Slackware multi monitor config


Hey, I've been following the beginners guide for my Slackware 14.2 install, and I'm working on the display configuration part, but I've run into some trouble and I need your help. For my hardware, I'm using an amd APU (ryzen 3 2200g) with no graphics card attached. I'm also doing an EFI setup with ELILO and the huge kernel (if that matters). I have not fully upgraded my slackpkg stuff yet, and I've chosen XFCE for my desktop environment.

The guide says to use either:
Code:
# X -configure
or
# xorgconfig
X -configure works ok for my single monitor when I "startx"; xorgconfig does not seem to be installed by default. My second monitor is undetected, according to my xrandr -q command. I checked out the xorg.conf man pages as well as the Multihead article on the arch wiki in order to write my own config file. Right now I have 2 files in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

10-monitor.conf:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "DVI1"
    Option "primary" "true"
EndSection
 
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "HDMI1"
    Option "LeftOf" "DVI1"
EndSection
 
Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "AMD"
    Monitor "DVI1"
    Monitor "HDMI1"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth 24
    EndSubSection
EndSection
20-amd.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
        Identifier "AMD"
        Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection
The server fails on the device section, and I'm not sure how to continue. I've made sure that the xf86-video-amdgpu-1.1.0-x86_64-1.txz package is installed. Changing the driver back to "vesa" will start the server again, but it's the same result as the "X -configure" option. Is there something I'm missing?

Here is the modified .conf file I created based on what you sent me mrmazda, but I'm getting the same error I got before. Vesa is working, and xrandr -q shows the same "default" monitor connection. Also, I don't have a GPU connected; I'm using an APU and the onboard ports from my mobo.

Code:
#50-device.conf
Section "Device"
	Identifier "AMD"
	Driver "amdgpu"

	Option "monitor-DVI1"	"primary"
	Option "monitor-HDMI1"	"secondary"
EndSection

#50-monitor1.conf
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"primary"
	Option		"DPMS"	"off"
	Option		"PreferredMode"	"1920x1080"
EndSection

#50-monitor2.conf
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"secondary"
	Option		"DPMS"	"off"
	Option		"DefaultModes"	"on"
	Option		"PreferredMode"	"1920x1080"
	Option		"RightOf"	"primary"
EndSection

#50-screen1.conf
Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"ScreenLeft"
	Device		"amdgpu"
	Monitor		"primary"
EndSection

#50-screen2.conf
Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"ScreenRight"
	Device		"amdgpu"
	Monitor		"secondary"
EndSection

Do those match up to the output from
Code:
xrandr --listproviders
???

That correlates to my comment in the first thread "The log reports no devices detected". I don't know what's missing that prevents any devices from being detected. What does
Code:
inxi -Gxx
report? Are there any clues to detection failure in the journal or dmesg?

Well, I did some more reading and figured I might need an LLVM of 5.0 or greater and Mesa of 18.0 or more for best compatibility with the 2200g APU I'm using. My slackware-14.2 inxi command was showing older versions of these, so, I installed slackware-current, but, it looks like these packages haven't changed since.

Code:
bash-4.3# inxi -Gxx
Graphics:  Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: N/A bus ID: 38:00.0 chip ID: 1002:15dd

As far as dmesg goes, I found a few lines under "AMD", but I'm not too familiar with these type of entries..

Code:

I will keep reading; my hardware is kind of new as well, so that might be part of the issue.

The chip ID according to pci-ids.ucw.cz is a Raven Ridge series APU, but it doesn't identify the actual model. The next line reports the (prescribed) amdgpu driver is neither in use nor available. Is package xf86-video-amdgpu actually installed? For server 1.18.3 you're probably on the right track about newness being an issue. It may be the primary or only issue, since 1.18.3 is more than 30 months old. Before deciding newness is a complete blocker, you might give the modesetting driver a try, but it looks to me like you're going to need a more thorough upgrade to current, which according to PACKAGES.TXT has 1.20.3.

I messed around with the modesetting driver a little bit, but I ended up doing a full upgrade instead. I double checked and, yes, the amdgpu driver package was installed. My command results and log errors are slightly different now, though, and the device section is being detected. I guess that is (some) progress.

inxi output while in the tty thing (before doing the default/vesa startx):

Code:
bash-4.4# inxi -Gxx

  unloaded: amdgpu alternate: fbdev resolution: 1920x1080~N/A 
  "Advanced Graphics aren't available while in the tty thing" (or something like that)

Hey,

When i try to find out a problem i like to do it methodically so maybe this will help you too:
- assume the CPU is OK
- next: Motherboard -> is there any setting in BIOS in relation to video output, maybe you have to enable some settings to get the secondary output enabled
- next: Monitor + cable -> is your monitor and cables in good working order (connected, powered on,etc)
- next: OS does your OS detect the monitor/video device, etc...
- next: configuration is the detected device(s) configured correctly?

So since your monitor is not detected correctly, i would go ahead and check the bios settings first (assuming your external monitor and cable is all good).

You ought to be able to get going with a minimum of adapting of xorg.conf from what follows (I have no hardware supported by the amdgpu driver):

If they didn't change, then I don't believe you successfully upgraded to -current. Both have been continually updated during -current's development process. LLVM was upgraded to v7.0 back in Sep 2018 and mesa was upgraded to v18.2.5 almost 2 weeks ago.

But you definitely need to be running -current to properly support Ryzen APUs. As you found, 14.2 is just too old to support them.

Yes, my mistake bass, I had -current installed, but didn't do a full slack upgrade yet when I posted. Once upgraded, I was getting the correct output you are talking about (using the basic vesa driver to get the OpenGL stuff):

Code:
bash-4.4# inxi -Gxx
Graphics:  Device-1: AMD Raven Ridge [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: N/A 
           bus ID: 38:00.0 chip ID: 1002:15dd 
           Display: server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: vesa resolution: 1920x1080~N/A 
           OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0 128 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.2.5 compat-v: 3.1 direct render: Yes

I'll mess around with the modesetting some more to see if I can get something going; if I can't, then it's not really a big deal. Do people ever just stick with the base terminal for stuff? I'm only going to be reading about slackpkg things for now and maybe a basic server setup. Mostly I just wanted to get a base system going before I continued.

It turns out I do have a PCIe card supported by the amdgpu driver, though not anywhere near as new as a Raven Ridge:

I updated my BIOS and reinstalled/upgraded -current. I'm trying to use the modesetting driver, and after seeing this:
Code:
(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
I found the man pages for the modesetting option:

Option "kmsdev" "string"
The framebuffer device to use. Default: /dev/dri/card0.

My current hardware is not using a GPU in the PCI slot, so /dev/dri/card0 doesn't exist. Is there somewhere I should be pointing this kmsdev instead?
