MultiMonitor/MultiGPU One Monitor Black Screen

Taxane · 1 January 2021 20:41

Hello!
New-ish to Manjaro.

I’m having an issue after a fresh install where two monitors connected to one nvidia gpu are displaying correctly, but my third monitor connected to a different nvidia gpu is not displaying anything.
I have used Manjaro Settings Manager to auto install the proprietary video-nvidia driver. I’ve also tried to use the KDE display configuration to enable the third monitor. I can enable it, but the setting does not stay saved upon closing after hitting apply or on reboot. I’ve also used nvidia-settings to save a new xorg.conf after I deleted to first one from a suggested solution from someone else’s post, to no avail.
Also looked at other forum posts, but the answers look to help with configuring an iGPU and a second GPU.

Not sure what else to try! Please let me know what I can provide to help.
Thanks in advance!

What’s the output of xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 --auto?

Taxane · 1 January 2021 20:58

It looks like an error.

xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 --auto

xrandr: Configure crtc 4 failed

  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)

Well, this seems to be the same problem I’m having when I’m trying to use an NVIDIA GPU as an output sink. It works for me on the 5.4 kernel, so I suggest you try that if you can.

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux54

and then in your bootloader, under “advanced options” (or similar) you can select the kernel you want to use.

Roger. I’ll give that a try.

No change. Went back into the Display Configuration and re-enabled the monitor. Still a black screen. Doesn’t wake monitor from sleep.
