Under a Wayland session my external monitor is detected however there’s nothing displayed on it just a black screen.
OS: Fedora 36
DE: GNOME 42
Nvidia driver: 510.68.02
Kernel: 5.17.6-300.fc36.x86_64
Laptop model: Acer Predator G3-571
iGPU: Intel HD 630
dGPU: Nvidia GTX 1060
HDMI is wired to the GTX 1060 and internal screen is wired to iGPU (muxless design).
Hi, same problem here.
OS: Fedora 36
DE: GNOME 42
Nvidia driver: 510.68.02
Kernel: 5.17.5-300.fc36.x86_64
Laptop model: HP Omen 15
iGPU: Intel Mesa
dGPU: Nvidia GTX 2060
OS: Fedora 36
DE: GNOME 42
Nvidia driver: 510.68.02
Kernel: 5.17.6-300.fc36.x86_64
Laptop model: Nitro AN515-44 V1.04
iGPU: AMD ATI 05:00.0 Renoir
dGPU: Nvidia GTX 1650 (TU117M)
HDMI is wired to the GTX 1650 and internal screen is wired to iGPU.
UPDATE: In fact, Wayland doesn’t work at all, even with the built-in display only, it falls back to AMD Renoir Driver, as shown by GNOME’s about dialog, which says Graphics: AMD RENOIR / AMD RENOIR
We were able to duplicate issue locally and filed a bug 3644077 internally for tracking purpose.
Shall keep posted with further updates.
Wonderful news @amrits , much appreciated! I will be the happiest guy on earth if I can finally fully use my laptop with an external monitor and Wayland =D
Just a quick update: just upgraded the driver on Fedora to 510.68.02 and, to my surprise, I was able to enable Wayland and use my external display! =D \o/
Still confused with GNOME’s “about” dialog that still shows Graphics: AMD RENOIR / AMD RENOIR. Also, Firefox’s about:support page shows:
Window Protocol wayland
...
GPU #1
Active Yes
Description AMD RENOIR (LLVM 14.0.0, DRM 3.44, 5.17.11-300.fc36.x86_64)
...
GPU #2
Active No
Vendor ID 0x10de
Device ID 0x1f99
Even though PrimaryDisplay: yes is set on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf.
Is this the expected behavior?
EDIT: unfortunately, windows/screen sharing doesn’t work on Wayland, which is a huge no-go for me, because of the countless work meetings :-(
Another update, just for the record: I did manage to enable screen/window sharing on Wayland, it turned out I had to specifically enable support both on Firefox (installing the firefox-wayland package and setting an experimental flag on Chrome). Once it is done, the process to choose what to share is very cumbersome (you have to go through GNOME’s sharing permission dialog, sometimes more than once), but it works.
So, I’ll stick to Wayland as long as I can. We’re moving forward, and this is very exciting!
BTW I just upgraded to the 515.57 driver, everything working so far
I have the next setup
OS: Archlinux
DE: GNOME 43.alpha and GNOME 42
Nvidia driver: 515.57
Laptop model: MSI GS63 Stealth 8RE
iGPU: Intel Mesa
dGPU: Nvidia GTX 1060
lspci:
➜ lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] (rev a1)
My laptop has two display connectors:
The problem is that I got the laptop display and the small external display (connected via the miniDisplayPort) working, but the display connected via HDMI is blank in wayland. On X11 all the three displays work as expected.
As you can see, gnome-control-center can view all the monitors but no output on the HDMI connected display.
If I go back to nouveau driver all three displays work but with awful performance.
Ok, I got it to work loading the nvidia-drm kernel module.
But the performance on the external displays is awful
That’s CPU copy, at this point just use Windows 11 like I do 😎
