Hi guys, brief intro. I'm finally compiling my own kernels and kicking serious ass. Applying patches, making my own script, all that good stuff.
I noticed one thing. When amdgpu is built-in (not as a module), I get major problems. The most obvious is multi-monitor support no longer works and it's just an half-ass experience. In GNOME's Settings, it'll say Unknown Monitor. There could be other issues, but that's the glaring one.
Recompiling the kernel and changing it back to a module (instead of built-in), and everything is back to normal. Happens on both the latest 4.17 kernel (4.17.11) and 4.18 (-rc7).
Any ideas? bridgman, have you experienced this by any chance? Thanks again. I have an AMD RX 480 for reference.
EDIT: Sorry, meant to put this in Open-Source AMD Linux.
