Manjaro fails to recognize iGPU display during GPU usage.
Manjaro fails to recognize iGPU display during GPU usage.
Hey, I installed Manjaro yesterday and have been working on setting it up. I’m still trying to figure out how to turn on my second monitor connected to the iGPU. I checked various sources, but most advice was for laptops using Bumblebee, which doesn’t seem to help with desktops. Could you give me more details about your setup? I’m a beginner with Linux and need guidance on what information would be useful here.
No dual graphics available for desktop. Options are delicate or integrated.
They’re functioning well together on your desktop setup. Both your iGPU and dedicated GPU are working harmoniously. Bumblebee supports desktops but has some limitations (for example, you can’t fully shut down discrete graphics with 'bbswitch'). You’re using either the proprietary NVIDIA driver or the open-source Nouveau driver. To confirm, run `sudo pacman -Qs nvidia`—it should list available versions like local/nvidia 396.54-2. Also, share the output of `xrandr` if you’d like to see the current display settings.
Hey, thanks for the reply. Here's what I get from the command: $ sudo pacman -Qs nvidia ; [sudo] password for seishin: local/bumblebee 3.2.1-20 NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux through Primus/VirtualGL local/lib32-nvidia-utils 1:396.54-2 NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit) local/libvdpau 1.1.1+3+ga21bf7a-1 Nvidia VDPAU library local/linux414-nvidia 1:396.54-2 (linux414-extramodules) NVIDIA drivers for linux. local/linux418-nvidia 1:396.54-1 (linux418-extramodules) NVIDIA drivers for linux. local/mhwd-nvidia 1:396.54-1 MHWD module-ids for nvidia 396.54 local/mhwd-nvidia-340xx 340.107-1 MHWD module-ids for nvidia 340.107 local/mhwd-nvidia-390xx 390.77-1 MHWD module-ids for nvidia 390.77 local/nvidia-utils 1:396.54-2 NVIDIA drivers utilities Here's a screenshot of my video drivers just in case. Spoiler I did install Bumblebee before but, I couldn't figure out how to use it. Here's what I get from Arandr: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767 DVI-D-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 527mm x 296mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 59.94 50.00 60.00 50.04 1680x1050 59.95 1440x900 59.89 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1280x960 60.00 1280x720 60.00 59.94 50.00 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 800x600 75.00 72.19 60.32 56.25 720x576 50.00 720x480 59.94 640x480 75.00 72.81 59.94 59.93 DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) My main monitor is connected to the GPU with HDMI and, my secondary (which isn't detected at all) is connected to the iGPU via D-Sub. Sadly my secondary screen only has D-Sub so I can't connect it to my graphics card.
It seems the drivers are correctly installed but the Xrandr isn't recognizing the VGA/D-sub port. You may need to manually add your Intel card to the Xorg settings. Start by checking the $ lspci output, focusing on the relevant section. Then, edit the configuration file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf using nano (or any terminal editor). Replace the bolded text with the appropriate value from the lspci result. Be aware of the driver name and ensure the correct driver is specified. After saving, restart your system to verify detection of the iGPU output. If needed, enable SSH for further troubleshooting.
It looks like your iGPU is being recognized as a display controller rather than a VGA compatible one. The system shows details about the Intel Xeon E3-1200 processor, PCI and USB connections, and even mentions a Sunrise Point-H graphics card. You’re using Manjaro, which you mentioned prefers it for its stability, though it doesn’t support multiple monitors well.
I work on Arch Linux but Manjaro shares similarities, so I'm uncertain if this would resolve the problem. The issue with the display adapter being labeled as "Display controller" shouldn't impact anything, likely due to differences in the newer chipset. Can you verify there are no vga= or nomodeset entries in your kernel parameters? Since you're using Manjaro, it's probable you're running GRUB. Open /etc/default/grub with root and check for lines like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="parameters rw quiet etc". Within those quotes, ensure there are no parameters resembling vga=0x31b or nomodeset. If found, delete them and regenerate your GRUB config with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. After that, restore the 20-intel.conf file and reboot. Finally, test xrandr and KDE's display settings to confirm a monitor is detected.
Okay so, even after doing all that I still can't get it to show up but , interestingly enough when I boot from the live CD the secondary display shows up just fine (as DP-5) and works flawlessly. So, now I'm even more confused. I think I'll try to reinstall the whole thing and see if that fixes it. Alright, I figured it out. So I reinstalled Manjaro with the driver option "free" instead of the "nonfree" and both my monitors work now. When I unplug my secondary display from the iGPU it turns off so, that should mean that it uses that and not some virtual desktop which is great. In hindsight, I probably could have just disabled the Nvidia drivers and rebooted and my problem would have been solved but too late now.
