Please help problem with amd external gpu, xserver doesn't load

Peal · March 27, 2024, 12:37pm

i have a razer core x with rx 5700 xt inside

when i reboot the machine with the egpu connected via thunderbolt port, it doesn’t load xserver, there is no graphical login screen, sddm not running. I can still log in on the console just fine.

And if i plug out the thunderbolt port, xserver starts ok, everything is ok.

I put these in my configuration.nix

 boot = {
    kernelParams = [ "udev.log_level=3" ];
    initrd = {
      kernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ];
    };
  };
  services.xserver = {
    enable = true;
    videoDrivers = [ "amdgpu" ];
  };
  services.hardware.bolt.enable = true;
  hardware = {
    opengl = {
      enable = true;
      package = pkgs.mesa.drivers;
      driSupport = true;
      driSupport32Bit = true;
      package32 = pkgs.pkgsi686Linux.mesa.drivers;
    };
  };

output of lscpi -k recognizes that i have the amd card, with the correct kernel module

Try journalctl --list-boots and read the boot log when it doesn’t properly launch xserver it’ll most likely offer some clues as to why xserver is having trouble.

Never seen it but it errors on what’s encountered here, no? https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/xorg-doesn’t-start-after-mesa-19-1-1-update-no-unwind-info-found-error-4175656401/ strange that it all works if you plug it back in

I found a config that works, the problem is, since it creates a new xorg.conf and use it instead of the nixos-generated one, no keyboard or mouse is usable, all the other services.xserver configs in my configuration is meaningless

The said config: The Struggle to get Thunderbolt eGPU to output to its display at all in NixOS

rjpc · March 28, 2024, 12:47pm

ah, glad you got it figured out…and thanks for helping me learn about eGPUs!

Peal · March 29, 2024, 3:58am

in the process, i noticed that xrandr --listproviders does not give me a provider, which is really weird since my igpu works, there’s output to screen just fine.

and I’m still struggling with the egpu since, in the thread i mentioned, they have successfully got the gpu running and output, but not mouse or keyboard.

my igpu is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)

xrandr --listproviders                                                                                                                                                                                           
Providers: number : 0

Peal · April 2, 2024, 2:49am

I think the reason why xrandr --listproviders gives me no provider is because I’m using hyprland.

This is my alternative approach, however, I was not successful. I booted up with this config fine, but it stop when it suppose to show SDDM log in screen.

It shows a black screen instead.

But other than that, there is no crash, xserver loaded fine (i guess?).

Here’s the config:
I use Radeon RX 5700 XT as my egpu, and hyprland

{lib, pkgs, ...}: {

  services.hardware.bolt.enable = true;
  boot = {
    # Ensure module for external graphics is loaded
    initrd.kernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ];
  
    kernelParams = [
      "amdgpu.pcie_gen_cap=0x40000"
      "udev.log_level=3"
    ];
  };
  # Use external graphics
  services.xserver = {
    videoDrivers = [ "amdgpu" "modesetting"];
    # Load amdgpu first
    serverLayoutSection = ''
      Screen "Screen-amdgpu"
    '';
    # add section for amdgpu because it doesn't overwrite amdgpu[0] for some reason
    config = lib.mkAfter ''
      Section "Device"
        Identifier "Device-amdgpu"
        Driver     "amdgpu" 
        BusID      "PCI:06:00:0"
        Option     "AllowExternalGpus" "True"
        Option     "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
      EndSection

      Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen-amdgpu"
        Device "Device-amdgpu"
      EndSection
    '';
  };
  hardware = { 
    opengl = {
      enable = true;
      driSupport = true;

Please help me I have no idea what to do now…

Peal · April 2, 2024, 3:00am

What i want is the egpu is used when i plug it in, and igpu when i’m not plug in my egpu. That’s why i added

serverLayoutSection = ''
      Screen "Screen-amdgpu"
'';

This adds Screen "Screen-amdgpu" which i will define later on with config = lib.mkAfter '' at the very first of Section "ServerLayout"

since X server is (I’m guessing) going to try each in turn?

Am i doing this correct?

rjpc · April 2, 2024, 3:30am

does it work? I can’t speak to the correctness as I don’t have your setup. But it looks OK to me

rjpc · April 2, 2024, 3:31am

also are you using xwayland or whatnot? what’s xserver doing when wayland is involved?

Peal · April 2, 2024, 4:26am

It shows a black screen where it is suppose to be SDDM log in screen. It’s like there is no output at all.
I think xserver works but it doesnt seem to output to my screen.

I don’t know how to check this

I have xwayland enable, if my understanding is correct then

programs.hyprland = {
      enable = true;
      xwayland.enable = true;
      package = inputs.hyprland.packages.${pkgs.system}.hyprland;
    };

rjpc · April 2, 2024, 6:03pm

Sorry, I can’t help here. xorg configs beyond the simple always confused me when they didn’t work. At least there are no overt errors so maybe it’ll be simple in the end

Peal · April 3, 2024, 2:06am

at this point I’m desperate for any solution that you might have. I’m willing to test them all

Peal · April 3, 2024, 2:12am

Full log : pastebin
a thing that i noticed is that

[    72.435] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2]   DRI driver: radeonsi
[    72.435] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2]   VDPAU driver: radeonsi

but later it changed to

[    72.523] (II) modeset(1): [DRI2]   DRI driver: iris
[    72.523] (II) modeset(1): [DRI2]   VDPAU driver: va_gl

Is it perhaps using both AMDGPU and modesetting? or was I misunderstood it?

Is that a good sign or a bad sign? I honestly don’t know

[    72.440] (WW) AMDGPU(0): Option "AllowExternalGpus" is not used
[    72.440] (WW) AMDGPU(0): Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" is not used

And the AllowExternalGpus option is also not used

Although according to arch wiki, it is required for proprietary NVIDIA driver, but I’m using AMD so i guess that’s fine?

and this

[    72.404] (II) modeset(1): using drv /dev/dri/card1
[    72.404] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting

/dev/dri/card1 is my AMD gpu, so why is it using modesetting
And I don’t see any log that AMDGPU uses /dev/dri/card1 too

I’m lost

Peal · April 27, 2024, 6:04am

I just wanna clarify that i wanna use my egpu to output to intergrated laptop screen

I connected the egpu directly to my thunderbolt 4 port on the laptop, and no external monitor

Tested on windows, the hardware is fine, no problem whatsoever with the egpu

fsbof · June 29, 2024, 12:25am

@Peal, just wondering if you reached a good solution? I looked at this post when I first started setting up my Thunderbolt eGPU (NVidia). Not sure if this helps, but this is how I got mine running. Be interested to compare notes with someone else running an eGPU. Cheers.
