Problem: I’m trying to get the NVIDIA drivers to run properly on my computer. However, they refuse to work with my 1440p monitor. When the X server starts, it simply does not show any image on the screen. Instead, the monitor goes through a color test cycle, flashing various solid colors and gradients. This does not occur on my 1080p monitor though, so I don’t believe that it’s a hardware issue. Windows doesn’t have the issue either, so I do not believe it’s my monitor.
I’ve tested it under fresh installs of both Linux Mint 15 and Ubuntu 13.04, both 64-bit. I also tried using both the current beta drivers (325) and the current release drivers (319). The issue occurs with all combinations.
Relevant hardware:
EVGA GTX 780
Intel i7 4770k
Asus Z87-Pro motherboard
QX2710 monitor (DVI-D link)
I can reproduce this issue consistently on my machine. These are the steps I take after performing a clean installation of Linux Mint and Ubuntu (for simplicity, let’s also say the installation script is NVIDIA.run and it has executable permissions):
Go into command mode using CTRL-ALT-F1
Stop X server:
Mint:
sudo stop mdm
Ubuntu:
sudo stop lightdm
Run installer and answer questions:
sudo ./NVIDIA.run

-> Your X configuration file has been successfully updated. Installation of the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 (version: 325.08) is now complete.
Reboot:
sudo reboot
That’s really the only steps I’ve taken for installing the drivers. Here is my nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file (not sure the best way to upload):
Cant use megaupload (requires to new of a flash) or I would look at your bugreport log.
Do you have multiple monitors hooked up at once?
The Xorg log file in your bug report would be the most helpful. I have a feeling maybe its an EDID checksome failure like I had with my catleap which required me to do a bunch of modevalidation overrides and manually put a modeline in. I later created an EDID with 100Hz 2560x1440 so scaling at lower resolutions would work right and be at 100hz (as the catleap has no scaler). If you want you could give that a shot:
under device section of the device after driver ‘nvidia’. Also DFP-0 would need to be changed to whatever port it is. On newer cards DVI is usually DFP-0 or DFP-2 (DFP-1 is HDMI). I wouldn’t use that EDID if yours can’t do 100Hz though.

Luckily mine can reach 120Hz without any issue, but I try to keep it at 96Hz, otherwise some VSYNC issues happen on my Windows boot. I think 100Hz should be fine though.
I’ll be honest though. I’m not a superuser, and I’m not very familiar with graphics drivers. I’m just trying to get the drivers set up to do some OpenGL programming. Otherwise I would just stick with the integrated graphics.
If I were to try your solution, is this how my Xorg.conf file is suppose to look?
EDIT: Found this in my log file, could it be something?
[ 4.021] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device DFP-3 is invalid: the
[ 4.021] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): checksum for EDID version 1 extension is invalid.
Yes I had the same problem on my yamakasi (edid checksum invalid) and it would not work without an EDID override.
Your changes do look good but some other things I would change are:
Monitor sectinon from:
HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
to:
HorizSync 28.0 - 150.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 130.0
Just to insure your monitor setting has enough bandwidth so it doesnt error out because its out of that range. I think 100Hz @ 2560x1440 is around 150 Khz Might want to up the horizontal to 200 even.
Probably needed due to the fact that my EDID has a 400Mhz pixelclock mode in it which is over the normal max of 350 which is the highest you can go on linux.
Try those changes and see if things look better.
From your log your problem is exactly what I had on my catleap (EDID checksum failure) and its outputing at 800x600 which if your monitor doesn’t have a scaler like my catleap (probably doesn’t) you will not get anyth ing on the display. On my catleap its just black but I guess on yours it puts it in that test mode.
Try the modifications I gave you to see those work.
Unfortunately, it didn’t do anything. My Xorg.0.log file is here:

It appears that it doesn’t recognize those options?
It got them its just since you have no mode set its defaulting to 800x600 still and I am guessing the default scaling option must be to not use the scaler on the video card and use monitor scaling (in this case non-existent) or something.

