No detection of correct screen resolution for second monitor connected via Display-Port

:warning: The wiki won’t let me use links. So I had to put the ouput of commands directy in code blocks. For readability, the same post (with links) can be found on Reddit. You can
:mag_right: find it on Google : “Manjaro not detecting the correct screen resolution for Display-Port”.


Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Manjaro for a few years on my laptop and wanted to install it on my computer, which is currently running Archlinux.

The issue is that, just like a few months back, I have the same problem with Manjaro as I did with Archlinux: the monitor resolution of my secondary screen won’t fit.

A little bit of context

  • I have two identical monitors: ViewSonic VA2432-MHD Adaptive Sync
  • One is connected with an HDMI cable (the right monitor), the other one with a Display-Port 1.2 cable (the left monitor)
  • My GPU is a XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT
  • I already had the issue with Archlinux, which have been fixed a few months back thanks to the Archforum: :mag_right:Dual-monitor HDMI/DisplayPort with amdgpu : wrong resolution

What I did to solve it on Archlinux

I created a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf with the following content:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "HDMI-A-0"
  Modeline "1920x1080_60.00_rb2"  133.19  1920 1928 1960 2000  1080 1097 1105 1111 +hsync -vsync
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00_rb2"
  Option "Primary" "true"
  Option "RightOf" "DisplayPort-0"
  Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "DisplayPort-0"
  Modeline "1920x1080_60.00_rb2"  133.19  1920 1928 1960 2000  1080 1097 1105 1111 +hsync -vsync
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00_rb2"
  Option "LeftOf" "HDMI-A-0"
  Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "Screen 0"
  Device "AMD"
  Monitor "HDMI-A-0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier "AMD"
  Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection

The modeline was generated using cvt12 1920 1080 60 -b -o .

What I found

Using the official Manjaro KDE live iso (no additional config), the resolution isn’t right for the monitor connected with Display-Port (whatever the position, left or right). But correct for the HDM monitor.

Compiling the iso myself with buildiso with custom 10-monitor.conf file from above doesn’t work: the Display-Port monitor just goes black, as if it was not connected.

The EDID sent by the monitors aren’t the same, and changes if I switch the cables.

I think it’s a good lead to identify the problem, but I’m open to anything else.

I’ve played with vim -d and I found a few things when switching cables (the following are examples from vim -d dp-left.txt hdmi-left.txt, but valid for the right monitor)

  • the “EDID Structure Version & Revision” don’t match, 1.4 with Display-Port and 1.3 with HDMI
  • the “Display Range Limits” don’t match
    • DP: Monitor ranges (Bare Limits): 48-75 Hz V, 86-86 kHz H, max dotclock 180 MHz
    • HDMI: Monitor ranges (GTF): 48-75 Hz V, 24-86 kHz H, max dotclock 180 MHz
  • when using Display-Port, it lacks a few fields displayed for HDMI :
    • Vendor-Specific Data Block (HDMI)
    • Vendor-Specific Data Block (AMD)
  • Display-Port shows an additional field in the “Detailed Timing Descriptors” section:
DTD 6:   720x480    59.940 Hz   3:2    31.469 kHz   27.000 MHz (527 mm x 296 mm)
             Hfront   16 Hsync  62 Hback  60 Hpol N
             Vfront    9 Vsync   6 Vback  30 Vpol N

I think it’s where the issue comes from, but I’m not sure and don’t know how I can fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :smiley:

PS: with a live USB of Linux Mint, same problem.

If it is not solved or someone else finds this question the problem is maybe that the profile has to be added manually. You can add that with this solution: https://askubuntu.com/a/19956 cvt should be used with -r for modern LCDs. So cvt -r 1920 1080 60 and then copy and add it with xrandr as described in the askubuntu answer.
If you don’t want to set that up once but keep it after restart, you may want to write it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf as decribed in the archlinux wiki: xrandr - ArchWiki
