Nice. Now let’s see what a current Xorg.0.log looks like to compare to the previous. The old log has these red flags:

AMDGPU(0): Chipset: "**Unknown** AMD Radeon GPU" (**ChipID** = 0x1638)
AMDGPU(0): Output DisplayPort-0 connected
AMDGPU(0): Output HDMI-A-0 **disconnected**
AMDGPU(0): Output DisplayPort-1 **disconnected**

It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point your BIOS adjustment fails to stick across future boots, until device 0x1638 becomes recognized by the driver.

Yes, I stumbled upon that “unknown” Chipset 0x1683 as well. Maybe the 5600G or something on the mainboard isn’t fully supported by now. Strangely, it reports DP-0 as connected and then as disconnected, while on HDMI-0 it just says disonnected.

If this starts happening again in the near future, I suggest giving the modesetting DIX display driver a try. Because it’s not dependent on specific hardware, it works differently, so might work regardless of BIOS settings.

Thats a good advice. If my second display fails again, I will research into that. Since the PC is my Office PC and I’m having the upcoming week off, I will try to look into the issue after that and upload my Xorg.0.log. Maybe we can get a better clue on whats happening, so it might get fixed correctly.

PS: ecologically speaking, it’s best not to set “Delete after” to never. That image isn’t timeless. It will become obsolete in due time, thus useless cruft swelling the database needlessly.

yeah, sounds right. Since uploading didn’t work, I described the exact path to that config, which will be here for future reference forever, so I think thats OK.
