 Luke | amdgpu? | 20:22:01 |
| Luke | I think? | 20:22:04 |
 K900 | Do you have services.xserver.videoDrivers set to anything? | 20:22:29 |
| Luke | Yeah:
xserver = {
enable = true;
xkb.layout = "us";
videoDrivers = [
"amdgpu"
"radeonsi"
];
displayManager.startx = {
enable = true;
};
desktopManager = {
xterm.enable = false;
};
windowManager.bspwm.enable = true;
};
| 20:23:02 |
| K900 | Delete this | 20:23:13 |
| K900 | Just entirely | 20:23:17 |
| K900 | Then rebuild and reboot | 20:23:21 |
| Luke | I am running bspwm with a userspace config | 20:23:49 |
| Luke | Deleting this and rebuilding will remove my desktop environment? | 20:24:06 |
| K900 | No, delete videoDrivers | 20:24:13 |
| K900 | Keep everything else | 20:24:15 |
| Luke | Ah gotcha | 20:24:19 |
| Luke | Will do and report back | 20:24:27 |
| Luke | K900: any concern about these excerpts?

| 20:26:30 |
| K900 | Remove boot.kernelModules = ["radeonsi"] | 20:26:59 |
| K900 | It's unised | 20:27:01 |
| K900 | * It's unused | 20:27:03 |
| K900 | You may want to also remove rocm stuff because I don't think that even supports Vega anymore | 20:27:13 |
| Luke | sounds good - I didn't think I needed it but it has been in my kernel modules for a long enough time that I have forgotten what it is for lmao | 20:27:50 |
| Luke | Well, the names of my output targets have changed in xrandr but still at 95Hz | 20:33:22 |

| K900 | What does xrandr --list-outputs say? | 20:38:45 |
| Luke | That isn't an option? | 20:40:17 |
| Luke | But | 20:40:46 |

| 20:41:24 |
| K900 | Can you try a Wayland compositor? | 20:41:58 |
| K900 | Like Sway or something if you want minimal | 20:42:03 |
| Luke | Sure, quickest setup? | 20:42:10 |
| K900 | nix-shell -p sway and then sway from a TTY | 20:42:22 |
