[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.
