Hello y’all!
I am reposting this from the reddit thread.
Let me extend what the title says: I have a Razer Notebook, with an eGPU (AMD Hawaii XT / Grenada XT [Radeon R9 290X/390X]) connected through Tunderbolt (Razer Core) and two monitors.
Installed is Manjaro with Gnome and wayland.
Depending on the resolution + refresh rate one or the other monitor shows a grey overlay over the area that shows the application windows. When the main screen is the one having issues, the top bar with the time/date and logout options is visible. When I move windows around on the screen with the overlay I can see the background and the windows themselves, same when I press the SUPER button to show all open windows, although the grey overlay is there as soon as I go back and try to work.
To have an idea of what I am talking about, here a video:
Here more information about the system:

I tried autorandr like suggested.
I saved the laptop profile, then connected everything and it works well, until I close the lid of the laptop. As soon as I close the lid, the overlay comes back to the display. (I also tried to disable the laptop display from the settings, same behaviour)
Here how that looks like:
I copied the triple monitor configuration and renamed to double.
Original triple
output XWAYLAND2
crtc 2
mode 1080x1920
pos 1920x0
rate 59.87
output XWAYLAND0
crtc 0
gamma 1e-10:1e-10:1e-10
mode 1920x1080
pos 0x452
rate 59.88
output XWAYLAND1
crtc 1
mode 2560x1440
pos 3000x952
rate 59.91
and edited to make it a dual monitor configuration by removing the WAYLAND1 output
output XWAYLAND2
crtc 2
mode 1080x1920
pos 1920x0
rate 59.87
output XWAYLAND0
crtc 0
gamma 1e-10:1e-10:1e-10
mode 1920x1080
pos 0x452
rate 59.88
And now if I try to load the double profile (dual screen) it gives this error:
autorandr --load double
xrandr: cannot find crtc 2
Failed to apply profile 'double' (line 857):

Any ideas?
Thank you!
