I tried installing bumblebee after seeing a post on the arch forums about it fixing an issue I had.
I quickly realized that it wouldn't run as I don't have integrated graphics, but after removing the package and rebooting X fails to start, saying that there are no screens found
my graphics card is the AMD ATI Radeon rx 6400 xt

this is very similar to an issue I had installing my 6600 xt, which version of the drivers are you using
gritty dragon
? just mesa
sleek forge
lemme walk back a few steps sorry
my issue specifically was, the DM would load (sddm, lightdm, whatever) and then X crashed on loadin with a lot of output about fence errors and at one point X thinking I had 4 monitors (I have one)
I ultimately installed mesa/lib32-mesa/xf86-video-amdgpu git repos from the AUR and set amdgpu.runpm=0, one of which (or the combo) seems to have addressed the issue
gritty dragon
i'm installing mesa-git, i'll see if that does anything
is the runpm thing a kernel param
sleek forge
yeah, i loaded it in via modprobe instead of passing it in the bootloader, but it shouldn't necessarily matter which way it's passed I would imagine
dmesg was all filled with fence errors and gpu resets and failed to initialize parser -125
gritty dragon
mesa-git didn't seem to do anything, this is dmesg | grep gpu
neither did the kernel param thing
heres the error that shows up
sleek forge
what's in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
actually, did bumblebee install some phantom nvidia drivers that didn't get deleted
gritty dragon
maybe, the log file is mentioning nvidia
i can't tell if thats an old log file or not
sleek forge
if it's the current boot it should be the current log
gritty dragon
ok yeah theres a lot about nvidia
sleek forge
there may be some stray nvidia config information in the xorg.conf.d areas
gritty dragon
no nvidia drivers are installed through pacman but
sleek forge
I switched from nvidia to amd radeon and this exact issue with X frustrated me no end
gritty dragon
weston seems to launch just fine
sleek forge
did you reinstall the xf86-video-amdgpu drivers
gritty dragon
i have the git version of that package installed yeah
sleek forge
ok good
gritty dragon
wait
i think i might have ran nvidia-xconf by mistake while i was messing with things
sleek forge
yeah that will always throw things off
gritty dragon
should i nuke the xorg.conf or the whole x11 folder? will it regenerate
sleek forge
just xorg.conf and any in xorg.conf.d that have nvidia mentions
also check /usr/share/X11 as well, though there shouldn't be anything there
gritty dragon
deleting xorg.conf fixed it, thanks
i had like 3 separate problems with the system just this day lol
sleek forge
lol
gritty dragon
now i need to revert all the things i broke desparately running random commands
sleek forge
I put together this computer a week or two ago and the ONLY issue I have had is getting video drivers working
