I’m trying to avoid creating a larger problem for myself, so I figured I’d call in help. Still fairly novice with Linux (especially Fedora), but I’m determined to finally migrate from Windows.

I’m running the XFCE spin of Fedora with a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and Samsung Odyssey G9. I kept my Win11 partition during migration and confirmed the monitor setup still works in windows, just not Fedora. I’m currently typing this on my Fedora install, on a second monitor I set up to troubleshoot (HDMI on the 5070).

“rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia | sort” returns the following: akmod-nvidia-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-7.2.8-200.fc44.x86_64-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 nvidia-gpu-firmware-20260916-1.fc44.noarch nvidia-modprobe-615.71.09-1.fc44.x86_64 nvidia-persistenced-615.71.09-1.fc44.x86_64 nvidia-settings-615.71.09-1.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-power-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-xorg-libs-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64

“nvidia-smi” returns the following: NVIDIA-SMI 615.71.09 KMD Version: 615.71.09 CUDA UMD Version: 13.4

Did I mess something up in my install? I followed Fedora’s official instructions on Nvidia driver installation (sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia -y). As always, I appreciate the help. While frustrating as a start, I’m excited about making the leap.

    Set the DisplayPort version in the G9’s on-screen menu to 1.2, replug the cable, and check whether xrandr shows that DP output as connected.

    If it still shows disconnected, replug the cable and right after run:

    sudo journalctl -k -b | grep -i -E 'nvidia|drm'

    Look for link training or EDID errors on that connector.

    Also run cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset and confirm it returns Y.

      Booooo.

      Prime example of why you don’t ask an LLM for actual information.

      1. Samsung Odyssey G9 cannot drop to below v1.4, not to mention any display port mode over 1.4 should understand mode, so this isn’t necessary.
      2. There is no ‘Y’ in /sys/module/<some graphics driver>/modeset, it is 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled, and 2 for headless.

      I know you think you’re helping, but it’s just muddying the water.

      STOP ASKING LLMS FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION.
