Random low resolution after boot with KDE Plasma+nvidia drivers

Ask Fedora
1

Hello,

Fedora newcomer here. I recently decided to try Fedora and I’m having an issue that I’m unable to fix. I chose the KDE Plasma edition, and right after a fresh install, my system kept freezing at random. I quickly found out that it was likely related to the nouveau driver, so I started a journey to make the proprietary drivers work.

I followed the HowToNvidia from RPMfusion (also enrolled the key for secure boot compatibility), and the freezing issue has gone since. But now, each time I do a cold boot, or sometimes when restarting, I have this strange issue where, during the boot loading, my screen resolution changes to the minimum (640x480). The most surprising thing is that if I turn off my screen and then turn it back on, the correct resolution comes back. Also, when this issue occurs, I notice that I can’t change my monitor brightness, and the slider disappeared, but it seems to be a known issue as many threads are pointing this out.

This issue made me look deeper to find out the cause, and it seems related to the NVIDIA driver, which made me question if I was even using them.

Here are some commands that seem to be related to this issue (apologies if this is too much):

lsmod | grep -i nvidia

The first thing I noticed here is under the graphics card section, where no port seems to be active (“ports: active: none off: DP-4 empty: DP-2, DP-3, HDMI-A-2”), whereas when using the nouveau drivers, I do see the correct port listed as active.

Now about the driver loading phase, I noticed that the powerd service never loads correctly but even when disabling this service, I then have issue loading the service that manage hibernation/sleep. In others words, I always have an issue during the boot :
This log is way too long so I’ll only include parts that seems relevants

I’ve also stumbled across some threads on the nvidia developer forum that point to this issue, but I suppose this is not what causes my problem.

Lastly, when scrolling through the journalctl logs, I saw these logs:

So at this point, I’m not sure what’s happening. Something is definitely not working with the way I’ve installed the nvidia drivers, and I’m pretty sure the maintainers are already aware of this since many people are experiencing the same issue. However, I can’t find any threads discussing this strange resolution problem.

Small precision, I tried Arch (btw) with Hyprland for a few weeks before switching to Fedora, and I had the exact same issue. At first, I thought it was specific to Arch/Hyprland.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

The backtrace shows the issue is in mesa, so it’s a amdgpu issue.

Also remove this option as it’s already enabled in the driver, it isn’t useful on the cmdline as it disables simpledrm

Thank you for your answer. Do you have any idea how i can solve this ? Should i completely disable the use of the integrated amd gpu ?

eglinfo:
this was fixed in mesa 25.0.3 and has been apparently re-introduced in 25.0.4 :frowning:

this works:
__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json eglinfo -B

I’d also suggest switching to the kernel open modules. This becomes more and more important for GPUs supported by the open modules.

$ modinfo -l nvidia
Dual MIT/GPL

from Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion

sudo sh -c 'echo "%_with_kmod_nvidia_open 1" > /etc/rpm/macros.nvidia-kmod'
sudo akmods --kernels $(uname -r) --rebuild --force

also upgrade to nvidia driver 570.144.

Fixed an issue that could cause render-offloaded applications using KDE Frameworks 6 to crash.

Thanks for the suggestion ! However this :

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json eglinfo -B

doesn’t work.

I’m starting to think that it may be an issue with how my monitor is handled, as there is in the log something about EDID and colorimetry

Also, I’m currently in the low res (after a cold boot again), and if I go into the system information, i notice a few things :

  • The EDID part shows “No data available”
  • OpenCl shows :

People online seems to have display issue and resolution issue related to EDID, but maybe this is a symptom of the mesa issue you pointed out and not the root cause. i’m a bit lost haha

@leigh123linux
I tried with igpu disabled in the bios and the issue remains

10

you could try adding this to /etc/environment

Have you tried to use the nvidia open drivers?

sudo sh -c 'echo "%_with_kmod_nvidia_open 1" > /etc/rpm/macros.nvidia-kmod'
sudo akmods --kernels $(uname -r) --rebuild --force
11

Unfortunately, this issue is still there after switching to the open kernel drivers.
As Leigh assumed it, I think the issue is not on the nvidia side but on the amd/mesa
But I’m very surprised that even with the integrated gpu disabled in the bios, it does still happens

12

This shows that it is most likely not an iGPU problem. I would try the DP-2 port instead of DP-4. It should not matter, but who knows.

13

All the output posted for the nvidia driver looks normal
The eglinfo stack trace isn’t caused by nvidia and can be ignored, I have the same here.

Maybe your monitor cable is faulty and causing the edid warning

14

I’m pretty sure that it’s software related and not hardware as I’ve already tried other DP ports, and a brand new cable.
I do have windows in dual boot and never had any issue

15

Does this happen at every cold boot?
Have you tried to delay the boot process, i.e. by stopping at the grub menu?
I wonder if the monitor is not reporting an EDID table while it’s still initializing during a cold boot.
