a couple things that may be worth testing:
1. do you get the same results when loading the "nvidia-modeset" vs "nvidia"
2. what does "pciconf -lv" report the PCI id for your nvidia device as? for
example here is how it is reporting on one of my systems:
vgapci1@pci0:60:0:0: class=0x030200 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de device=0x1d34 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x22a2
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GP108GLM [Quadro P520]'
class = display
subclass = 3D
note this is one of those weird optimus hybrid GPU systems, but pciconf
should point you to the correct device.
3. do you have the same issues when using the newer 470 or 510 nvidia drivers?
I think ideally Xorg should correctly auto-detect your device so no configs
will be needed to get you working, but hopefully some of these debug steps
will help.
