Hello,
I recently installed an Nvidia 3070 alongside my Radeon 9700XT a few weeks ago. After a giant headache getting the Nvidia open drivers installed, I got it working, and allowing me to use it in Vulkan split workloads. But it started to cause my pc to boot to just the cursor/underline in the top corner. Rebooting fixed it most of the time, but I never saw any errors in the logs. But now it’s just a nightmare as whenever the pc goes to sleep, and wakes, it turns on the monitor with a blank image, and then the monitor says no signal and turns back off.
I think this is a driver race condition of sorts, with the nvidia driver getting in front of the amdgpu driver. But I can’t find any resources on this case that aren’t just about Optimus for laptops, and trying to prioritize the Nvidia card. I basically don’t care about the Nvidia card, beside for using it in lamma.cpp vulkan workloads. Otherwise I just want everything to run on my AMD card. I think the solution is some grub or dracut flags and commands, but many reference X11, and I highly doubt AI isn’t hallucinating flags. Zypper dup is also currently broken for me due to some ffmpeg issue, I believe just packman being behind or something, so probably not related.
This is my first post here so if I’ve left out some info, or screwed up the formatting please let me know!
Thanks!
