The EDID looks fine as far as I can see. > > I have tried all standard and detailed timings and three established timings (boot at runlevel 3, modify 90-monitor.conf, telinit 5, repeat). All resolutions except 3840x2160, 2560x1440 and 1920x1080 work acceptably. 3840x2160 and 2560x1440 give a black screen and a monitor poweroff. 1920x1080 gives a noisy, psychedelic screen which remotely resembles a login screen. > > If I boot with no 90-monitor.conf at all then /var/log/Xorg.0.log seems to be in conflict with itself. First, all resolutions including 3840x2160 are recognized and agree with what I got out of reading the EDID. But then Xorg.0.log says: > > [ 38.974] (II) modeset(0): Not using default mode "2560x1440" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) > > But 3840x2160 is the default mode. 3840x2160 is the first detailed timing record. So it seems that first 3840x2160 is recognized, then ignored, then 2560x1440 is frowned upon, then used anyways. > > I have attached /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a Fedora 36 and a Fedora 34 boot.

In particular, I can see a file named typec_nvidia.ko.xz, and TroubleShooting.html warns about a file named nvidia.ko. Can anyone on the list tell if there is something suspicious in the attached search-nvidia-stdout? > > > Cheers, > > Klaus > > </div></div>
