NOTE: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AFFECTING ALL USERS WHO WANT TO USE FULLSCREEN APPLICATIONS IN HEADLESS ENVIRONMENTS THROUGH (X)RANDR WITHOUT A MONITOR CONNECTED Hi, I am a community developer of the open-source projects https://github.com/selkies-project/docker-nvidia-glx-desktop and https://git…

Users report that this was fixed in 535.129.03 and 545.29.02. Will post again if there are remaining issues. Thank you, NVIDIA!

@amrits I believe this is worth an internal bug filing.

@ehfd I have filed a bug 4260425 internally for tracking purpose. Shall try to duplicate issue locally and will get back to you again if needed any additional information.

Sorry to take your time, but is there any progress upon this? @amrits It seems that only the Datacenter GPUs (A10) work.

I’m having the same problem on nVidia Orin Jetson. Spent all day trying to get it working only to end up here after realizing the option wasn’t working. [ 3199.428] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Validating Mode "2880x1800_60": [ 3199.428] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Mode Source: X Configuration file ModeLin…

Do lower resolutions work for you, or does it not at all? At the desktop GPU side, even basic resolutions don’t work in 535.xx.

Yes, lower resolutions work fine on the Jetson Nano, it’s just higher resolutions that won’t work. Section "Module" Disable "dri" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Tegra0" Driver "nvidia" …

We have root caused the issue, will integrate fix in future releases. Thanks for being patient.

Thanks for the news. This would save my open-source project and hundreds of users relying on it. Did both issues (the critical issue respectively affecting only 535.xx, and the less critical one also affecting all drivers before that) get resolved?
