Lubuntu 20.04 setting PCI HD5450 as default GPU

uspi · 01-31-2021, 07:28 AM

Hello, I just installed Lubuntu 20.04 on my ancient AM2 HTPC from '07. It has onboard graphics GeForce 6150 and Radeon HD 5450 in PCI slot (yes PCI non express if that matters). Tested working in Win XP but I want to use Lubuntu.

OK I'm totally new to Linux checked that both of GPUs are recognized by the OS using

Code:

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"

00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A8N-VM CSM
        Kernel driver in use: nouveau
--
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430]
        Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd. Caicos [Radeon HD 5450]
        Kernel driver in use: radeon

and used command glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"

OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: NV4E

So the OS seems to be using the onboard graphics through VGA. I managed to get picture from the HD 5450 (uses HDMI) by going to BIOS and setting

Primary Display to PCI instead of onboard. The problem is I can see the Lubuntu logo loading using HD 5450 (removed VGA cable) but after that when it gets to the OS there's no video and I have to use VGA onboard graphics again and I get picture.

I have no idea how to set the PCI GPU as the main one. In Windows I just disabled the onboard GPU from device manager.

(OFF-TOPIC: If someone wonders why I'm using such low end PCI GPU instead of onboard I got it for free and it has HDMI output which I need for my TV)

Welcome to forums, uspi

I doubt there is a GUI tool for your setup. Meaning you have to craft your Xorg configuration by hand. It must have two Device sections where your graphics cards are identified by PCI slot and proper drivers are associated with them. Then when the Xorg is up you can use xrandr utility to try and configure it. Such configuration would not survive Xorg restart, but it will give you clues what to write into Xorg configuration.

This could be something a BIOS upgrade would fix. Do you have the latest motherboard BIOS installed? Most BIOS will automatically use an installed discrete graphics card instead of the onboard GPU. You probably shouldn't have needed to make the BIOS change, but sometimes that's the only way.

When there is nothing on the HDMI screen, is the other screen connected to the VGA and producing output? It's unlikely that the 5450 will produce output when the VGA cable is connected to a powered up display and the onboard VGA connector. Most old BIOS will allow you to choose one or the other, but will not allow output to both the onboard GPU and a discrete GPU at the same time.

To find out what's going wrong, please boot using only the 5450 connected to a display, then reboot with only the onboard GPU connected to a display. From this onboard GPU boot, do:

Code:

pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

and provide the resulting URL here. If you get a file not found error, try substituting ./local/share/xorg/ for /var/log/ and try again. Output from the following pasted here could possibly also prove particularly helpful in diagnosis:

Code:

inxi -SMGIa

If the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf exists, rename it to something else. If any *.conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ exist containing any of amd, ati, radeon, nouveau, nvidia, device, monitor or screen in the filename, rename them as well. Then try booting with only the 5450 connected.

Are you ever able to reach a login prompt from using Ctrl-Alt-F3 after the logo is gone and the HDMI screen has nothing on it?

I have Debian 10 and 11 installed to an MSI motherboard with the same onboard 6150 graphics as OP, but only a PCIe 5450 card I could try installing in it if I thought it might help.

Hello and thanks for helping.

Yes I am on the latest BIOS it's from 2007 also with only some minor power management changes.

HDMI and VGA connected: I can see the Lubuntu loading logo with 5 dots and from my monitor I can switch to HDMI or VGA and get video output from both signals (resolution is also different). When it loads to OS it switches to VGA and I can't get any signal from HDMI anymore.

Only HDMI connected: I see the Lubuntu logo loading again and after a while the screen goes black and monitor light starts blinking meaning no signal it's hibernating. If I press ctrl+alt+F3 I get picture again and see the login. Going back ctrl+alt+F1 same thing no video monitor goes to sleep.

If I now plug in VGA I can't get to OS anymore I can only see the same login screen or hibernate although with smaller resolution.

With only VGA connected well it's a no brainer everything works fine. FYI whether I was using Windows or Linux I've only managed to get picture from the PCI 5450 in the OS level. The only way to get BIOS picture is onboard graphics.

There was no xorg.conf file only etc/x11/xorg.conf.d folder inside it 00-keyboard.conf with some layout and language settings. Now the logs:

Switch what how exactly? A physical switch on the monitor? On the TV? With the TV remote? Is the VGA connector you are using the one on the motherboard, or the one on the 5450? What you're doing isn't clear.

...and get video output from both signals (resolution is also different).

Do you mean both PC display and TV are showing activity?

Quote:

When it loads to OS

Exactly what do you mean by "loads OS"?

Quote:

it switches to VGA

What is happening that you describe as "switches to VGA"?

Quote:

and I can't get any signal from HDMI anymore.

Does this mean simply the TV screen is solid black? Can you see a login prompt there when you Ctrl-Alt-F4?

Quote:

Only HDMI connected: I see the Lubuntu logo loading again and after a while the screen goes black and monitor light starts blinking meaning no signal it's hibernating.

Are you sure this doesn't mean the TV is getting a signal that it does not support?

Quote:

If I press ctrl+alt+F3 I get picture again and see the login.

Excellent!!

This means logs can be collected and configuration can be adjusted.

Quote:

Going back ctrl+alt+F1 same thing no video monitor goes to sleep.

Let's back up here. Are you trying to make both the PC monitor on VGA and the TV on HDMI work at the same time? You should be able to do that by connecting the VGA on the 5450 to the PC monitor and the HDMI on the 5450 to the TV. Is this what you are doing? The log says you are using both the onboard GPU and the 5450. That's a fool's errand. A 5450 supports two displays at once, e.g. with my HD 5450:

Code:

Is firmware-amd-graphics installed? It needs to be if it isn't already:

Code:

sudo apt install firmware-amd-graphics

I suggest you keep the VGA cable off the motherboard connector. Have you ever tried using only the VGA and HDMI on the 5450? If not, forget everything else except installing the firmware for now, and try booting that way.

In any event, something else to try is disabling the GUI screen that appears after making the Grub selection and before the login screen is supposed to appear. This can be done temporarily by appending one of the following to the line beginning linu (which probably wraps) you see upon striking the E key at the Grub menu:

noplymouth
plymouth=0
plymouth.enable=0

Before appending, remove both splash=silent and quiet if they are there. Then proceed with booting. You should see lots of messages while it's booting. Does this help anything? Do you see any error messages?

I'll wait for your answers before making any further recommendations.

BTW, you didn't answer all requests, e.g. inxi is missing from your reply. You were supposed to paste that output, and upload, not paste, Xorg.0.log.old. Big long pastes should be avoided.
