I couldn't get an Image to begin with, so I removed the .conf as suggested. $ lspci | grep -i vega

Not really, but I've come to the conclusion that it might be an issue with EVDI itself since I couldn't get it to work properly on Ubuntu 18.04, so I created another issue over on their tracker. |
@nicoco007 Thanks a lot, I see you have the same Problems as I do ( like immense stuttering if only using the External Displays ) |
Hey @nicoco007 i don't know how this would work out on your end. |
What's your setup? I'm just getting a black screen or straight up crashes when trying to use Wayland. I don't even see the Wayland options on a clean install of Ubuntu 19.04, I have to downgrade to kernel 4.18 to see it. |
That's strange. It uses GDM3 where you can turn on Wayland on the LogIn screen ( there is a Cog somewhere... ) |
Weird. I don't get a cog on |
Nevermind, I must have done something wrong the first time because I just got it to work. Kind of weird it works so well since I'm pretty sure they don't actually support Wayland yet... |
Unfortunately that doesn't seem work on Kubuntu, most likely because KDE Plasma doesn't fully support Wayland yet :(
|
I wouldn't use Gdm3 either if it were not for the Touchscreen Experience 😆 |
I switched to Wayland and the framerate is around 50fps now |
Closing this issue due to inactivity. Please reopen this issue if it still persists. |
I have a related issue with vega10/rsyzen machine but opened a new issue here. |
I recently got a new laptop and finally got around to installing Kubuntu 19.04 on it. I tried running this script as I did on my old laptop (on which it worked flawlessly with Kubuntu up to 18.10, thanks for you great work!) and DisplayLink is able to find and show an image on my external monitor (an ASUS MB169B+, 1080p via USB 3.0) but unfortunately the image is very choppy, even when just the cursor is moving. The laptop screen itself stays smooth and there isn't an obvious reduction in peformance when the monitor is plugged in. CPU usage stays relatively low (reaches ~50% on one core when moving a window around on the external monitor).
Things I've tried:
monitor is detected but screen is completely black with no cursor (I guess that's progress?)eventually got it to work but the problem remainsAs mentionned in the title, my laptop has an AMD Ryzen 2500U APU with Vega 8 graphics.
Debug information:
Provider 2 appeared after I tried a few random things to fix the problem; it doesn't seem to affect anything at this point in time but it might be a good idea to figure out how to get rid of it.
Not sure if this is useful, but here's the output from the commands asked in #180:
I'm guessing it's something to do with the xorg configuration, but I have no idea where to start. Any ideas?
