Fedora 44 Messed up/locked monitor's resolution and other settings

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

The monitor is called " UPERFECT Truely 4K Computer Monitor, 17.3’'… Before updating to Fedora 44, I was using it just fine with these settings:

• Resolution: 3840 x 2160
• Scale: 200%
• Orientation: Upside Down
• 60Hz
• HDR enabled

After updating to Fedora 44, however, its arrangement got moved to the other side, its name changed, it’s now “Nvidia DP-2-0x0000” instead of just “DP-2” as I remember, and these settings changed:

• Resolution: 640 x 480 (cannot change)
• Scale: 100%
• Orientation: No Rotation
• 60Hz (cannot be changed either)
• No option to enable HDR available

Not sure what to do. I rebooted twice, made sure everything is up to date. I also turned the monitor off, disconnected the HDMI on both sides, the power cord too, waited 60+ seconds, reconnected, but the issue is still present. I think it’s Nvidia not reading the monitor well? Cannot do much but wait until Nvidia updates the drivers or is there something I can test?

Doubled checked that you are definitely using the Nvidia drivers - can you confirm the version installed?

My bad, forgot to share that. I’ll share some outputs (nvidia-smi, lsmod | grep nvidia, kscreen-doctor -o & fastfetch). I’m lucky I use two monitors, my main is a Samsung TV, which is working fine, in case it shows up:

Fastfetch shows you are booted with the 6.19.14-200.fc43.x86_64 kernel and not the 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 kernel.
Was that deliberate? or have you not rebooted since installing f44?

Please also show us the output of dnf list --installed \*nvidia\* so we can tell exactly what drivers are installed, dnf list --installed kernel* to see all the kernels, and inxi -Fzxx so we can see more info about all the hardware.

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

I think the problem has been found: it is forcing me to use 14-200.fc43 because when I choose 14-300.fc44 it says “[ 0.122197] RDSEED32 is broken. Disabling the corresponding CPUID bit.”

Also encountered this error:

I haven’t touched or changed settings or ran other commands after the installation, only those two reboots and unplugging the monitor. The download used a stable Ethernet connection too. Also, forgot to mention that, since installing f44, I notice some logs when booting in every time now. Most say “OK” in green, except the last one, which takes a few seconds to finish. I took a photo to share it, they are a little hard to catch. The slow last entry seems to be about akmods.service trying to start, I’m not really sure:

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

One last thing, which I forgot to mention, because it became normalized with my machine, is that sometimes, after updating or booting, (it has become way less common, but still happens), my PC will run at like, 5 FPS, the cursor will be very laggy, launching apps, no matter which one, like a terminal window, cause massive lag until the whole thing inevitably crashes and I have to press the Restart button.

It’s something that would happen more often when my PC was brand new in like September 2025, stopped happening for a while from December 2025 to February 2026 kind of, then it returned again recently… I made a really long post investigating that issue here, but it’s so weird and difficult, I gave up on it. The solution is to just reboot again until it stops happening, most of the time it only needs 1 reboot, rarely 2 or more. Then I can use the PC just fine, run very heavy programs and games with low temps and high FPS.

When f44 finished installing, that happened: the session was very laggy and it froze/crashed on the Splash Screen animation. I left it like that for 15 minutes, because I thought it was maybe still installing stuff, I have had the PC take about 5 minutes to boot up before when dealing with a heavy update without telling me about it anyway, it’s pretty messy, but, ugh, maybe I should have waited more than 15 minutes? Maybe the installation got messed up there

[computersavvy (Jeff V)]

Did you perform the upgrade from f43 to f44 using discover? or did you do it from the command line?

It seems there may be some issues when updating release versions using discover that do not properly build the nvidia drivers. Automatic updates seem especially problematic.

Please run sudo akmods --rebuild --force then reboot and see if it makes a difference

This

and this

Installed packages (available for reinstall, available for upgrade)
akmod-nvidia.x86_64                        3:595.58.03-2.fc44 <unknown>
kmod-nvidia-6.19.13-200.fc43.x86_64.x86_64 3:580.142-2.fc43   @commandline
kmod-nvidia-6.19.14-200.fc43.x86_64.x86_64 3:580.142-2.fc43   @commandline
kmod-nvidia-6.19.14-200.fc43.x86_64.x86_64 3:595.58.03-2.fc44 <unknown>

seem at odds, and point to the driver being built during the upgrade and not after.

