The CustomEDID provides EDID data for the device, meaning that it will start up just as if the TV/DFP was connected during X the process. The ConnectedMonitor option forces the driver to recognize the DFP as if it were connected. Option 'CustomEDID' 'DFP-0:/etc/X11/dfp0.edid' $ nvidia-xconfig -extract-edids-from-file=/var/log/Xorg.0.log -extract-edids-output-file=/etc/X11/dfp0.binĮdit nf by adding to the Device section: Extract the EDID block using nvidia-xconfig: Run an X server with enough verbosity to print out the EDID block:Īfter the X Server has finished initializing, close it and your log file will probably be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If in the front-end mouse and keyboard are not attached, the EDID can be acquired using only the command line. It will show some information in tree format, ignore the rest of the settings for now and select the GPU (the corresponding entry should be titled 'GPU-0' or similar), click the DFP section (again, DFP-0 or similar), click on the Acquire Edid Button and store it somewhere, for example, /etc/X11/dfp0.edid. To acquire the EDID, start nvidia-settings. To force NVIDIA to use DFP, store a copy of the EDID somewhere in the filesystem so that X can parse the file instead of reading EDID from the TV/DFP. This can be a problem when using a DVI connected TV as the main display, and X is started while the TV is turned off or otherwise disconnected. The X server falls back to CRT-0 if no monitor is automatically detected. See systemd-boot#Loader configuration for details.įor rEFInd, add to esp/EFI/refind/nf and /etc/refind.d/nf (latter file is optional but recommended):Ī small caveat is that this will hide the kernel parameters from being shown during boot. Transitioning from nouveau may cause your startup terminal to display at a lower resolution.įor GRUB, see GRUB/Tips and tricks#Setting the framebuffer resolution for details.įor systemd-boot, set console-mode in esp/EFI/loader/nf. 8.1.2 Allow change to highest performance mode.7 Displaying GPU temperature in the shell.3 X with a TV (DFP) as the only display.
