A new monitor set to 240hz makes the screen all blue.

Hey, I bought a Samsung Odyssey G7 240hz, I have a problem with it, when I set up it to 240hz it's working but after reboot, I have a blue screen.
When I don't set up manually 240hz, the monitor working normally but on 144hz, and after change on nvidia-settings it's working well, but again after reboot, I have the same situation.

Re: A new monitor set to 240hz makes the screen all blue.

Does anyone using 240hz monitor?
Maybe it's a nvidia bug in 5.9 kernel?

It's not the answer you're looking for but you could set it to run at 144hz and run a script to set 240hz at startup using xrandr?

What kind of cable are you using? Issues here can often be related to the cable used, can you use the same monitor/cable on another system/potential Windows dual-boot?

If I don't find the answer, that would be my choice.

DP, and it's working on Windows.

Re: A new monitor set to 240hz makes the screen all blue.

# 2560x1440 @ 240.000 Hz Reduced Blank (CVT) field rate 240.000 Hz; hsync: 388.560 kHz; pclk: 1025.80 MHz
Modeline "2560x1440_240.00_rb2"  1025.80  2560 2568 2600 2640  1440 1605 1613 1619 +hsync -vsync

Unreduced 2560x1440@144 is 808.75 MHz, unreduced 2560x1440@240 is 1442.50 MHz and you still get some signal, so the above modeline might very well work.

Re: A new monitor set to 240hz makes the screen all blue.

I'm doing something wrong or it doesn't work?
I've tried with monitor-10.conf and xorg.conf, tried also manual set up but I have an error:

Lose the xorg.conf (and 10-monitor.conf), restart X and try the modeline I posted (you can generate them w/ cvt12 -b)
Also post the output of "xrandr -q"