There is the problem… I guess you didn’t copy/paste what I wrote and re-typed and got the wrong character?
I see you had:
NoMaxPCIkCheck
But it was supposed to be:
NoMaxPClkCheck
I know those look the same on this forum due to the font but you put no max pci (i) check when it was suppose to be pcl (l as in lag) as its short for no max pixel clock check not PCI.
You can also add this to the list of mode validation too but I don’t think it will be needed:
oh and I think you should be fine just doing “2560x1440” as the mode as that is what it is listed as. You should not need 2560x1440_99 although on your version of drivers it looks like its 2560x1440_100 as well. On my version the nvidia auto-generated one was _99.
Thanks so much for helping me. Other forums haven’t been helpful at all for the past 2 weeks, yet you helped me solve this in just a few short hours. Thanks for the patience with my screw ups.
Just as a note, what is that q270.bin file that you gave me earlier? Is there some method of editing it?
The Q270.bin is basically just a rebuilt EDID. I think I grabbed some other guys modified EDID and converted it into a format that linux nvidia drivers can read. The linux one expects it in binary where as most of the windows and other software read HEX out from ASCII. Editing it is not simple (its quite a PITA actually).
Its really only useful if you want to run non native resolutions and want scaling to work. I guess the scaling works different in these new nvidia drivers and can’t just easily be set in nvidia-settings (I am still running older drivers). I literally did that in order to run some games that were dropping down to lower resolution when they first started so I could see what I was doing to set them at the correct resolution.
If all you wanted is to customize the refresh rate @2560x1440 a bit then its a lot easier as you could have gotten around the checksum issue by disabling EDID completely:
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
And then adding a custom modeline in the monitor section like:
The only problem with that is you won’t get any other resolutions and I had games that were going at low resolution at times and my display would not get any output when that happened so I did the EDID thing as a workaround to have scaling work.
But as you can see the same hex as earlier. The biggest pain part is converting the .dat to the .bin that nvidia linux drivers can read. I think I did a perl one-liner or something to do it at the time.
Oh and I have been using monitors that need special modes/weird configurations for a lot of years. I ran 2560x1920 back in the day on CRT’s (10+ years ago) and been using 4k LCD’s since 2005 (ones driven off 2x dual link DVI or 4x single link DVI or 2x single link DVI) doing all sorts of custom modes/configurations.
My family members also use 4k monitors and dealing with those are a pain on windows because you can only do the display grouping via ATI cards and it can only be done right on ATI by making your own custom EDID files which is kind of what got me on that path. Custom EDID is needed for the eyefinity display group calculation to work right because the normal EDID would have:
But eyefinity only groups on the highest resolution and to say drive a monitor with 4x1 single link DVI you newed to either use 4x 1920x1200 or 4x 960x2400 but those other modes have to be removed or eyefinity wont calculate the groups right. I also found 1920x1200 caused weird tearing and 960x2400 didn’t. And I mean weird tearing. Look at this:
4x 1920x1200
Yet fixed with 4x 960x2400:
This was on my dad’s machine of course as I do not run windows at all anymore.
And with all the crap I have had to deal with ATI’s BS and it loosing its display groups the fact you have hard-coded stuff in a config file on linux comes as a huge improvement for this type of stuff compared to windows with inf drivers and crap.
I never really liked ATI either. I just switched from an AMD 6870, and my god the drivers were atrocious under Linux. Never had an issue under Windows, but I couldn’t even get the OpenGL core profile running properly when using Linux.
Again, thanks for the help. I’m not sure how to close the thread (or put a ‘solve’ tag or something), but I hope it comes in handy for others.
Thanks for the information above. I had to create my own EDID file to get my Monex monitor to work and then used the xorg.conf file posted above with I/l edit.
To get my EDID I ran
xrandr --prop
whilst running the nouveau drivers, then used Bless hex editor to create the .bin file and using gedit to get rid of the whitespaces created when you copy from the terminal. I also had to use the workaround from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1310489 to stop the xorg.conf file from being backed up and renamed automatically.
