I’m trying to avoid creating a larger problem for myself, so I figured I’d call in help. Still fairly novice with Linux (especially Fedora), but I’m determined to finally migrate from Windows.

I’m running the XFCE spin of Fedora with a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and Samsung Odyssey G9. I kept my Win11 partition during migration and confirmed the monitor setup still works in windows, just not Fedora. I’m currently typing this on my Fedora install, on a second monitor I set up to troubleshoot (HDMI on the 5070).

“rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia | sort” returns the following: akmod-nvidia-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-7.2.8-200.fc44.x86_64-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 nvidia-gpu-firmware-20260916-1.fc44.noarch nvidia-modprobe-615.71.09-1.fc44.x86_64 nvidia-persistenced-615.71.09-1.fc44.x86_64 nvidia-settings-615.71.09-1.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-power-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-xorg-libs-615.71.09-3.fc44.x86_64

“nvidia-smi” returns the following: NVIDIA-SMI 615.71.09 KMD Version: 615.71.09 CUDA UMD Version: 13.4

Did I mess something up in my install? I followed Fedora’s official instructions on Nvidia driver installation (sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia -y). As always, I appreciate the help. While frustrating as a start, I’m excited about making the leap.

    Booooo.

    Prime example of why you don’t ask an LLM for actual information.

    1. Samsung Odyssey G9 cannot drop to below v1.4, not to mention any display port mode over 1.4 should understand mode, so this isn’t necessary.
    2. There is no ‘Y’ in /sys/module/<some graphics driver>/modeset, it is 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled, and 2 for headless.

    I know you think you’re helping, but it’s just muddying the water.

    STOP ASKING LLMS FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION.

      False. Samsung’s own troubleshooting page for the OLED G9 tells you to go to Menu > System > DisplayPort Ver. > 1.2 or 1.1, then reconnect the cable when the host doesn’t negotiate DP 1.4 cleanly. Users on the Neo G9 report the same OSD option, having dropped the DP setting to 1.2 and 1.1 (OSD) while troubleshooting a no-signal problem. Dropping the version is a standard troubleshooting step. At 1.2 the monitor stops requiring DSC and HBR3, so if link training is the problem the port will often show up as connected even though 240Hz won’t be available.

      And nvidia_drm.modeset is a kernel bool parameter, and sysfs renders bools as Y or N.
