Hi
Are you using the default amdgpu driver (not the amdgpu-pro package)?

Are you using DRI_PRIME=1 to launch on the device?

As your user, what is the output from;


xrandr --listproviders

note the problem started again

Hi
For what it’s worth on my dual AMD gpu laptop I use switheroo-control and enabling the associated service, use the same on this desktop.

No additional settings in the grub boot options?


xrandr --listproviders

nothing extre this is the default boot options

splash=silent quiet

should i change it or try switcharoo

Hi
I would install switcheroo-control, start the service and test as above.

9

well i installed switcharoo and well it works fine works as intended except when i get done playing any steam game even once it then still makes my second or main graphics card disappears ad no longer shows up in dolphin-eu or ppsspp and steam wont even pick it up untill i reboot my laptop

10

Hi
So your using for example;


switcherooctl launch -g 1 <full patch to app/app_name>

Are you running wayland by chance?

11

ive tried that and no im not usnig wayland im going to see if this has anything to do with proton ge since it dose not do this with my emulaitors

12

ok changed nothing still is not working right and still doing the same thing im out of ideas
i have a ryzen 9 5900HX and a AMD radeon rx6800m

13

Hi
Maybe another forum user has some ideas… I’m a GNOME/Xorg user unfortunately.

14

i think one time i got an update to Xorg server and this problem went away untill i got more updates for amd-gpu kernel drivers maybe i need to force rebuild X idk and even so i may just wait for updates

15

Hi
Are you running amdgpu-pro driver?

16

no just the standard one that came with opensuse

17

so any way to fix this yet jw

18

so through trial and error i have discovered that my second graphics card disappears from my entire os until i reboot only when i run something with dxvk or vulkan i can run any emulator just fine in opengl but te second i even set up like dolphin-emu or ppsspp to run in vulkan bam my second graphics card disappears should i make a bug report
