Description

After recently updating my system (arch, using the AUR awesome-git package, I have tried recompiling it), I am having issues with my second monitor. Nothing shows up on it except the mouse cursor. If I clone the display it works fine, and if I play around with the resolution of it then it sometimes shows "something", but it's messed up, and when I move a window to the monitor it simply disappears regardless if some of the background and title bar is visible on it.

Not sure if this is an awesome issue, but I also don't know how to debug it. If I downgrade to the Arch awesome package (version 4.3-4) it works, but my config doesn't. It also fails with an empty config. Link to my config.

Edit: I tried rolling arch back to the last state I thought it worked, and rebuilt awesome, but it still doesn't work. Seems my system is just broken somehow 🤷‍♀️

My guess is that this doesn't directly relate to recent changes in awesome, I have made a thread on the Archlinux forums.

also try running awesome in --no-argb mode

It turned out to be an issue with picom ^^

This should be fixed in picom now.
