Without knowledge of your DM we cannot find out where it logs to, though.
GNOME, so I guess gdm.
The screen usually goes into power save mode when it's idle for so long.
I know.
Moreover, this log file is for the fbdev driver which is unlikely to show a black screen if your console was working at all. Also it is even more unlikely that the screen is loosing the video signal when using this driver.
I was worried about the message: "Use of other console drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in corruption and stability problems, and is not supported."
Right. I see this as a disclaimer so that NVIDIA does not have to support and debug this if anything fails due to this.
Currently, I see two issues: 1. the G03 driver you've used reads a defective EDID extension block which is supplied by your monitor. So either the read procedure is wrong or the block sent by the monitor - in which case the NVIDIA driver should simply ignore it.
I suspected my KVM switch to need a reset (which I did in the meantime).
You should have done this right away.
This is something for NVIDIA to fix. 2. when you deinstall the G03 driver you will get the G04 driver (according to your comment #2). Not sure why this happened. This is something for us to determine. If the G04 packages support your hardware (PCI ID: 10de:0640) as well, it should have worked. Have you rebooted in between?
AFAIR: No (it takes too much time)
Now I'm getting slightly upset. You do not want to reboot the system because it takes too much time although the kernel driver has changed - but you expect me to either spend my company's or my spare time in supporting you? Sorry, I'm ending this here and now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
