Originally opened as Cloudef/wlc#87

Upon plugging in an HDMI monitor to my laptop, the LVDS/internal screen powers off and I cannot see anything on it. Unplugging the HDMI cable does not turn the LVDS screen back on either.

Does the log contain any useful information perhaps?

Sure. Didn't think it was necessary (thought the issue would be easy to spot), but I'll grab a log.

Towards the end is when I inserted the HDMI cable. Doesn't seem to mention anything about powering off LVDS (but it definitely is).

It's only the hot-plugging that has an issue. If I boot with HDMI plugged in during startup, there's no issues with LVDS.

That could very likely be a drm driver (kernel) issue, although I have no idea really.

The issue isn't present with X. If it was a kernel issue, wouldn't I see it
in both X and Wayland?

Nah, wayland stuff stresses different parts of the code in the driver. In the early days of wayland and orbment things would break quite often, in some cases orbments fault (page flipping) and in the others the driver. When the next kernel rolled out some of these problems just went away.

[wlc] Failed to page flip: No space left on device

Something seems to break during the hot plugging.

The error message may be garbage. I don't think the drm function that fails sets errno, so it just says "No space left on device". (Should be fixed). But nevertheless the card page flipping starts failing after you plug the monitor. This might be issue with either drm or wlc causing race condition during hotplug.

My GPU does crash a fair amount, that could be it. I don't see anything in dmesg when I plug another monitor in; where else should I be looking?

I've a log with also WLC debug enabled, if it can help: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/489432/14800674/

I’m not sure if this is relevant but I made the following observation:

Plugging in the HDMI monitor AFTER sway is started leads to the described issue. Laptop screen stays blank after connecting HDMI until reboot (will show shutdown message)
Plugging in the HDMI monitor BEFORE sway is started => everything works as expected (I can even unplug the HDMI monitor and plug it in again without breaking the laptop monitor)

I’m tested on the following versions:

pacman -Qs wayland 
local/lib32-wayland 1.12.0-1
    A computer display server protocol
local/sway-git r2141.aed3469-1
    i3 compatible window manager for Wayland
local/wayland 1.12.0-1
    A computer display server protocol
local/wayland-protocols 1.7-1
    Specifications of extended Wayland protocols
local/wlc-git 0.0.7.r27.g6f3758b-1
    wayland compositor library
local/xorg-server-xwayland 1.19.1-1 (xorg)
    run X clients under wayland

same issue here...

paulangton · 2018-02-05T14:23:00Z

I observe the exact behavior described by @maximiliankaul. Any updates on this issue?

hjfreyer · 2021-07-12T13:28:35Z

Anyone at least have a workaround for this besides rebooting the system?
