Unable to verify or set "TearFree" option for amdgpu

[oiqwcjbnopqw]

Greetings!

I have screen tear on my vertical second monitor. The end goal is to get rid of it. I tried following the Archwiki instructions on AMDGPU, section “Tear free rendering” (I’m not allowed to link it).

Sounds easy enough, however xrandr already doesn’t work:

[me@pc ~]$ xrandr --verbose
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2970 x 1680, maximum 16384 x 16384

[me@pc ~]$ xrandr --output DP-2 --set TearFree on

  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request:  45
  Current serial number in output stream:  45

I also tried to make a config file.

[me@pc ~]$ inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: AMD Navi 10 [Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT]
    driver: amdgpu v: kernel

  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.10 driver: X: loaded: modesetting
    dri: radeonsi gpu: amdgpu resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz 2: 1050x1680~60Hz

    6.6.10-1-MANJARO)
  API: Vulkan v: 1.3.274 drivers: radv surfaces: xcb,xlib

So I wrote into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf file:

Section "Device"
     Identifier   "AMD Navi 10"
     Driver       "amdgpu"
     Option       "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

I also tried various worse versions of this, all of which, including this one, result in the PC booting without graphical interface, so I had to delete the file from console after using Ctrl-Alt-F3.

For good measure, here is mhwd:

[me@pc ~]$ mhwd

[...]

My questions are:

• What can I try to make it work?
• What even is the correct value in the config file for the “Identifier” parameter?
• If you need additional info, which?

All in all, I don’t really have any idea what I’m doing and appreciate any help. Thanks!

[cscs]

@oiqwcjbnopqw

For good measure, here is mhwd:

[me@pc ~]$ mhwd

Only tells us what mhwd provides automatically for your setup.
Not what you have. This will show us installed:

mhwd -li

@oiqwcjbnopqw

I wrote into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf file:

Section "Device"
     Identifier   "AMD Navi 10"
     Driver       "amdgpu"
     Option       "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

This looks correct, aside from the Identifier which could be correct, but I’ve always just used AMD.

You chopped up the output of inxi, but it would appear amdgpu is not being used:

@oiqwcjbnopqw

driver: X: loaded: modesetting

You can compare to mine which shows that section as

driver: X:
    loaded: amdgpu unloaded: modesetting

PS.
To provide more full system info, including kernels in use and more

inxi -Fazy

[oiqwcjbnopqw]

Oh, this looks not very good:

[me@pc ~]$ mhwd -li
Warning: config '/var/lib/mhwd/local/pci/video-linux/MHWDCONFIG' is invalid!
Warning: No installed PCI configs!
Warning: No installed USB configs!

@cscs

the Identifier which could be correct, but I’ve always just used AMD

I also tried it with just “AMD”, to no avail.

I will continue to chop up inxi outputs, but here is more info:

So far this all sounds like I have a completely different problem than I thought. Thank you very much so far, I’ll google around how to get amdgpu going in the first place.

[cscs]

That output is odd.
Something is wrong with mhwd.

I wonder if maybe a package is missing?

pacman -Qs mhwd

You could also try reinstalling/overwriting.

sudo pacman -Syu mhwd mhwd-db --overwrite '/var/lib/mhwd/*'

If/when mhwd is working again (mhwd -li), then we probably want to try and reinstall the video-linux profile.

sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-linux

This is aside, but if you want/need this its provided by upd72020x-fw in the AUR.

@oiqwcjbnopqw

$ mhwd -li

This is better I think.
Check available with

mhwd -l

We do probably want to do the install though (if not already installed then -f is not needed)

sudo mhwd -i pci video-linux

@oiqwcjbnopqw

error: command failed to execute correctly

This is due to errors in the generation. It complains more when triggered automatically.
But, after you do the above you can repeat it manually;

sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

So the install doesn’t work and why is mhwd even trying to install Intel stuff? My GPU is obviously AMD, as is my CPU. Is it worthwile to remove all the mentioned conflicting files manually and retry the install?

@oiqwcjbnopqw

community downloading...

You may have outdated configuration files in your system as the Community repo was merged into Extra about 8 months ago. Fix your pacnew files (pacdiff -o) & resync your pacman databases. It is harder to solve a problem like the one you are experiencing when your system is not up-to-date.

[cscs]

@oiqwcjbnopqw

exists in filesystem

Means you installed something from outside of the package manager somehow … a script, a driver from a website, etc.
This may have been part of your original problem.

There are a number of ways to remedy this, including removing those files first … but I do wonder what other paths may have been superseded by some sort of unsupported install.

(another approach would be another overwrite sudo pacman -Syu xf86-video-intel xf86-video-nouveau lib32-vulkan-intel --overwrite '/usr/*')

I suppose you Can just go forward dealing with these conflicts as they arise, but it would probably be best to figure out what was done in the first place so it can be thoroughly undone.

What @scotty65 says is also true, if not the direct issue right now.
To see more about pacnews please use the wiki or search, but heres a link

Why all these questions in the package manager asking if I want to keep the old instead of the new?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Pacnew_and_Pacsave MY advice is Continuing the discussion from Why is the community repo missing?: This recent post also includes some of the ‘easier’ options and additional hooks

[oiqwcjbnopqw]

Done, I overwrote a bunch of stuff and now community is gone.

This is fine, I guess, but why would I even need an Intel driver in the absence of Intel hardware?

How could I otherwise find out what the root problem is?

I can’t get to it right now, but I’ll try to provide some X.org log stuff later.

Thanks so much!

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so: file too short

So this indicates problems similar to above, but with a different package.

This is from xf86-video-ati, which is not actually the driver you want … but … I guess we should try to reinstall and overwrite more …

sudo pacman -Syu mhwd mhwd-db mhwd-ati mhwd-amdgpu xf86-video-ati xf86-video-amdgpu --overwrite '*'

[ what did you do? ]

@oiqwcjbnopqw

Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"

I also wonder whats in here.

[oiqwcjbnopqw]

This vmlinuz error comes up rather often lately…

Since I did mkinitcpio today, the irq screen error I always had changed, amazing. Something about “Failed to create object; AE already exists”.

[ what did you do? ]

When I build my PC five years ago, I let an acquainted Arch wonk set up the graphics, but it turned out to be a faulty GPU. I don’t know what he did. Since then I tried to behave like a normal user, but I might have tried to solve some problems like a bull in a china shop with regard to package management.

@cscs

I also wonder whats in here.

It’s rather boring, just keyboard config:

[me@pc ~]$ cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[me@pc xorg.conf.d]$ ls
00-keyboard.conf

After letting it rest over night, all my second monitor settings were gone but now it works? I swear I have already regularly rebooted while engaging this problem.

[me@pc ~]$ inxi -G

No screen tear (as promised by the archwiki for rotated displays by default)! Yay! You were amazing, thank you!

[cscs]

That looks better. Hurrah.
