Xorg Nvidia Laptop

Edid errors in xorg log.

Xorg nvidia laptop. These are both executed with sddm disabled so i just log in to the first tty. This is due to the nvidia driver not detecting the edid for the display. I m in the market for a new laptop dell precision 5540 which in my configuration comes with an nvidia gpu. Nvidia generated xorg config.

If i use one no matter how minimal it is but with the nvidia driver the system freeze i have to hard reset. No xorg conf i get a blank screen with blinking cursor. To save time consider reading only the pages on optimus and xrandr as they are vital to correct configuration. Since xorg is apparently going into maintenance mode wayland is the future but the wm i would use to replace xorg beloved i3 with is sway which doesn t support nvidia.

The documentation can be found in a couple of locations. Failed to initialize the nvidia gpu at pci 1 0 0 gpu fallen off the bus rminitadapter failed add rcutree rcu idle gp delay 1 to the kernel parameters. For a laptop with intel integrated graphics and nvidia discrete graphics the following xorg conf should be sufficient. Nvidia xconfig has never worked for me.

Similarly if you have ever used the nvidia xonfig utility or the save to x configuration file button in the nvidia control panel a xorg config file may have been generated at etc x11 xorg conf. The levono t480 machines also use an intel card uhd graphics 620 in combination with a muxless nvidia card geforce mx510. The best way to set the system s xorg conf correctly would be to read the documentation nvidia has provided. It is highly recommended to delete it before trying to switch gpus.

Chekoopa i run i a similar issue when i switched my t480 in 18 09 to kernel 4 19 x which became the new lts version. From the log s it s obvious that xorg can t see call the nvidia module or maybe not aware of. I enabled kms to eliminate screen tearing but disabling it doesn t help. Resolution screen scan wrong.
