Kernel config file - Same config used for 6.6.3 and 6.6.4

I have a Radeon PRO WX 3200 video card with four monitors attached, running on a TRX40-PRO S motherboard.


Everything works fine on kernel 6.6.3.  On kernel 6.6.4, only the main monitor displays any video, and it's at an extremely low resolution.


I will attach the kernel config file and dmesg output for both kernels as well as dmidecode output.

In case it's relevant the boot line is:

$ cat /proc/cmdline 
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.6.3 root=UUID=a2be5fbe-39ea-450e-add9-6c1b1d76f917 ro quiet systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 pcie_aspm=off amdgpu.dc=0

For 6.6.4, same thing but with /boot/vmlinuz-6.6.4.

Please report here:

Would be nice if you performed regression testing:

Does remmoving amdgpu.dc=0 from your kernel command line fix the issue?
Comment 7 Dianne Skoll 2023-12-07 15:19:44 UTC
Hi,

Removing amdgpu.dc=0 did not help.

I'm doing git bisect now and will report back when it finds the bad commit.

Regards,

Dianne.

Ugh, RESOLVED.  Sorry.

In an attempt to get Blender GPU acceleration working, I'd installed some packages from the closed-source AMD driver repo.  Those were the problem.  Once I removed them, everything works fine.

So in summary: Kernel 6.6.4 is fine.  It was user error.  Apologies.

Regards,

Dianne.
