3.0-STABLE / drm-kmod / dual radeon problems
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2021 18:51:36 UTC
[resending to freebsd-x11@ vs x11@] I'm making my semi-annual attempt to convert a windows box to a FreeBSD box and having the same kind of issues. It is a Dell Optiplex 9020 with dual radeon cards (and currently 3 monitors, 4 if I can get it to work). TL;DR: I can get it to work with any one card, but not both cards.

OS obviously sees both cards and reports them like this: [pciconf -lv] vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1002 device=0x6611 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x210b vendor = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I can play games with a .conf using the device section and BusIDs to get it to use the two monitors on the 2nd card, but then the first gets ignored. I've experimented with AutoAddGPU (true), and GPUDevice (2nd card) with no love. It seems like X doesn't want to recognize both cards (I think this is the one with radeon driver): [xrandr --listproviders)] Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x53 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 2 associated providers: 0 name:OLAND @ pci:0000:05:00.0 With no .conf, it just shows this: [xrandr --listproviders] Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x43 cap: 0xa, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 2 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting Depending on which card I've picked with the .conf, it'll show that. It seems like my first hurdle is to get X running on all cards at the same time, then dig into Xinerama and monitor layouts so things show up where they're supposed to. Any suggestions? There has been a LOT of water under the bridge for the DRM drivers and X11 from the web hits I'm finding. I've attached the Xorg.0.log when I don't have a custom configuration, but I assume it's pretty useless since it says "Not automatically adding GPU devices", which would seem to preclude my 2nd card.
