Hi, I have been using EndeavourOS (dual-booted) with gnome for a couple of months now and just brought another monitor recently which is connected via HDMI.
The problem I’m facing is that whenever I am doing something slightly memory intensive (30% usage), the dual monitor bugs/lags out for a moment. Things to note here are:-
- Just the dual monitor freezes, my laptop monitor keeps working as normal.
- The freeze is only momentary (3-5sec), after which my system logs out and restarts automatically.
- The freeze doesnt occur when i have disabled the dual monitor from settings and while i only work on laptop monitor.
I have tried various fixes which I found online which include:
- Setting up the dedicated graphics as default for all apps
- Disabling all gnome extensions
- Trying both gnome on xorg and wayland
Since none of these work, I’m resorting to asking the pros…
I have also attached the output of inxi -Fxz below:
