Second screen not working with amd gpu

Help
1

Hello everyone,

in first i want to apologize for my english, it isn’t my natural language.

I’m in nixOs since 2 month yet, swaping from arch linux. I have learn a lot, but i still can’t make my second computer work.

I have follow this guide without any success.

At 2 moment without changing anything, the second screen just start to work then stop.

Here is the relevant part of my config :

service.xserver.videoDrivers = ["amdgpu"]
boot = {
    kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;

    initrd.kernelModules = ["amdgpu"];

    kernelParams = with host; [
      "video=${mainMonitor}:1920x1080@60"
      "video=${secondMonitor}:1920x1080@60"
    ];
  };

   hardware = {
    pulseaudio.enable = true;
    opengl = {
      enable = true;
      extraPackages = with pkgs; [
        rocm-opencl-icd
        rocm-opencl-runtime
        amdvlk
      ];
      driSupport = true;
      #package = unstable.mesa.drivers;
      driSupport32Bit = true;
      #package32 = unstable.pkgsi686Linux.mesa.drivers;
    };
  };

The output of the command head /sys/class/drm/*/status :

==> /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/status <==
connected

==> /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status <==
disconnected

The output of lscpi :

I am on Wayland and had a similar issue, my 2nd monitor was not working at all.

I opened up a terminal and simply issued the following:

xrandr \
--output DP-1 --auto --crtc 0 \
--output HDMI-1 --auto --crtc 1 --right-of DP-1

And since that time it works all the time. Doesn’t mean it will work for you, but it’s super easy to try.
In your situation, you have to adapt DP and HDMI and make sure of the crtc numbers. Unfortunately, I forgot how I got that info. :frowning:

Unfortunatly xrandr dont found hdmi-1 at all :
