Monitor not recognized after Nvidia 565.77 upgrade

Ask Fedora
1

After the most recent 565.77 upgrade, my monitor is no longer recognized. It sees there is a monitor, but not which model, so just loads a default profile for one.

I have tried reinstalling all nvidia packages then forcing akmods rebuild, with no success. Downgrading + running previous kernel, akmod rebuild fails with these errors:

Any insight much appreciated

Look at the akmod log and see what error happens when it tries to build the module.

3

Any idea what I’m looking for? I did include part of the log at the top of the initial post. It’s quite nondescript, bad exit status from some temp build file after nvidian-drm-crtc is being built it looks like.

Just the one failure.

560.35 ??

Ya, trying to see if downgrading solves the display issue. But can’t get that to build.

Would obv prefer to use most recent 565.77, which builds fine, but the monitor issue began after upgrading.

6

try the new beta 570.86.16 from rawhide. Works fine here on fc41, but I’ve rpmbuild the packages myself using the src.rpms from rpmfusion.

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA?highlight=(\bCategoryHowto\b)#Latest.2FBeta_driver

560.35 is too old. It won’t compile the kernel modules with kernel 6.12.
the previously installed version must have been something newer than 560.35

7

I wonder if your issue is related to https://discuss.kde.org/t/frustrating-issues-with-kde-not-remembering-monitor-arrangement-and-panel-settings/28621.

8

AFAIK some driver versions have issues with displays connected to DVI

resolved in latest BETA

Fixed a bug, introduced in 555.58, where some DVI outputs would not work with HDMI monitors.

9

Just tried and no luck with 570.86.16. Still can’t recognize the display.

10

what does happen if you switch to console?

does it work with this line added to /etc/environment

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json
11

console works as normal, no change with that env var. i can run a desktop session, but the display resolution is stuck at some default since the monitor is None-1. trying to add a new resolution to this profile also fails for me, as well as using xrandr -s to specify the resolution.

12

worth noting the monitor works great when i boot into windows

14

Check that the nvidia driver is loaded and being used.
You should see nvidia kernel modules have been loaded.

lsmod | grep nvidia
15

this does not look ok. There should be at least nvidia_drm.
pls post output of cat /proc/cmdline

16

I am not sure why you used akmodsbuild to rebuild the drivers.

I have always used sudo akmods --force --rebuild which does 2 things very well.
It removes the older driver that is now working, and it builds and installs the drivers properly.

As I understand it akmodsbuild works in the background to compile the driver but it does not do the entire job of removing the old rpm package and installing the new rpm package.

Try using the akmods command as noted here then see what happens after a reboot. It should fix the problem seen with lsmod as well as having a newly built driver installed.

17

thanks for the replies everyone. i gave up and proceeded with a fresh system install. works beautifully now.
