Title:
Ubuntu sees duplicate display for each graphics card on Macbook Pro
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
After booting Ubuntu in BIOS mode on my machine for years, I just
switched over to EFI boot. The reason for which I switched is that, on
this machine, Ubuntu cannot detect the integrated GPU under BIOS boot.
Ubuntu now recognizes both integrated and discrete GPU on my machine,
but it also seems to think I have two monitors.
Expected Behavior: Ubuntu properly recognizes that both graphics cards
are in fact controlling the same display
Actual Behavior: Ubuntu thinks I have two displays (each being
controlled by a separate card?). If I navigate to the "Devices >
Displays" section of the settings app, then Ubuntu lists two "Built in
Displays," and offers options to "Join Displays," mirror them, etc.
I have created a question on AskUbuntu
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/1103696/ubuntu-duplicates-display-
for-each-graphics-card-fresh-install) detailing this issue; it
presents much of the same information in this bug report, along with
several images.
I have also discovered a similar thread from three years ago
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/582574/my-macbook-has-two-built-in-
displays) suggesting that I am not the only Macbook user to suffer
from this issue. The user in said thread worked around this issue by
powering off his iGPU. I would like to set up graphics switching in
the future, so this is not an option for me. In any case, I have
tested his "solution" and it DOES NOT work on my machine (I also don't
have a /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo folder like he apparently does)
