Laptop Working Group Github Issue Request - Multi-GPU Support
Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2025 21:29:24 UTC
Hello, I was looking through https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/issues?page=1 and noticed that there doesn't seem to be an issue for Multi-GPU support. While it is true that the /dev/ nodes populate, and DRI_PRIME=1 works. X11 and Wayland do not function as expected. On Linux no configuration is needed and X11 and Wayland work out of the box, on FreeBSD for X11 you need to configure it in order to make it work and the handful of Wayland compositors I tried (KDE, Sway, Hikari) simply won't start and I'm not aware of a way to configure them to work. Presumably we're missing some sort of signaling around which is the "primary device". This effects the Framework 16 with Discrete GPU (AMD + AMD), but I would assume it effects most/all dual-gpu laptops. Thanks, Luke
