Re: Re: Two graphics cards? Intel and AMD/ATI? What xserver-xorg-* I can uninstall?
Hi Felix and Greg, Thank you so much! Here is more information. I'm try to got 3 monitors in my debian bullseye. In this days/ weeks, months, I have googled a lot to find any rule to tell me how I could to put my third monitor to work. It is plugged in a DisplayLink FY USB-DVI in this manner: notebook usb3.0 port -> cable -> DisplayLink FY USB-DVI -> DVItoVGA Adapter -> VGA cable -> Monitor AOC 511vw I try this with the this instructions https://is.gd/Ijp1k1 and with the DisplyLink install script (https://git.io/JvADQ). Not success. So, I read in some place that can be a possible conflict with xorg module. To figure out the solution, I'm try to uninstall all unnecessary module. I'm in this point/step now. lsusb output: marcelo@marcelo:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:5754 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

I forgot about the subject of firmware. It could be firmware-amd-graphics has not been installed.

That command only shows one of your cards, and not the other. It's simply not a command that gives you much useful information in this situation. > What xorg package I can uninstall? What on earth makes you think you need to REMOVE software in order to get the results you desire? What even makes you think you're not already using the AMD card? You need to check your X or Wayland logs before doing anything else. Maybe you're already using the card and driver that you want to use. If it turns out that you're not using the desired card, then there are a few things you can look into next: 1) lspci -nn Don't try to grep it or anything, because one of the cards doesn't show up with the characters "VGA" in its output. Just post both of the lines from this command, one for each card, which will give us the PCI ID to identify the hardware. 2) dmesg | grep -i firmware See if the kernel is trying to load any firmware and failing. If so, you will probably want to install some of the non-free firmware packages to support your hardware. This may involve adding contrib and non-free to your sources.list. 3) Google your PCI ID together with keywords like "debian" to see if there are any success stories for using your hardware on Debian. Usually you are not the first person to attempt something. Learn from those who came before.

You can probably uninstall all of them and still be fine. Most likely the only ones to keep would be xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu (probable preference) and xserver-xorg-video-vesa (for rescue purposes). The intel doesn't require xserver-xorg-video-intel, as it usually works as well or better with the only DDX you don't see installed, modesetting, since as default it's not in a separate package. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
