i could try installing Manjaro Gnome then...

Yeah, that or plasma

so i just installed manjaro cinnamon edition just to try it, and immediately i'm having problems.

 

my pc specs are in my signature.

 

i usually have 1 display connected to the gtx 1050, and 1 to the 780Ti. the issue here is that the display connected to the 1050 is disabled, and if i configure it in nvidia-settings and save the configuration to the xorg file and reboot it's still disabled.

 

also, i'm getting bad screen tearing in firefox, even though i have force full copmposition pipeline on in nvidia-settings.

 

nvidia driver version: 396.54

i also just noticed nvidia-settings doesn't save anything if i reboot.

 

it reset the force full composition pipeline and the digital vibrance settings once i rebooted...

It's probably just the driver making a fuss. Please list the output of 

xrandr

 

May I ask why you're using two displays on separate cards though?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

i'll post the output of xrandr when i get home.

 

i run 2 displays with different cards because over the weekend i want to do a big upgrade. i will be adding a 32" tv as main monitor and maybe anonther screen. so in total that will be 4 displays. my intention is to run the tv off the 780Ti and all the others from the 1050, so that youtube video's i have open or whatever won't affect gaming performance, especially because i can set all of my random crap on cpu 1 for example, and the game on cpu 2.

Oh, you shouldn't worry about that - the impact is minimal.

also vram use. the fewer screens running on the card the less vram is used up.

Hasn't been a problem in my experience, and I run a lot of pixels on a 4GB card. Still, there's no reason it shouldn't work - there's clearly a problem somewhere.

i have that 1050 lying around. if i can find a use for it this way then i'm happy. it also means that i can run all of my displays using hdmi/displayport, so that's a nice bonus.

It looks like your os doesn't see your 1050's monitor at all; it does recognize its ports though.

 

What's the output of 

lspci -v

?

 

How did you edit your xorg.conf?

@Sauron that did nothing. also all of the settings in the nvidia control panel reset themselves every reboot even though i save the x confiuration file.

 

here are some screenshots of my nvidia-settings, maybe you can see what's wrong?

Are you running the control panel as root?

Try adding this part too: 

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen1"
    Device         "Device1"
    Monitor        "Monitor1"
    DefaultDepth    24

    Option         "SLI" "Off"
    Option         "MultiGPU" "Off"
    Option         "BaseMosaic" "off"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

and 

Section "Monitor"
    # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
    Identifier     "Monitor1"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Idek Iiyama PL2488H"

@Sauron all of that code is already there. so i don't need to add it...

In the text you wrote before it wasn't there - it's very similar to what's already there, but it's a little different; I'm trying to have your 1050 registered with a different xorg screen, it's nearly identical to the existing settings that configure an x screen for your 780ti.

ok i added everything, still no luck.

 

i'm gonna try swapping both gpu's out. i have an R9 290X and an RX460 laying around. i'll see if AMD's drivers can handle it better. not a permanent solution because i was planning on selling those AMD cards but i can try it...

@Sauron ok, now i have one display plugged in to the 290X and 1 in the RX460, and it's working. the only issue is now i have a lot of screen tearing. a lot more on the RX460's display, but a bit on the 290X's display also.

Usually you can fix this by messing with the compositor; I don't know what compositor manjaro cinnamon uses, but there should be a menu option to at least disable it. If it's compton, you can copy a config file to your home directory 

compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf

which you can edit to change settings. According to the arch wiki, you can fix full screen tearing problems by adding the following: 

unredir-if-possible = false;

if for some reason you're using catalyst drivers instead of amdgpu, it says you can fix/prevent additional problems by adding this setting: 

backend = "xrender";

 

It's still weird that you couldn't save your nvidia control panel configuration. Maybe you could try a different distribution if you have the time and patience.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

it's saying my 290X is using the 'radeon' kernel driver and my rx460 is using 'amdgpu'...

 

i have updated the kernel to 4.18 so that's not the issue i suppose.

but i like Manjaro. i've had these issues before on Ubuntu based distro's too, but i don't remember running the nvidia control panel as root on those.

The kernel is never the problem for this sort of thing. I would add the catalyst fix just in case, it shouldn't make a difference with amdgpu anyway.

They probably prompted you for a password. Anyway, the only other possibility is to try running wayland and see if that changes anything.

Oh rip. It might be your motherboard pulling some tricks. Make sure power saving options are all disabled in the bios.
