[Solution]

It seems to be that the driver was trying to force HDMI deep color mode, which my LG UltraGear(27gn60r) monitor couldn't handle.

/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... nvidia-modeset.hdmi_deepcolor=0 ..."

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Solution from 'https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/ … /140891/21'

[Description]

I recently installed Arch linux for the first time. and I was able to complete the installation successfully by following the Installation Guide.
However, After installing nvidia driver and rebooting, I get a black screen with the monitor message 'Out of Range'.

I can't even switch to tty mode. The only way I can do is using live USB environment.
When I delete nvidia driver and use nouveau, there is no problem.

Did you follow all steps on the NVIDIA wiki page?

What did you remove after installing the nvidia driver?

Lr2bej77n892lio · 2025-04-30 15:25:46

I install nvidia, nvidia-utils, nvidia-settings
and I remove all of them.

Read the wiki again, you skipped an important step involving nouveau.
