[Bug 1792822] Re: Dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1) on a dual-radeon-GPU system
I was able to solve the problem, by switching GPU-driver. "Software & Updates" -> "Additional Drivers" - I switched from: "Using X.Org X server - Nouveau display driver" to the NVIDIA-435. Perhaps this is only specific to my setup, by powering monitors from GPU as well as motherboard.

[Bug 1792822] Re: Dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1) on a dual-radeon-GPU system
Hi, I'm seeing this error as well. The last frame shown while logging in freezes on the second monitor and only the cursor updates. I have enabled iGPU Multi-Monitor for my ASUS motherboard, which enabled me to connect one monitor through the motherboard and one through my GPU - the one connected to the GPU is the one that freezes.

Re: [Bug 1792822] Re: dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1)
Hi Daniel, I tried with uncommenting WaylandEnabled=false earlier. Then the login screen remains totally Black on both monitors. Had to restore by disabling gdm and using lightdm again.

[Bug 1792822] Re: dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1)
It sounds like this problem may be limited to Wayland sessions (which includes the login screen). Please try this workaround next time you install 18.04: Ctrl+Alt+F4, log in, edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment the line: #WaylandEnable=false Then reboot. ** Tags added: multi-monit radeon ** Tags removed: multi-monit ** Tags added: multi-monitor ** Summary changed: - dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1) + Dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1) on a dual-radeon-GPU system ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => mutter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792822 Title: Dual monitor not working in 18.04(.1) on a dual-radeon-GPU system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1792822/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
