I have an issue that I can’t seem to solve with using Xrandr and a slightly odd dual monitor setup with the 5.11 kernel.
I’m running a dual monitor setup. Two VGA monitors with one being run from the on board VGA and the other from an old ATI Radeon HD 6990 with a DVI (card) to VGA (monitor) adapter. The graphics card only supports one conversion.
This works fine using the 5.10 kernel, but with 5.11 I get a black screen, the mouse jumps to the left of VGA-0 and the system is unresponsive.
The same happens if I remove the xrandr line from the config and instead run it from the terminal.
xrandr --auto produces the same error.
I don’t have the option to change the monitor setup at the moment, which is a shame as if I had monitors with HDMI or DVI ports it would be a lot easier!
Has anyone run into similar issue and perhaps found a solution?
For the time being, I’d suggest using the 5.10 kernel. In any case, do you see anything in journalctl or the Xorg log when this happens? And please post the output of inxi -Gazy.
