[Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

My portable monitor works normally at 2560×1600 on a fresh Arch Linux installation, without installing any drivers manually (the default modesetting driver works fine).
However, after installing nvidia-open-dkms + nvidia-utils and rebooting, the monitor becomes locked to 1280×720. Higher resolutions disappear completely.

I have tried the following:
1. Switch to nvidia-open-beta-dkms nvidia-utils-beta: still the same (720p only)
2. Switch from plasma wayland to plasma x11: no change
3. Switch sddm to wayland following wiki: no change
3. Connect the screen to iGPU (Ryzen 7 7700 with Radeon 610M): works at 2560x1600, but the desktop becomes sluggish — the 610M is not powerful enough for smooth Plasma performance. I don't want to try another DE, at least now.
4. Connect back to dGPU (RTX 4070 Ti Super). Add 

nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm

into MODULES and mkinitcpio -P : no change
5. Add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 into kernel parameters: no change

Additional information:
1. kwin appears in nvidia-smi, so the driver is active
2. 

cat /sys/class/drm/*/modes

shows a maximum mode of 1280×720 (same in xrandr)
3. 

loginctl show-session $(loginctl | grep $(whoami) | awk '{print $1}') -p Type -p Display

produces: 

Display=
Type=wayland

Display=
Type=unspecified

This looks abnormal — I expected something like Display=:0
4. 

fastfetch

reports: 

Display (CFORCE): 1280x720, 60 Hz [External]

I expected something like Display (HDMI): …
5. hardware:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700 (with Radeon 610M iGPU)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super
Monitor: 2560×1600 portable display using HDMI
The same monitor works correctly at full resolution under Windows (though it has issues at 120 Hz).

Re: [Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

Sanity check:

glxinfo -B

Then see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p2275105

Ceterum censeo:

The same monitor works correctly at full resolution under Windows

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

I thought that was already fixed in the open drivers? Of course, we didn't get actual package versions the OP is using, so who knows.

Re: [Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

1. Switch to nvidia-open-beta-dkms nvidia-utils-beta: still the same (720p only)

Hence the sanity check (though it'd be odd for that resolution anyway)
2560×1600 also isn't a multiple of 1280×720 (otherwise I would have thought maybe fractional scaling)

In doubt the plan is to downgrade to the known working version and then text X11 for some logging

Re: [Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

You're running xrandr from a wayland session?

HDMI-A-2 connected primary 1152x864+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm

means there's no proper EDID being read.

for OUT in /sys/class/drm/card*; do echo $OUT; edid-decode $OUT/edid; echo "================="; done

You'll need https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/v4l-utils/

Do you get one with nouveau?

Wtf is that??
Google doesn't know what a "RTK CFORCE" is, but it's gonna be a problem specific to that monitor and I don't assume that this will change w/ DP - when do you expect the cable?
Can you get the EDID when attaching it to the AMD GPU?
If that also has variable dimensions, please enable 

Option "ModeDebug" "True"

Re: [Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

My pc is currently out of power so test can only be done at least 8 hours later. But I can add some maybe useful information

Google doesn't know what a "RTK CFORCE" is, but it's gonna be a problem specific to that monitor

It's a DIY unit using an LCD panel taken off from a laptop - it worked perfectly before being taking off - and a third-party driver board.
The DP cable will arrive Dec 13 afternoon, UTC+8 timezone.

On the other hand, I have a friend using a finished, factory-made portable monitor (NOT DIY), also running at 2560×1600. I ask for his xorg log and find out that it also has EDID issue, but it works fine at 2560x1600,120Hz:
Here is part of the log:

[     7.401] (==) NVIDIA(0): No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select"
[     7.401] (==) NVIDIA(0):     will be used as the requested mode.

Full logs is here.

However it's sad that it's inconvient for us to swap monitor for debugging...

Re: [Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

the 610M is not powerful enough for smooth Plasma performance

I doubt that to be true, can you also produce an Xorg log for that configuration (you generally don't have to announce that you'll post later wink
And if possible can we also see the EDID from the factory model?

DP solved.
2560x1600 144Hz works fine, both x11 and wayland.

Re: [Solved]NVIDIA proprietary driver locks my monitor resolution to 720p

Out of curiosity, what does that EDID look like?
You might also want to check the ModeDebug w/ the HDMI connection, the patch that broke HDMI in the 105 driver was supposed to fix an existing HDMI bug in the driver and I'd not be surprised if this is still not properly fixed…
