[Bug 1429026] Re: nvidia graphics card not detected

 

** Description changed:

- Hi,
- 
- I am using the following Hardware:
- 
- Motherboard GA-J1900N-D3V
- Garphics card Zotac GT 610 PCI
- Monitor Asus PB278Q
- 
  As the on-board intel HD graphics GPU can not drive the 2560x1440
- resolution of athe monitor I need the graphics card. The motherboard
- only comes with a PCI slot, so I chose the Zotac GT610 PCI card.
- However, it is not recognized by the sytem.
- 
- here is the output of lspci -nn

  [    0.874589] fb0: EFI VGA frame buffer device
  [    2.202555] fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs EFI VGA - removing generic driver
  
  I have researched the 'conflicting fb hw ...' message. I do not know if this is related to the problem but the www-posted solutions don't help in my case:
  1: try install nivdia proprietary drivers - the NVIDIA installer did not find a card
  2: remove gfxmode $linux_gfxmode from grub
  
  Other attempts:
  I have set my BIOS to video: UEFI first (as recommended by the support team from GIGABYTE) but that did not change anything, either - still booting with intel HD graphics only
- I have turned off ontel onboard graphics which makes the system to fail booting at all (BIOS reset required to get back)
- 
- Other observations:
- The system is not even recognizing the 1920x1080 resolution for intel HD graphics, I have to add it via xrandr. Strangely, when doing so, i get the 1920x1080, but a monitor-error message pops up (this comes from the monitor hardware directly, not from ubuntu) telling me that I am not using a DUAL link DVI cable (which is not true, I do use a DVI-D Dual Link which was perfectly capable of transmitting all high resolutions) - this looks like an intel HD driver issue - but I can clear this error message by pressing a monitor key...
