does opensource amdgpu not function properly with "certain" monitors?
by WetFroggy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6NM85)
I apologize in advance if this is convoluted.
I recieved an amd 6800 as a gift, to replace my current 1070 ti. I did some initial checking, and I hoped things would go as smoothly as others suggested.
LEFT == LG 24mp67hq-p 1080p has d-sub & hdmi, using hdmi cable, directly into hdmi port on gpu.
RIGHT == LG 22mk430h-b 1080p has d-sub & hdmi, uses hdmi cable, into a hdmi2dp2 adaptor, into any convinent dp port on gpu.
old TR 1900x board - there is NO onboard vid, firmware is up-to-date.

up-to-date / patched slackware 15.0-stable
All previous proprietary drivers/kernel modules removed. Everything reverted back to "stock". Reinstalled mesa, xorg, xf86-video-amdgpu just incase.
Proprietary Quirks:
1. When I use the 1070, regardless of how the connections are made to the gpu, RIGHT is almost always detected first, for some reason.
2. The proprietary nvidia drivers shutoff the LEFT monitor until I get into a desktop.
Shut everything off, swapped the 1070 for the 6800. The 6800 seemed to run fine, started desktop, only RIGHT seemed to function.

DisplayPort-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DisplayPort-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-A-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)Strange. Can the gpu not "see" LEFT?
New test:
If I go no further than the bios (or whatever they call it now), do the monitors (albeit one at a time) work?
start up, test, shutdown, move cable/connector, repeat.
Answer:
BIOS sees both LEFT or RIGHT regardless of how they are connected. so the monitors (L/R) to cables to (any displayport adaptors) to gpu to motherboard part is fine.
Next Test:
When the bios tests complete, what happens next?
With both LEFT and RIGHT:only RIGHT stays on, LEFT blanks out, signal lost.
With only LEFT:blanks out, signal lost.
With only RIGHT: proceeds as normal.
Doesn't matter how they are connected, the results are the same.
It's not the cables doing this. the gpu .. no, gpu is fine with the LEFT monitor before linux loads.. so the kernel or the driver doesn't like the LEFT monitor?
HUH?
