demmm commented 9 years ago

Does Centos have something like "inxi F" and "hwinfo --gfxcard"? Would be good to know what kernel, xorg-server version and xrandr. It could just be build or configuration settings......

dance707 commented 9 years ago

yes the have a hwinfo under epel repo trying to find it

demmm commented 9 years ago

OK, hwinfo is great, please post the above asked, and add: hwinfo --all | grep Linux hwinfo --all | grep Driver

dance707 commented 9 years ago

sorry my mind drawing a blank, its similar to hwinfo trying to find it

xrandr --version xrandr program version 1.4.0 Server reports RandR version 1.4

kernel is a modified kernel, I don't think fedora is modified 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7

that is all I found so far I will post more when i find the right prog or commands

dance707 commented 9 years ago

demmm commented 9 years ago

All versions are different, so no clear indication there. That kernel though, 3.10 is available in KaOS as linux-lts, please install that one, see if it makes any difference: http://kaosx.us/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69

dance707 commented 9 years ago

I know fedora 20 worked okay as well. And the use a more current version of linux kernel. So I doubt it as to do with the kernel. I can try 3.10 later when it slows down enough to take the system down. also fedora as always talked about dual head graphic support, centos 5 had it then they dropped it in centos 6 and started again in centos 7.

dance707 commented 9 years ago

I also would like to point out for possible clues is after setting xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0, My system is acting just like it does with the latest opensuse and current ubuntu . Previous versions of opensuse and ubuntu would only show 2 monitors. Also with centos 7 or fedora when not doing a live install. like full dvd or minimal. It only displays 4 monitors on a live install. What puzzles me is list providers = 3 are they using the second provider twice ?

demmm commented 9 years ago

"only displays 4...."? How many should the live session show then? Or how many does the live session show?

Yes, it will be needed to get the second card to offload twice, that is the issue now.

dance707 commented 9 years ago

only with a live dvd or cd will display 4 monitors , If i use there full dvd or minimal cd , instead of live dvd only 3 monitors

dance707 commented 9 years ago

so the live mediums are doing more hardware detection

dance707 commented 9 years ago

only displays 4 means it only works correctly

demmm commented 9 years ago

I have not read anywhere yet how it is done to offload twice with xrandr, it clearly must be possible, otherwise Centos wouldn't show 3 under listproviders.

dance707 commented 9 years ago

this link is for nivida but my have clues http://negativo17.org/complex-setup-with-nvidia-optimus-nouveau-prime-on-fedora-20/

dance707 commented 9 years ago

and this paragraph in the link For reasons I don’t understand the Nvidia card appears twice in 2 different but identical providers:

$ xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 3 Provider 0: id: 0x96 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 2 associated providers: 2 name:Intel Provider 1: id: 0x66 cap: 0x7, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 5 associated providers: 2 name:nouveau Provider 2: id: 0x66 cap: 0x7, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 5 associated providers: 2 name:nouveau

dance707 commented 9 years ago

looks like they use the this : $ xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink $ DRI_PRIME=

$ xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 0x55 0x7b $ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep OpenGL

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1033903

dance707 commented 9 years ago

$ xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink $ DRI_PRIME=

demmm commented 9 years ago

DRI_PRIME is for hybrid cards, not multiple monitors, unrelated (so you can select intel as the only driver for power savings, or nvidia/ati for more demanding tasks)

dance707 commented 9 years ago

would this command work though ?

