the one before that and so forth and check whether kernel errors for the i915 kernel module can be found, or upload that to 0x0.st so we can take a look with

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

(and we'd still need to see a xorg log)

Thanks for helping me, but I'm trying Hyprland and so far I haven't had any problems with monitors and nvidia.
