Hi all,
I've got a Crea 15A8RTX (Ryzen 8845HS / 780M + RTX 4070) running stock SlimbookOS. I'm hitting display stability issues when using an external monitor under Wayland, and I'm curious if others have seen this.
The problem depends on how I connect the monitor:
1. Direct HDMI (routes through NVIDIA GPU)
- KWin logs thousands of
GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENTerrors from boot - Eventually crashes the compositor, killing all apps
- Suspend/resume works OK
2. USB-C via hub (routes through AMD GPU)
- No framebuffer errors - runs clean
- But suspend/resume fails with "Pageflip timed out" amdgpu errors
- Requires power cycle to recover
Key finding: When both displays are on the AMD GPU (internal + external via USB-C), the framebuffer errors stop completely. The issue seems to be cross-GPU compositing - KWin rendering on AMD but outputting to NVIDIA's HDMI.
System info:
- Kernel: 6.14.0-1018-oem
- Mesa: 25.0.7
- KDE Plasma 6.x, Wayland
