Hello,
I’m new to Linux and coming from a decade of using Apple.
Since two days I search the forums and look for similar problems and try to solve my issue with my second monitor. It actually is a Beamer connected to the HDMI out of my AMD Radeon RX 580.
I have my primary display connected via DisplayPort and the second on the HDMI output.
In the native Display Settings the second Display is seen, but cannot be activated. Also it seems like it’s loosing the connection every couple of seconds. Here is a video showing how it looks like in the settings.
I switched to mesa-git driver and also tried the experimentel Kernel 5.17, but still cannot activate the display.
The following system information was requested in similar threads, so I will post them here as well.

Would be nice to get some help, as I would really like to make the switch.
Thanks!

Edit:
I tried this:
[lzee@abc ~]$ xrandr | grep " connected " | awk '{ print$1 }'
DisplayPort-1
HDMI-A-0
[lzee@abc ~]$ xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
[lzee@abc ~]$ xrandr --verbose --output HDMI-A-0 --mode 1920x1080
screen 0: 5120x1440 1354x381 mm 96.00dpi
crtc 1: 1920x1080 60.00 +0+0 "HDMI-A-0"
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
crtc 0: disable
crtc 1: disable
crtc 2: disable
crtc 3: disable

crtc 5: disable
screen 0: revert
crtc 0: revert
crtc 1: revert
crtc 2: revert
crtc 3: revert
crtc 4: revert
crtc 5: revert
Also tried other ports now, I got an adapter from HDMI to DisplayPort. They work individually, but not when connected together.
And I tried this: GitHub - geyslan/xrasengan: An xrandr wrapper to make your multi-monitor setup easier
[lzee@abc ~]$ xrasengan -f -on DisplayPort-2 --crtc 2
/usr/bin/xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
And I testet all variations from crtc 1 to crtc 5, no luck.
