Haha thank you.
You’re right, in my excitement I didn’t even realise. I’ve disabled and removed egpu-switcher from my system and I’m still able to use my eGPU when a monitor is connected to my GPU.
The new, more accurate instructions are as follows:
Setup
Non required in my environment (Gnome Wayland) other than the correct AMD/ROCm packages. If you have already followed the above instructions, run sudo egpu-switcher disable to undo the setup.
How to use the eGPU
- Connect GPU to an external monitor via a display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort etc). Ensure the monitor is powered on and is communicating with the GPU by selecting the GPU display cable as its input source.
- Connect eGPU to laptop via thunderbolt.
- If already in a Gnome session, log out and log back in. If the eGPU disconnects, you will need to restart the laptop for it to work again.
