Quadro P4000 cannot display multiple monitors!

I have a DELL Precision 7920 Rack + NVIDIA QUADRO P4000. Using Fedora 29. I installed nvidia drivers using this guide Fedora 36/35/34 NVIDIA [515.65.01 / 510.85.02 / 470.141.03 / 390.154 / 340.108] Drivers Install Guide – If Not True Then False

Install Nvidia drive “NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.93.run”

[root@localhost temp]#

After reboot, it work but I only see 1 display. The Quadro P4000 has 4x4096x2160 @120Hz display resolution.

Any ideas why I cannot have all 4 displays?

There’s only one monitor detected on the nvidia card but the onboard graphics is also active with a monitor connected to it. Furthermore, the xorg.conf is configured for a split-screen Matrox/Nvidia setup. If you only want to use the nvidia gpu, see if you can disable the onboard graphics in bios, connect all monitors to the nvidia card and then use this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
	BusID       "PCI:59:0:0"
EndSection

No, I don’t disable the onboard graphics in bios.

the xorg.conf file on my PC /etc/X11/xorg.conf see 2 monitors. But can’t display it.

        Identifier  "Card0"

I re-install nvidia driver again & it still show installed successful, but now when I run

[root@localhost ~]# nvidia-settings

ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

[root@localhost ~]#

Any ideas why ?

I have absolutely no idea what you want to achieve. Your primary graphics is an onboard Matrox graphics, so nvidia-settings obviously doesn’t work. On the other hand, you don’t want to disable it and connect the monitors to the Nvidia card. Instead, you now added a second Nvidia. You now have separate screens. What is your goal?

I would like to enable both Nvidia card. If I use only 1 nvidia card, i can see it work fine. But it seem to be an issue when i add second Nvidia card.

To have both Nvidia gpus work together, you’l have to enable BaseMosaic, use this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
	BusID       "PCI:59:0:0"
        Option      "BaseMosaic" "true"

Hi,

I would like to able to use both Nvidia quadro P4000 on the Dell Server.

I disable the on onboard Matrox graphics in bios, but the nvidia still not come up.
Any ideas what’s wrong there?

Thanks!

Hi,

After disable the internal onboard Matrox graphics and enable BaseMosa in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I got both Nvidia quadro P4000 work on my server now.

Thank you so much for your help!
