Hi Ebon,
you said, it is flashing? Or do you have a blamk screen?
It's all black, but the backlight flashes.
I'll see if making the fixmonitors script correct works. I wrote that
script and it uses xrandr to reset the monitors to the way they should be.
Now their ports have changed, so the script is very wrong.
This can happen, when the resolutionb of the monitor is out of sync.
I think lightdm was crashing because xrandr errored out, which made
fixmonitors error out.
<edit edit>
OK, script is fixed, lightdm is chmodded, now reboot. Back soon.
<reboot happens>
OK, that appears to have worked. Good, an easy fix I'd have had to do anyhow.
Why does fixmonitors matter? To make the ordering and orientation of the
monitors correct, I modified lightdm's config so fixmonitors is called as a
setup script.
The left monitor (DP) is dimmer than the rest, I'll poke around in the OSD
and see if there's an obvious cause.
I just ran glmark2 to compare it to the previous card. Old score: 2063, new
score: 19521. An order of magnitude improvement is not insignificant.
Oh, another hint: You can also try the tesla driver (it is something
470.xx.xxx), this one should also run perfectly. The 535 needs some special
funtions, not all NVidia graphic chips got them.
Noted. I think I'll let this run a few days to see what shakes out.
