Screen tearing on only 1 screen with Wayland

Hi,

I am trying to use a 2 screens configuration (on 3, the other one is disabled) on my laptop, using Wayland.

On X11 it works. But on Wayland, one screen is unusable.

This is the first screen, it works as intended, it's HP 2211 plugged via a VGA connector.

This is the second screen, it works on X11 but not on Wayland, it is a Samsung SyncMaster plugged in via HDMI.

There is a third screen, the main screen of the laptop (the laptop is a HP ZBook) but I don't use it.

My DE is Plasma, and I am using the zen kernel, but this doesn't change anything as the stock kernel do the same.

It's funny as you can see that the mouse cursor works nicely on the samsung screen.

What can I do to solve this problem ?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Screen tearing on only 1 screen with Wayland

Your problem is that this is a dual card system and your HDMI likely going over the nvidia card. There are some fixes with a plasma wayland session and this in plasma 6 so the best tip I'd have is to try enabling testing and kde-unstable (or wait a month) to check how this behaves. You're using nouveau with that card right?

Re: Screen tearing on only 1 screen with Wayland

I don't recall having installed anything for nvidia.

If I use both of these commands :

pacman -Q | grep -i nvidia

and

pacman -Q | grep -i nvidia

I get nothing.

I am not sure to list what driver I am using and if nvidia or intel gpu is used.

Re: Screen tearing on only 1 screen with Wayland

So, if I understand correctly, I don't use the nvidia gpu, and everything go through the intel one ?
