Howdy,

On my new rig, I've got everything installed.  I mostly been on a
console which has worked without issue.  Now I've started using the GUI,
KDE, and I'm having issues.  I wanted to run a command to generate a
xorg.conf file and it generate all the needed info regarding hardware
and such since the GUI wasn't working right without a config file.  The
only one I found is the nvidia one.  It is minimal at best.  Anyway,
when I try to start display-manager, with or without a config file, I
get the sddm login.  I login and if I just let it sit there, after a
minute or so, the monitor goes black.  It is still powered up but
nothing on the screen at all.  I've moved the mouse and pressed buttons
on the keyboard to make sure it isn't powering off but nothing.  Also,
the resolution is pretty low too.  It should run in 1080P easily.  The
card supports 4K I think.  The monitor tho has ran 1080P on my main rig
before, for years I might add. 

I used tail -f to watch a few error logs.  I watched sddm, messages and
Xorg.0.log.  The only thing that got added when the monitor went black
was this:



Jun 21 13:27:41 Gentoo-1 kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable
to read EDID for display device DP-3
Jun 21 13:29:01 Gentoo-1 kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable
to read EDID for display device LG Electronics W2253 (DP-3)
Jun 21 13:29:02 Gentoo-1 kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable
to read EDID for display device DP-3
Jun 21 13:29:03 Gentoo-1 kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable
to read EDID for display device LG Electronics W2253 (DP-3)


If I let it sit for a good while, it comes back on, sort of.  The plasma
panel thing on the bottom, where the app menu, clock and all is, doesn't
come back tho.  Also, the background is just black, no picture like
usual.  The only thing that shows up is gkrellm.  I'm pretty sure plasma
died.  I thought maybe it was heat, the fan isn't running on the video
card or something.  Nvidia shows the card between 25 and 30C.  The fan
nvidia says is at 34%.  If that is correct, then the fan is running and
heat is not a issue.  Out comes the flashlight and a mirror.  Yep, fan
spinning.  According to IR temp thingy, nothing even gets into the 90F
area.  I think if it was heat, I'd see something getting hot with the IR
temp thing. 

There is two versions of Nvidia driver for this card in the tree.  I've
tried both, no change at all.  Screen goes black and after a while comes
back but most of the desktop has crashed. 

By the way, I ran the tail command over ssh.  Sometimes when the monitor
goes black, it doesn't come back.  I can use ssh to reboot and repeat tho. 

Did I miss something during the install?  Does the error above cause
this problem?  If so, how do I fix it?  If you need info, just let me
know the command to run.  I monitored all I could think of.  The one
above is all I saw that showed a problem exists.  Given this rig is
still in testing, I can reboot or anything else as needed. 

Thanks.

Dale
