I turn my display port connected monitor off over night
and when I turn it back on in the morning, I get no
video (no valid video anyway). This used to happen a while
back, then it stopped, now it is happening again.
I find this nonsense in the Xorg.0.log:
...
[ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): MetaMode
[ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0):
"DP-0:nvidia-auto-select{ViewPortIn=1366x768,ViewPortOut=3840x2158+0+1}"
[ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): could not be re-validated against the current hardware
[ 53942.071] (WW) NVIDIA(0): configuration; removing.
It was talking to it fine, but now it wants to "re-validate?"
Since the monitor is powered off, it is no wonder it can't
re-validate :-).
Any obscure nvidia driver options I can use to make it
stop the "re-validation" nonsense?
If I download the EDID and load it from lib/firmware
on the kernel command line, will that make the driver
happy even when the monitor is off? (Or with nvidia
not doing KMS do I need to point at the EDID in the
xorg.conf.d directory)
