Hi, i have a problem witch changing settings - i just cant do this. Nvidia display configuration is blocked by "Prime displays cannot be controlled by nvidia-settings" and in the - let's say - OS Display Configuration i can change almost nothing - there is only few options available. I want to change my monitor refresh rate for example, but i cant. I made research about this problem and found nothing which would help me.
I use notebook and one monitor connected via HDMI. My GPU is nvidia 1050m. NAME="Linux Mint" VERSION="19 (Tara)" 4.15.0-36-generic. Nvidia driver version 390.77. X-server version 11.0, vendor 1.19.6, nvcontrol version is 1.29.

Re: prime displays cannot be controlled..
Nvidia-settings can only be used to configure displays on ports that are physically connected internally to the Nvidia GPU. On your laptop the HDMI port must be connected to the Intel GPU.
You need to post some additional info. Open the Terminal, use these commands and post the output:
What is the brand and model number of the monitor and are you using any adapter to connect it?
What refresh rate or anything else do you want to change?

Re: prime displays cannot be controlled..
I want change my refresh rate to 75hz. I want also change my RGB Composition to full (On windows: CLICK. With xrandr it doesnt work. Setting RGB broadcast cause that screen "blink" one time and that's all the effect.
My monitor is iiyama G-MASTER G2530HSU. I connect it via HDMI cabel only.
And you are probably right:
And why it shows "width 64 bits" on 1050

Re: prime displays cannot be controlled..
First try to get the 1920x1080 at 75 Hz resolution.
Use these commands in the Terminal:
Use the command xrandr to check if 75 Hz is being used.
Use these commands in the Terminal:
Code: Select all
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_74.97" 174.50 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1119 +HSync -VSync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-1-2 1920x1080_74.97
xrandr --output HDMI-1-2 --mode 1920x1080_74.97

Did you mean that you tried using one of these commands. Full is the default value:
Code: Select all
xrandr --output HDMI -1-2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "0" (Full color range is 0; Limited is 1)
xrandr --output HDMI -1-2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full
This info comes from this web page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In ... problem.29
Note: Some monitors/TVs support both color range. In that case an option often known as Black Level may need to be adjusted to make them handle the signal correctly. Some TVs can handle signal in limited range only. Setting Broadcast RGB to "Full" will cause color clipping. You may need to set it to "Limited 16:235" manually to avoid the clipping.
However, I think the Broadcast RGB option only works with the Intel driver. For Mint 19, the default driver is modesetting. To switch to the intel driver, do these steps:
Use this command to create an xorg.conf file:
sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Use this command to open the file for editing:
xed admin:///etc/X11/xorg.conf
Add these lines:
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection
inxi -Gx
to get the correct one. If the output says bus-ID: 00:02.0
, then use the line above. If the output says bus-ID: 01:00.0
, then change the line above to BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Reboot or logout and back in. If you can’t get back to the desktop, then press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to enter the virtual console tty1. Login and then type this command to remove the xorg.conf file and reboot:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf; reboot
Then try using these commands for Full or Limited color range:
Code: Select all
xrandr --output HDMI -1-2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "0"
xrandr --output HDMI -1-2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "1"
Re: prime displays cannot be controlled..
Hello, I have a similar issue with the same card. A 1050m 4GB DDR5 on an ASUS laptop.
I want to enable coolbits and use GWE to control clocks and fan but as soon as I invoke the coolbits through terminal with the (supposedly) correct commands the laptop is rendered blind and onlñy can boot it with terminal, delete the xorg.conf file created (which didn't exist before and reboot. The it will start as usual...
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.
