Hello, I have same problem as [EXTERNAL-MONITOR-…](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/external-monitor-cant-set-desired-resolution/197753).

your Xrandr command returns HDMI 0 and DVI-D-0, in your configuration you put dfp0 as output. I suppose that the screen concerned is DVI-D-0 you must therefore put it instead of DFP 0. Section “OutputClass” Identifier “nvidia” MatchDriver “nvidia-drm” Driver “nvidia” Option “CustomEDID” “DVI-D-0:/etc/X11/1920x1080.bin” EndSection ---

Try several nvidia driver versions. Also, your driver is called nvidia-dri not nvidia-drm your config files must match. ---