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

Yeah, with Discover. I gave sudo akmods --rebuild --force a shot, but the issue persisted after reboot. Saw a suggestion online about the initramfs probably needing this command: sudo dracut --force /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 and a reboot too, gave it a shot after trying yours, but the issue also persists. The boot menu shows up with 200 selected, and if I choose 300, it gives me the “RDSEED32 is broken…” error and then boots.

I personally have automatic updates disabled, but yeah, I always use Discover to update. Might start building the habit of using the terminal instead, if it’s more reliable. Do I need to do a harder reset/reinstall? I also ran this to see if the file it told me doesn’t exist does in fact exist:

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ ls -lh /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img
-rw-------. 1 root root 186M May  2 20:54 /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

Trying to reinstall. I encounter 404 errors:

Update: Managed to solve these 404 errors by running sudo dnf clean all and sudo dnf makecache --refresh; reinstalled and rebooted, but the issue still persists. I’m going to wait, the following suggestions seem to involve meddling with the bootloader, grub and more; I rather not risk making a mistake there.

Update your nvidia driver

RepoView: "RPM Fusion Fedora nonfree 44 updates - x86_64"

Changelog by Leigh Scott (2026-04-28):
- Update to 595.71.05 release

[leigh123linux (Leigh Scott)]

@caferino

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ ls -lh /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img
-rw-------. 1 root root 186M May  2 20:54 /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img

That looks large, maybe omit the amdgpu driver, doing so normally benefits nvidia loading.

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

I tried, but that new version won’t show up in any way:

I also tried omitting amdgpu by doing sudo nano /etc/dracut.conf.d/no-amdgpu.conf and adding omit_drivers+=" amdgpu ", but when I run sudo dracut --force I get the following error:

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ sudo dracut --force
cp: error writing '/boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img.tmp': No space left on device

I don’t know how to proceed. No idea why would that fail. Was told it could be the space in /boot, but it’s 90% full. Although it says it keeps the current kernel, I am afraid of running something like sudo dnf remove --oldinstallonly and somehow bricking/locking me out of my PC

@caferino

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

That should be sudo dnf upgrade akmod-nvidia

@caferino

cp: error writing '/boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img.tmp': No space left on device

No space left on device caused the failure.
Please show sudo ls -lR /boot

Also provide df -h and du -hx /boot

Additionally, you apparently have a 1GB /boot, while f43 and later create a 2GB /boot due to increased sizes for the various kernel files that reside in /boot. It is possible that increasing the size of /boot may be required if we cannot find another option.

These are extremely large. Compare to my images

At almost 200MB each the 4 initramfs images occupy over 700MB of the 1GB partition. (my 4 images are about 400MB total)

As a temporary workaround you could do sudo dnf remove kernel*6.19.13* to remove the oldest kernel and free up some space.
As a fix you would need to identify what is being loaded into the initramfs image by dracut that makes the images consistently almost 200MB as compared to only about 50MB on my system. It is interesting that the rescue image and the routine images are nearly the same size. The rescue image is created by dracut using the --no-hostonly option to include all available drivers, - while the routine images should be created with the --host-only option that limits the drivers in the image to those for the hardware actually on the host. Use man dracut to see info about how it works, and use man lsinitrd to see how that command can assist in examining the initramfs image.

It is possible that a file in /etc/dracut.conf.d is causing the excessively large images to be created.

You also have an extremely old rescue image from 4 years back – possibly from fedora 35 or 36?. It would be wise to update that image.
The rescue image can be recreated by using sudo rm /boot/*rescue* then the rescue image will be recreated with the next kernel update (or with a reinstall of the current kernel).

RPM Fusion for Fedora 44 - Nonfree - NVIDIA Driver 100% |

the newer nvidia driver is not yet available in this repository. You have to add the full rpmfusion-nonfree repository.

@caferino

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ sudo dracut --force
cp: error writing '/boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img.tmp': No space left on device
dracut[F]: Creation of /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img.tmp failed

sudo rm /boot/initramfs-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64.img
sudo dracut 

I would also suggest to omit drivers nouveau and nova_core. Doing so will reduce the file size of the initramfs to appr 50-60MB each.

you can also remove those, because they are totally outdated and will not boot properly.

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

Did plenty, issue persists. Monitor works fine in a live USB ISO, though. Will summarize:

• Reduced /boot size from 90% to 36% by deleting old kernels, cleaning and reloading initramfs, deleted rescue, blacklisted nouveau and amdgpu; double checked…
• Installed full repo and am now in nvidia 595.71.05. Used the terminal, not Discover.
• After that, I noticed the monitor shows the correct 3840x2160 resolution only during the motherboard and Fedora’s logo bootup screen. Once it reaches the login page, it is back to 640x480. I also tested a live USB with the most recent KDE ISO; monitor works fine there.
• During a hiccup with nouveau interfering, it crashed plasma and more, booting me into a black screen with just the cursor. I wrote down some errors regarding nouvaeu, drm, tss and daemons, just in case.
• So far, I haven’t tested forcing EDID settings on the monitor. The last resort seems to be to reinstall the OS too, but I still have hope.

