[Using Nvidia driver on Debian Trixie - ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507XI] RIP: 0010:nv_drm_revoke_modeset_permission+0x327/0x340 [nvidia_drm]

Graphics / Linux Linux

Using Debian Trixie - ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507XI, one the nvidia-driver package is installed, without further customization, GNOME will run on X11 instead of Wayland.

To solve this issue:

  1. /etc/default/grub
    In the file, add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 mem_sleep_default=deep"
  2. run # update-grub
  3. /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
    In the file, comment the line
    RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false"
  4. /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
    In the file, make sure that
    WaylandEnable=true
  5. /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf
    In the file, add modeset=1
    options nvidia-drm modeset=1
  6. run # update-initramfs -u

After reboot, GNOME will be running on Wayland
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE.

Achieving this is mandatory on this laptop to be able to run the ROG Center (thus having decent battery life), and to use the HDMI port.

I have the same issue on siduction, a distro based on Debian Sid with considerably newer versions of the kernel and driver. My PC is a self-built desktop.

Hi,
thanks for your feedback.
As proposed in the 575 release feedback & discussion thread [1], have you already sent a bug report against this version ?
[1]
“If you have new problems, please make sure you’ve uploaded an nvidia bug report: run sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh in a terminal and upload the resulting file.”

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve done it now.
