Details

Description:
No display after installation on a fresh disk.
The same works for other OS like windows, ubuntu etc on dual boot.

Also display works during initial installation steps.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
bug exists for all display managers like xorg, kde etc.

Tried installing multiple times with same result.
I had to do a workaround by switching monitor cable to HDMI.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Fresh installation on desktop which has multiple display ports like HDMI, VGA and DVI.
2. Connect monitor to Display port
3. Do a fresh install of Arch Linux latest version using Pen drive (prepared using rufus usign dd)
4. Notice during installation of display the display goes blank.
This task depends upon

I'm assuming there's a language barrier here. Please break this down more and tell us exactly:

1) What is happening
2) When it is happening
3) What you expect to happen

You will need to provide more information: system specs and kernel logs. When does the display exactly turn blank?

Also, the title says DVI, the description says DisplayPort.

The exact step is after installing display managers like xorg and typing startx.
I installed using 100% exact steps as mentioned in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF7Y8IH5A3M

I feel the x-windows display goes to wrong port and instead of display appearing on current monitor it goes to hdmi even when no hdmi cable is attached.
That may be the reason why it works when i switch display cables to same PC and monitor (My monitor has VGA, Displayport and HDMI inputs)

Hope it helps.

I still didn't get the answers to my questions, but oh well. This appears to be a configuration issue, and since you're using a random, unsupported video you'll have to ask them for help.
