egpu oculink issue
I have a gpd win mini connected through oculink to an rx 7800 xt that works flawlessly both in Arch that in Windows, but my favorite gaming environment is Bazite and I cannot get it to work there .
The Bazite welcome screen is visualized both on the device screen that on the external monitor (connected to the video card with display port), but when the starting up is complete, I don't have video signal (or better to say the screen is lighted, but blank).
I don't know if this is related to the video drivers (amd; maybe it would be better vulkan-radeon?), the SDDM login manager, Wayland, KDE or else, so any help it would be precious, thanks.

Does it boot you into a blank screen. This happened on my win mini egpu setup too. Are you able to open a console by pressing ctrl + alt + f3? If you can, try running the command export-gpu which should let you setup which card is the egpu and which is the igpu. After that just restart the device and see if that works

Thanks so much (also @Kyle Gospo for suggesting me same thing), that finally helped me to solve the issue. 👍🏻
...only thing is that when I boot (in Deck mode) the internal screen stay awake (blank) as well, and I have to switch to desktop mode and game mode again to turn it off.
Yeah unfortunately I think that's just due to how export-gpu works I haven't been able to turn it off. What you can do though is crackdown the brightness in deck mode and I think that lowers the internal screen to something a lot dimmer while keeping your monitor or TV screen lit
Also np I had the same problem when I first got my oculink setup too I was super confused until I found the answer on the ChimeraOS wiki lol.
Ok, I should definitely try that.

Facing these similar on legion go n onexgpu. Gonna test. Besides allwayegpu. Will Asus supergfx helps? Any experience..
Did that work?
I'm trying an Arc A580 someone gifted me. Currently away from home but I'll check on it more when I get back

Attempting GPD WM 2023 with Oculink Arc A580 eGPU
When booting up, the GPD boots up fine with the Oculink-connected eGPU, however it doesn’t see it. When running export-gpu I also see a recurring error here: pcilib: Error reading /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:08.3/label: Operation not permitted
Yes, I'm using it as a daily driver since that day. Did you set it up with the export-gpu command?
Still doesn't work
sorry, could it be related to ARC gpu? Maybe you could try with an AMD
...maybe you need specific intel drivers
nah on Linux it should just run if it's AMD or Intel, as they're both included in the kernel itself
Someone on Mastodon noted that my GPD might not actually have enough BAR space or something for that mid tier GPU though https://donotsta.re/objects/7407022c-373f-4da3-b049-68a5a2ff6c3f

@s31bz It might not have enough BAR space. I tried to run eGPU on M.2 slot in NUC12WSHi7 - RX560 2GB did run, but RX6600XT or RX7800XT had none of that
all future details will be here
