Ok so I’m fairly new to Manjaro but not linux itself. I’m a happy Debian/Ubuntu user who has decided to jump ship to Manjaro because it is so much snappier than any thing I’ve used (other than Pop_OS). So I recently tried Pop_OS and had this issue and assumed it was a PopOS issue until it started to show up in Manjaro.
I have two monitors connected to my Asus ROG RX 570 video card. One through HDMI and the other through DisplayPort (DP from now onwards). The issue I have is when I first installed Manjaro, I found myself stuck on a manjaro screen with a background but no DE in my HDMI monitor but no output on my DP monitor. I assumed it was hung somehow, used ALT-F3 to get to a login and then CTRL-ALT-DELed it till I could modify the boot options. I used “nomodeset” and that seemed to remediate the problem but I had both screens showing the same display (of course) but I got the prompts, and did my install.
Upon reboot, I got the same issue, with my HDMI monitor showing me a wallpaper and a mouse pointer but no other DE info like taskbar, etc. So after moving my mouse, I realized that my DP monitor (which physically sits on the right) was “VIRTUALLY” to the left of my HDMI monitor. However, my DP monitor was in power-saving mode with no display. After doing some forum research, I found the solution:
- Disconnect my DP monitor.
- Go to DISPLAY SETTINGS and have it ready.
- Reconnect my DP monitor.
- In DISPLAY SETTINGS, select my DP monitor and disable it. Click APPLY.
- In DISPLAY SETTINGS, select my DP monitor and enable it. Click APPLY.
Voila… it came to life!! Thank you to this forum.
TL;DR
Occasionally my DisplayPort monitor goes to black and never comes back till I repeat the above steps. Specifically, when I run LUTRIS (World of Tanks), it tends to go black and not return back. What am I changing or what is being overwritten that keeps me having to do this? I’m assuming this isn’t a strickly WINE issue just because I can only get this effect from Lutris (for now).
