GUI Mode on second GPU: blank screen after boot sequence.

[jesta]

Setup:

• Ryzen 5 2600x
• MSI B450m Mortar
• RX 5700XT in first PCIE slot (3.0x16, for gaming VM)
• GT 710 1Gb in third PCIE slot (2.0x1 via chipset, for UnRAID)

I can enable GOP to get the system to POST on the GT 710 by switching to UEFI mode. When booting UnRAID in GUI mode the server comes up fine and prints the boot process on screen but when the GUI should start all I get is a blank screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. emhttp is running per '$ ps aux | grep emhttp' and I can reach the GUI from a different machine.

I have tried with 'nomodeset' in the syslinux config which didnt change anything.

I have booted Unraid 6.9 RC2 from a different thumb drive and it has the same result.

Am I just out of luck with yet ANOTHER incompatible hardware setup (NVME drive can't be passed through, GPU has the AMD reset bug) or is there anything left to try?

Did you ever figure this out?

Trying to boot GUI to my second gpu (the GT 710 x1), but have also got the blinking cursor..
