I'm beginning to think this is a driver issue. I have a builtin "Kaveri" amd gpu, and pci Radeon HD 4850. I usually have the 4850 as my primary card/monitor setup. However, since upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04, once lightdm is started, only the monitor on the Kaveri works.
I dropped to VT1, and ran `X -configure` after shutting lightdm down, and received an error: amdgpu_device_initialize: DRM version is 2.49.0 but this driver is only compatible with 3.x.x -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692437 Title: Monitors on second GPU not working after upgrade to zesty Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in xserver-xorg-driver-radeonhd: New Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm not 100% sure this is the right package to file the bug against, but since upgrading to zesty the two monitors on my second GPU are no longer detected once I reach the greeter screen at login time. However, both of them display information during boot. Let me know how I can narrow down the bug report.
