Based on the provided context, it appears that you are experiencing a boot issue with your Jetson AGX Orin Devkit, where the display goes off after showing the NVIDIA logo and some boot messages. You have tried using different monitors and DP/DP cables, but the issue persists.

To help you troubleshoot the issue, I would like to analyze the logs you provided:

  1. dfh.log: Unfortunately, the log is too small (384 Bytes) to provide any meaningful information.
  2. Xorg.0.log: This log file is quite large (139 KB), but I’ll try to extract some relevant information. The log indicates that the Xorg server is starting, and it’s trying to configure the display. However, there are some errors related to the display configuration, such as “Failed to get size of gamma for output default” and “Failed to get EDID for output default”. These errors might be related to the display not being detected properly.
  3. gdm.log: This log file shows some errors related to the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) not being able to start the Xorg server. The error message “Failed to start Xorg server” is repeated several times.

Comparing the logs, it seems that the issue is related to the display configuration and the Xorg server not being able to start properly.

Here are some potential causes and solutions:

  • Display configuration issue: The logs suggest that there might be an issue with the display configuration. Try checking the display settings in the UEFI firmware (if available) or in the Linux kernel command line. Ensure that the display is set to the correct resolution and refresh rate.
  • EDID issue: The Xorg.0.log file mentions an EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) error. Try using a different DP/DP cable or a different monitor to see if the issue persists.
  • Xorg server issue: The gdm.log file shows errors related to the Xorg server not starting. Try reinstalling the Xorg server package or updating the graphics drivers.
  • Kernel issue: Although less likely, it’s possible that there’s a kernel issue causing the display to malfunction. Try updating the kernel to the latest version or checking for any kernel-related errors in the logs.

To further troubleshoot the issue, you can try:

  • Checking the kernel logs (dmesg) for any errors related to the display or graphics drivers.
  • Running lspci to verify that the graphics card is detected correctly.
  • Running xrandr to verify that the display is detected and configured correctly.

If none of these suggestions help, please provide more information about your setup, such as the exact Jetpack version, kernel version, and graphics driver version. Additionally, you can try searching for similar issues on the NVIDIA forums or online communities.
