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.

    Under the no-picture item it says to check whether the PC supports standard DP 1.4, and if it doesn’t, to set Menu > System > DisplayPort Ver. to 1.2 or 1.1 and reconnect the cable. The menus are probably different between the Neo and OLED models.

    Your ‘-1’ comes from the Intel driver, where modeset is an integer and -1 means the driver default. OP has an RTX 5070 Ti, and ‘nvidia_drm’ modeset is a boolean, so ‘/sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset’ reads ‘Y’ or ‘N’. Files under ‘/sys/module/*/parameters’ show the value the loaded module is running with.
