DP is supported but the DP Audio may be problematic until Linux Kernel 4.15. As far as MST, there is a thread about this right now. A user is using a RX 580 with the two HDMI ports and one DP connected to a 3way MST hub.
IT will all depend on the cables and the bandwidth that you are trying to pump through the DP.
On my main computer Iām running Linux Mint 18.2 and Windows 10 in dual boot, and while i wait for the prices of the graphics cards to go down Iām using the integrated Intel HD 630 to drive my 3 monitors (two 24" FullHd and a cheap 10ā¬ 17"), it all worked perfectly fine, but a few days ago got an āintel-microcodeā update on Linux Mint (probably to fix that spectre/meltdown mess) and since then the 17" monitor that was in portrait is not usable anymore (with Linux, on Windows10 it still works fine).
In the control panel it is recognized but when i try to activate it and set it in portrait mode as it was before i get this error:
GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2: could not set the configuration for CRTC 65
I use Linux as my main OS, and i know that when Iāll buy a dedicated graphics card the problem will go away but still this issue is a bit disturbingā¦
Yes, I have checked their hardware manager application and installed that. No, that did not solve my issue.
Yes, I did search for Broadcom and Broadcom-wl and install any and everything, with reboots in between. No, that did not solve my issue.
Yes, I have read the Solus forums, and the solution seems to be to purchase a WiFi adapter, lol no thanks. Iāll use the 1,000s of other distros where WiFi works perfectly out of the box or with minimal configuration.
I like Budgie and eopkg, but this prevents me from using the distro. That and no (seemingly) stable UEFI installation without some serious h@x.
Any tips? Going to try another 15 minutes or so and throw Kubuntu back on.
After a couple of screen locks, the behavior in the video occurs upon waking the screen. This is fairly mild compared to other distros, but I thought Iād document it nonetheless.
This happens on every distro, much less frequently on Ubuntu 18.04 and it has only happened twice so far on Solus, which is as infrequent as it has ever been.
So with Solus and Ubuntu 18.04, Iād say it happens every 20 - 50 unlocks. With Debian, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu 16.04, this happens all the time. In Debian, it happens when I connect to WiFi and open Terminal too quickly. Have to close the laptop to get it to stop, even then it doesnāt always stop until I reboot.
I can duplicate it pretty regularly by locking the screen and waiting a few seconds. As you can see above, once I log into Solus it stops.
But, why does it happen, and why does it happen on every Linux distro I use?
Does not happen on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, Iāve tested to verify itās not the screen or iGPU.
Iāve got a somewhat similar-ish issue with Fedora. System is a Latitude E7440. Happens very sporadically. Been a couple weeks since it happened last. Only way to get it to stop is to put the computer to sleep, and that doesnāt always stop it.
