My suspicion is that the screen size or refresh frequency of my NVIDIA are being set out of range, hence the apparent random noise on the display. Furthermore, if I go to the Fedora display settings dialog under Gnome then I only see a single display. Try -G -displayĪlthough I can still access the system via the VMWare remote console, or SSH command line, the NVIDIA monitor is essentially useless.

Based on this, I'm guessing the issue arises when Gnome takes over. On some occasions it even displays my user name logon prompt for a fraction of a second. the prompt field for the disk password and the Fedora 'broken-infinity” symbol during the subsequent boot.

Note that the screen does seem to work and even displays useful info during the boot-up - e.g. In the end though, I have done a fresh install from the Fedora Live distribution disk, in the hope that this will take me back to basics. I have tried numerous ways of solving the problem, including installing NVIDIA native drivers and manually installing various other drivers, including RPM Fusion. Unfortunately, whenever I boot the system, the monitor ends up showing a load of ‘noise’ at the top of the screen, with no useful info. I have installed an NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 graphics card into a riser board and would like to use this as my primary monitor. I am trying to configure a copy of Fedora 34 running as a VMWare 6.7 client, on a Dell R710 blade.
