Jetson Tx2 NX: display=:0 not ready at lightdm start

I use autologin of lightdm to skip login GUI and redirect desktop to my own session.
So after boot, it will directly go to my script set in my_session.desktop
script bellow:

#!/bin/bash -x

echo aaaa > /home/audfly/aaaa
echo ${DISPLAY} >> /home/audfly/aaaa
echo `whoami` >> /home/audfly/aaaa
while true
do
	xrandr >> /home/audfly/aaaa 2>&1
	sleep 1
done
echo aaaa >> /home/audfly/aaaa

Then I always get some error log like:

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyCan't open display :0
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyCan't open display :0
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyCan't open display :0

But if I restart lightdm, output of xrandr will be ok.

I think this is because some Nvidia driver’s not ready when lightdm start at boot. It sets DISPLAY=:0 anyway no mater whether it is ready or not indeed.

How can I solve this problem without restart lightdm? I can add some wait time before lightdm service but I don’t know how to check ready or pick which service as exec before?

Anything would be help!

Something I’ve done but not work:

  1. remove Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "true" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  2. add [LightDM] logind-check-graphical=true in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

There’s a way to make xrandr work:

#!/bin/bash -x

echo aaaa > /home/audfly/aaaa
echo ${DISPLAY} >> /home/audfly/aaaa
echo `whoami` >> /home/audfly/aaaa

xrandr >> /home/audfly/aaaa 2>&1
if [ $? != '0' ];then
        echo "${DISPLAY} not work!"
else
        echo "${DISPLAY} work!"
fi

startx &

sleep 2

DISPLAY=:1 xrandr >> /home/audfly/aaaa 2>&1
if [ $? != '0' ];then
        echo ":1 not work!"
else
        echo ":1 work!"
fi

echo aaaa >> /home/audfly/aaaa

log bellow:

But why can’t I use display=:0 at boot while it can be used if restart lightdm?
The method is not elegant for me. Is there a better way?
