Specs:
- Kubuntu 18.04 LTS, Kernel 5.0
- Dell XPS 8380
- Razor Core X eGPU using AMD RX 580
I’ve been using my eGPU for gaming using DRI_PRIME for a while now and have tried to setup VFIO but I think this bug is preventing it from working for me. I’ve been able to get vfio-pci driver working for my eGPU audio but not video despite them being in the same IOMMU group and binding both. And I think this is because I’m forced to plug in my eGPU post-boot.
Both monitors work completely fine if I plug in the eGPU later but if it’s plugged in during the ~5 second boot sequence then both monitors will remain black. The second monitor is connected to my laptop via a USB hub rather than via eGPU which may be worthy of note.