---

---

A little more context for each:

Did so many things, issue is still present, but the most recent test was trying the ISO in a live USB (Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-44-1.7.x86_64.iso), to see if a full OS reinstall would fix anything. Monitor does work flawlessly in the live USB, so, in case this is beyond salvation, maybe reinstalling the OS will be my last resort. (The RSEED32 error still appears even when booting that live USB or any kernel, old or current). I will try to summarize what I did:

1. Reduced /boot’s size from 90% down to 36% by deleting old kernels and cleaning initramfs. Deleted rescue too. Made sure to delete junk and also blacklist nouveau and amdgpu. This is what removing a kidney stone must feel like for the machine. Also installed the full repo, which prompted me to upgrade the Nvidia driver to 595.71.05, which I did through the terminal, not Discover:

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ sudo lsinitrd | grep nouveau
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           44 Mar 11 18:00 etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

2. At some point during the previous troubleshooting, I noticed that the monitor started to show the correct resolution only during the booting screen with the motherboard’s logo and Fedora’s. It used to show it in 640x480 too, but it stopped after I deleted old kernels + cleaned initramfs and ran sudo dracut --force and sudo akmods --force plus reboot. Had the hiccup with nouveau, had to use TTY to blacklist it because it interfered, made PC boot into a black screen with just the cursor visible. Ran journalctl -b -p err and wrote some of the red errors (95% were dupes) down:

May 03 alcarodia kernel: nouveau 00000:01:00.0: gsp: cli:0xc1... Obj... Ctrl cmd... Failed.... 
(So many like that, about 50 of them, with different memory addresses.)
Drm: ddc responded, but no EDID for DP-1 Failed to resolve group 'tss' unknown group nvrm: gpu 00000:01 is already bound to novaeau... 
Failed to start plasma kde6 service daemon 6 plasmashell too, etc.

Blacklisted nouveau with sudo nano /etc/dracut.conf.d/disable-nouveau.conf and adding omit_drivers+=" nouveau " as the only line in it. Then ran sudo dracut --force and rebooted.

---

3. Also tried running rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen and then systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell which crashed PC on login screen, had to press the Restart button. After that, I gave sudo cat /sys/class/drm/card1-DP-1/edid | hexdump -C | head a shot, which showed this output:

I saw suggestions about that possibly being a corrupted/broken EDID, wayland/driver not picking it up well, using an outdated one or something odd. The suggestion was to manually force it to 4K and enable HDR, but I did not trust messing with that yet. Forcing settings on a monitor, I haven’t done that before, it sounds troublesome if future updates will break it again. I skipped those suggestions for now.

[leigh123linux (Leigh Scott)]

blackling nouveau needs to be done on the cmdline

$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=(hd3,gpt2)/vmlinuz-7.0.3-200.fc44.x86_64 root=UUID=fea3e966-0bc4-4f20-82ce-29c1edc7578e ro root=UUID=fea3e966-0bc4-4f20-82ce-29c1edc7578e ro rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core selinux=0 quiet rhgb

If it’s missing run (driver installation normally does it automatically)

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args='rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core'

[caferino (Caferino Boldy)]

It was missing, but I ran the command and rebooted. Issue is still present, but got nova_core added successfully now:

alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 root=UUID=05ef62dd-eb23-4bf3-947f-da0b58dfe8d9 ro rootflags=subvol=root rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core
alcarodia@alcarodia:~$ 

Also ran a rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen/* + reboot after that, but didn’t work. I also changed the DisplayPort’s port to the one next to it to rule that out.

---

EDIT:

Forgot to mention the monitor uses a Mini-HDMI to DisplayPort cable, in case that could be a potential clue.

[anotheruser (Mark)]

@caferino

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

remove pls

@caferino

$ lsmod | grep -E "nouveau|amdgpu"
(nothing)

I’d have expected amdgpu to be listed here. Did you also blacklist amdgpu? Omitting a driver from the initramfs does not imply that the driver is blacklisted.

Does a login screen appear when the display is not connected to DP-2?
Try the same with the Samsung TV unplugged.

What happens if you connect the HDMI cable to the amdgpu motherboard DP-1 port?

You could also try reverting to the nvidia-580xx driver branch.
