[SOLVED] Resolution, screen scan wrong and NVIDIA drivers configure

EternalNovice · 2023-02-22 15:58:23

laptop: K53SV
graphics: GT540M
Drivers: nvidia-390xx-dkms, nvidia-390xx-utils

My laptop is connected to a monitor, so I currently have two screens.
I choose nvidia graphics only,
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only
and seems to have this problem "Resolution, screen scan wrong. EDID errors in Xorg.log"
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … n_Xorg.log

Normally, there will appear "LVDS-1"(1366x768) and "VGA-1"(1024x1080);
But after the problem occurs, there appeared "VGA-0"(1024x768), "LVDS-1-1"(1366x768) and "VGA-1-1"(1024x1080);

       	Option		"ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
       	Option		"CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/edid"
	Option		"IgnoreEDID" "false"
	Option		"UseEDID" "true"

if I follow the guide and type this codes into

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

,
it just turned "VGA-0"(1366x768), "LVDS-1-1"(1366x768) and "VGA-1-1"(1024x1080), rather than "LVDS-1"(1366x768) and "VGA-1"(1024x1080).
How to turn it back to normal?

By the way, do I just need to install the drivers or do I need to install "linux-headers", "dkms", and configure something?

Normally, there will appear … there appeared

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Instead post your Xorg logs, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General and the complete config files you generated.

Hybrid system, you've configured it to run on the nvidia chip, but https://pastebin.com/raw/krqJxR0S runs on the intel chip and the modesetting driver (output name changes are normal in that case)
=> To define the behavior, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting - parameter AND mkinitcpio MODULES. You probably want to remove "kms" from the HOOKS there and also add the pacman hook.

EternalNovice · 2023-02-23 09:41:55

I had been added

nvidia_drm.modeset=1

into

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia_drm.modeset=1)
BINARIES=()
FILES=()
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap modconf block filesystems fsck)
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap consolefont numlock modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck)

and added

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

into

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

before, do I need to delete them?

I am not sure where is the "kms" in the HOOKS, I didn't add any hook before.

In the pacman hook, which Target("nvidia", "nvidia-dkms" or "nvidia-390xx-dkms") should I use?

To define the behavior

Sorry, I don't understand how to do this.

V1del · 2023-02-23 09:59:28

nvidia_drm.modeset=1 is a kernel parameter you configure those on your bootloader. In the mkinitcpio file your modules line should read MODULES=(i915 nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

SeverFlags IgnoreABI should not be necessary nor detrimental however. If the kms hook is not there then your install predated that addition, don't worry about it. For the pacman hook pacman hooks act on pacman packages, the pacman package you have installed is called nvidia-390xx-dkms so that's what you should use here.

EternalNovice · 2023-02-23 11:28:23

I did these three things

set nvidia_drm.modeset=1 into bootloader
changed MODULES into (i915 nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)
added pacman hook

It showed some erors when Arch started though it boot successfully, what other logs do I need to provide?

Does the original problem remain?

EternalNovice · 2023-02-23 12:46:44

yes, it still remain

seth · 2023-02-23 13:08:51

You posted two Xorg logs, both run on the nvidia GPU, one's local (rootless X11), the other (earlier) one ran Xorg as root.

Neither has a VGA-0 output.

Both force (=> why?)

[    11.239] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
[    11.239] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/edid"

only the earlier one (w/o "nvidia_drm.modeset=1") has an actual oputput there.

[    11.684] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): AU Optronics Corporation (CRT-0): connected
[    11.684] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): AU Optronics Corporation (CRT-0): 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock

Instead of the vaguely technical speculations of your inital post, please describe the problematic behavior that you're trying to solve here.

EternalNovice · 2023-02-23 14:56:10

I can't find the answer.
but I changed "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf"
"CRT-0:/sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/edid" >> "CRT-0:/sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/edid"

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 02:15:17

why output name changes are normal and why it set a virtual screen(VGA-0)?

seth · 2023-02-24 07:06:33

The output name depends on the driver, if you change the driver, the names will change. That's normal.

why it set a virtual screen(VGA-0)

As asked before:
Why do you configure

[    11.239] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
[    11.239] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-1/edid"

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 07:27:48

Follow the wiki to try to fix the problem

seth · 2023-02-24 07:33:19

Follow what wiki to fix what problem?

I guess there's a masive language barrier here, https://www.deepl.com/translator

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 07:41:25

this

and seems to have this problem "Resolution, screen scan wrong. EDID errors in Xorg.log"
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … n_Xorg.log

seth · 2023-02-24 07:52:01

Remove all configurations you created, make sure you've enabled early kms and nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in place and post an updated xorg log.
It's still no way clear what the original problem was.
Your OP states that a third output appeared, what's no surpise given you added it - but that raises the question why you added it itfp. There's no reference as to why you think there would be a problem w/ the EDID, DPI or resolution.

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 08:29:57

https://pastebin.com/ScrdJbba
I deleted "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf" and deleted this two line from "~/.xinitrc"

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only
Now nvidia-setings said I do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver, and now there's no virtual screen

seth · 2023-02-24 08:39:55

You're running the modesetting driver on the intel IGP and

[    11.376] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

Since you're on the 390xx driver, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvid … ent-901559 and post the output of

pacman -Qs nvidia

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 08:42:14

https://pastebin.com/ECDM2Ecs
When I follow the wiki(use NVIDIA graphics only) to added this "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf"

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"

the driver works, but I don't know why it creat a virtual screen

V1del · 2023-02-24 09:24:26

What is "it"? Are you looking at xrandr? Generally with this setup, your internal laptop screen is still attached to the intel GPU but receives the contents to output from the nvidia card. which is why you have a "virtual" screen from the perspective of the nvidia driver.

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 09:47:04

It's still no way clear what the original problem was.

1. set use NVIDIA graphics only

appear virtual screen(VGA-0)
output names changed(before: LVDS-1, VGA-1; after: LVDS-1-1, VGA-1-1)

2.thought something is wrong
3.saw wiki's note and thought I face the problem
4.followed the wiki to configure the file
5.the problem still remain, 4. only change the resolution of virtual screen(VGA-0)

EternalNovice · 2023-02-24 10:14:31

have a "virtual" screen from the perspective of the nvidia driver.

Does it mean the contents only in the virtual screen will output from nvidia card?
If so, how can I set two virtual screen to not only for my laptop but also for external monitor?

V1del · 2023-02-24 10:21:10

What is the problem you want to solve? Can you post the output of

xrandr -q
glxinfo -B

what tool are you using to change resolution where exactly do you see that "only the virtual screen changes resolution"? Are you just taking an issue to the naming of the output devices? Ignore that you can't control that reliably, stick to one approach and work with the names that you get from there.
