[SOLVED] xdm setup problem with server videocard
#2
After trying different options it seems I need to use config like this:

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Files"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 33.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce GTX 1080"
    BusID          "PCI:130:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "True"
    Option         "Coolbits" "12"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
#    Option         "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
    Option         "Interactive" "False"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Weirdly, though starting xdm now through systemctl doesn't work, but launching simple xdm or xinit via root works just fine from the console.

I'll investigate later and report back for the full fix of this issue.

EDIT: seems everything back to normal, I guess when you have multiple cards you need to specify BusID in the device section and also I've added DPMS setting in the monitor section. Thread can be closed.