Now xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 0x55 0x7b works fine

demmm commented 9 years ago

You mean you have all 4 monitors working?

dance707 commented 9 years ago

no thats what it said in the log then he got his 3 providers back

dance707 commented 9 years ago

xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink

dance707 commented 9 years ago

i guess git hub does not like some symbols used

demmm commented 9 years ago

The numbers are just the ID of the cards you get from "xrandr --listproviders" You can use the actula ID, or use 1 and 0 At times the actual ID works better, also try to reverse the cards, if one ID combination doesn't work, so instead of 1 0 (or corresponding ID), use 0 1

demmm commented 9 years ago

Use the code tag in markdown for symbols, or stop by in IRC , KaOS is in freenode 

#kaosx
dance707 commented 9 years ago

how is setprovideroffloadsink different from setprovideroutputsource ?

demmm commented 9 years ago

As said that is all for hybrids gfx, using one or the other for different tasks

demmm commented 9 years ago

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man1/xrandr.1.html#contenttoc3

demmm commented 9 years ago

I think I found it: https://freedesktop.org/patch/14207/ This patch has been used by fedora since 2013, not available in the xorg-server 1.16.4, but is merged into the 1.17.1 branch, see the line in the patch for pixman.c, line 168 for example: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/dix/pixmap.c?h=server-1.17-branch

Plan was to wait for xorg 1.17.2 before moving to it in KaOS, because there are too many regressions so far in 1.17, vesa for example is currently broken, so 1.16.4 is the better option.

I can try to use this patch on 1.16.4, won't upload to the regular repos, until it is tested as actually bringing full multiple monitor support. If you are willing to test, then I can upload that build for you on the sourceforge KaOS page.

dance707 commented 9 years ago

yes I would like to test it

dance707 commented 9 years ago

Full monitor support. That would make a lot of users in the linux community very happy. So many have given up and gone back to older versions of microsoft windows.

demmm commented 9 years ago

Please test:

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.us/repo/build/xorg-server-1.16.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
dance707 commented 9 years ago

okay it installed , and I rebooted just fine. should I try the commands yet ?

demmm commented 9 years ago

yes

dance707 commented 9 years ago

same as before have output on screen 3 but not screen 4

dance707 commented 9 years ago

or I can have output on screen 4 but not scree 3

dance707 commented 9 years ago

I just booted opensuse live 13.2 and listed providers and there is 3 providers just like fedora

dance707 commented 9 years ago

all 4 display are enabled in kde display settings . But I see no output on monitor 4

dance707 commented 9 years ago

That confuses me, so maybe the answer is not just providers ?

dance707 commented 9 years ago

I not sure if i am supposed to have four displays or not in opensuse or maybe just a max of 3 unless you do it the special redhat way

dance707 commented 9 years ago

Also a possible my video cards are too old or it does not like ati to do it the opensuse or ubuntu way.

dance707 commented 9 years ago

Hi Demm : new information. I tried Manjaro KDE 0.9.0-pre5 edition live usb and after doing a xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 I can get all four displays working at the same time with kde control panel

As said before, and looking at the only obvious difference, it might be new xorg-server 1.17 is the fix. But 1.17.1 has too many regressions at this point to add to the repo for just supporting 4 monitors, broken vesa for example effects way more users. As soon as 1.17.2 is available, KaOS will move to that version.

dance707 commented 8 years ago

I decided to try again and the latest KaOS 2015.11 , and it does work on all 4 monitors after a xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 xrandr --output DVI-1-2 --auto --right-of DVI-1 xrandr --output DVI-1-3 --auto --right-of DVI-1-2 though the performance is poor after the fourth monitor is enabled.

dance707 commented 8 years ago

I am not sure if something different was done or if it will revert back to 3 monitors only, after a monthly update like manjaro did. Through the ABS I added lxqt desktop to KaOS and the performance is just fine. So at this point I am convinced the performance is a kde problem because 2 other long term distros work fine using xfce or lxqt but not kde4 or plasma5 version, (after the fourth monitor is enabled) I was hoping a 64 bit qt version of plasma would be the answer but i guess not.

demmm commented 8 years ago

Then I think this bug report can be closed, 4 monitors can be connected, but upstream issues in KDE prevent it from working as expected. Best open an issue in KDE for this, nothing that can be done here. This needs a change in Plasma/Frameworks. And there are no "monthly updates" here, this distro is continuously rolling (not based on any other distro either). Reopen if you feel this is a KaOS only issue.
