[This is a very incomplete report. Sorry. I wanted to get this out before I go to bed. More when I have time.] I have a Seiki "4k" monitor that I'm using on my Fedora 20 system. I'm using the nvidia proprietary driver with a Geforce GTX 650 video card. It has been working well for a while. I don't remember whether it can work with nouveau. Before I installed this monitor, I'd switch to the proprietary driver whenever I got annoyed with crashes in the nouveau driver. Once I switch, it takes a new Fedora release for me to bother trying nouveau again. After updates from the last week or so, when I boot, I no longer see anything on the screen. It looks like the backlight is on. The monitor tells me that it detects the 3840x2160 @ 30Hz signal, but I don't see it. I can switch to a text console. In fact, that's how I'm composing this message. And I can switch back. I can log in blind on the X display (as long as I guess right about where I am in the invisible dialogue). I can grab Xorg.0.log -- X is running. Nothing jumps out at me as wrong. >From the text console, I can run xrandr and all appears to be as I think that it should be: Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 16384 x 16384 DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-D-0 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 854mm x 481mm 3840x2160 30.00*+ 29.97 25.00 23.98 1920x1080 59.94 50.00 23.97 60.05 60.00 50.04 1440x900 59.89 1280x960 60.00 1280x720 59.94 50.00 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 800x600 75.00 72.19 60.32 720x576 50.00 50.08 720x480 59.94 60.05 640x480 75.00 72.81 59.94 I've tried to choose a more mainstream mode with xrandr but have failed. I've tried to blacklist the nvidia module but have failed. I tried to use this on the kernel line in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg: rd.driver.blacklist=nvidia (from googling) but the nvidia module still gets loaded and Xorg uses it. Is there a quick and dirty way of suppressing the nvidia drive without removing it? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
