Boot without monitor doesn't detect it when turn on later
Hi, if I boot my pc without the monitor turned on Bazzite won't detect it at all later. It can only detect it if I power on at the same time. I have an amd 6000 gpu

gpus dont turn on properly at boot unless they see a monitor at boot
Is there a form to fix it from the OS? I fixed it with the program ARandR saving the distribution of the display
I also have this issue
How can I install arandr?
With the command yum install arandr but I'm sure they can do something to do this without this program
Arandr is for x11 which can make fake virtual monitors which might have been enough for some cards (most require an active signal through the display port or HDMI at boot to turn on)
We do not support x11 because it is dead and that's an upstream decision.
Please refer to my previous post.
You might be able to do something with a HDMI or display port dummy plug which is commonly used for mining or GPU passthrough or remote control of computers without a screen (sunshine server).
And make it so that display is then disabled when it detect the actual monitor is turned on (I know this works in windows, no idea if it works like that in Linux since I have my screens on when booting my PC)
At worst you will have to disable that fake display each time you turn on the main screen
And there is a difference between how windows and Bazzite handle monitors? Because windows 11 can detect my monitor after turning the pc on. Can't Bazzite have like a memory of the last screen used and check?
