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:

Comment 6 Alex Deucher 2023-12-07 15:02:08 UTC
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.
Comment 8 Dianne Skoll 2023-12-07 18:14:23 UTC
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.
