Hello, I have a problem with my Nvidia Geforce 730 PCI card.

I have Ubuntu 22.04 with 4 monitors. 2 on the Integrated Video card and 2 on the PCI Nvidia card, and one day the two monitors attached to my Nvidia card just stopped working while using the Nvidia driver v.390.  
But if I revert to the generic [x.org](http://x.org) Nouveau display driver the situations is reversed and I can only see the monitors attached to the Nvidia PCI card and only the mouse icon on the other two monitors.

I also noticed that the latest Ubuntu kernel 6.5 was preventing me from installing the Nvidia Driver, so I reverted to 6.2.0-39.40.

I also reinstalled Ubuntu 22.04 on another disk temporarily and everything is working fine. Even the nvidia-settings app recognizes all 4 monitors. So the Nvidia PCI is not broken and working fine.

I can only assume something happened in the latest updates.

Has anyone had this problem?

After 3 days I finally found the problem.  
As I say before, I was not able to reinstall the NVIDIA driver with Ubuntu kernel 6.5, so I reverted to 6.2.0-39.40, but that wasn’t enough.

Apparently at some point the nvidia-drm modeset was set to 1 and was preventing the display of the monitors attached to the Nvidia card. I don’t know why and what this option means, but setting it back to 0 does the trick.

I followed this instructions

> That’s a good lead, you have the same affected 300Hz panel. The main difference is that the .run installer you used is the latest, just released 460.73.01 driver while the repo driver is the older 460.56 driver. So this might be a bug that has been fixed in the latest driver. The second difference is more subtle, depending on install the Ubuntu repo enables nvidia drm modesetting while the .run installer doesn’t. Since you’re currently on the repo driver as it seems, please check: run grep n…

And now all 4 monitors are working with the Nvidia driver loaded.

Hope this helps someone else, hopefully in less than 3 days.
