Hi, I have Xorg server 1.16.4 from Gentoo and I am having the following problem, which I would say is related to the fact that modesetting driver is now part of the server:
I have a displaylink display that I used to plug and then do $ xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 to have it added as a displaly. At that point, I woult see a mode-setting provider when issuing $ xrandr --listproviders Now the behavior is that I plug the external display and --listproviders does not list mode-setting, just my Intel provider, so the --setprovideroutputsource command does not work. I see, when looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log that the modesetting driver is loaded and then unloaded: david@Tiger ~ $ grep modesetting /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 29.388] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2 [ 29.720] (II) LoadModule: "modesetting" [ 29.810] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so [ 29.821] (II) Module modesetting: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 29.838] (II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms [ 29.859] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting [ 29.876] (II) UnloadModule: "modesetting" [ 29.876] (II) Unloading modesetting But this all happens well before I plug my display. Moreover, when I reload the X server with the displaylink display connected, the modesetting driver sticks around and the --setprovideroutputsource command works as expected. So my question is how to fix this: is this supposed to happen? if so, how can I tell the Xorg server to reload the drivers without restarting it? Thanks in advance for your answer. David E.
