Dual screen flicker with Radeon VII

[vade]

Curious what are solutions for Dual Screen on glitches

Ive got a Radeon VII with RadeonBooster working well if a single monitor is plugged in over HDMI.

If I plug a second display (and Eizo color managed monitor) over DisplayPort my primary HDMI monitor glitches out on occasion - sometimes with full screen noise, and re-negotiating a connection as if it was just plugged in , id say on average once every 5/10 minutes.

I've read that setting color to 24 bit rather than 30 might be a fix, but id like to find a fix for 30 bit if possible since well, the whole idea of a color managed monitor is to see great color accurately.

My system reports HDMI audio output is available over the Radeon. Im curious if audio is actually an issue

Is this feasible? Thanks!

Have you tried using agdpmod=pikera as a boot arg?

I have yes, in fact, my config has it active as we speak.

Use -rad24 also.

Rad24 however lowers the bit depth of the panel input to 8bpc / 24bpp yes? Thank you for your help!

I tried running with rad24 and it doesnt seem to help the hiccups on the HDMI display.

Both monitors are reported being 24 bit frame buffers, and while I've not seen 'noise' like I did w/o the -rad24 flag, I do get 'disconnects' fairly regularly.

Removing agdpmod=pikera as well as removing shikigva=80 appears to have drastically helped the issue and dramatically reduced the flicker. However, its still there.

I have the same issue with my Vega 64, so I simply use HDMI only. Is using DP a must?
