I'm running Xubuntu 20.04 on an HP Elitebook 845 G7 which has an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon Graphics. I've been trying to use two daisy-chained DisplayPort monitors (Dell P2421DC) connected via the laptop's USB-C port. The first monitor is detected and works correctly, however the second monitor (daisy-chained from the first) is detected but cannot be enabled either via the Display settings or xrandr
. Attempting to enable the second display gives me the following output in dmesg
:
[drm] Failed to add display topology, DTM TA is not initialized.
I've enabled the HWE stack for 20.04 so I'm currently running kernel 5.8.0-49
which looks like it's correctly using the amdgpu
module for the GPU:
$ inxi -G
Graphics: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Renoir driver: amdgpu v: kernel
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.9 driver: amdgpu,ati unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 2560x1440~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: AMD RENOIR (DRM 3.38.0 5.8.0-49-generic LLVM 11.0.0) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.2.6
xrandr
correctly detects the daisy-chained second monitor (DisplayPort-3) along with its resolutions:

When I attempt to enable the monitor via xrandr
or the Display configuration of XFCE it doesn't get enabled. xrandr
gives the following output:
$ xrandr -d :0 --output DisplayPort-3 --auto
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
and I get the dmesg output about DTM TA is not initialized
Any ideas about how to resolve this or further diagnose the issue would be most welcome.
