Bug 1624337

I basically can see the same messages when booting with no screen attached and than plug just one monitor in. The result is the same, so black screens or rather  monitoring just reporting it is switching to powersave mode but xrandre seems to be happy:

Hi Tomas,

This bug is on the list of candidates to be documented for RHEL 7.6 Release Notes.

Please, could you provide initial info in CCWR structure (cause, consequence, workaround, result) to document this bug?

Thank you!

Marie

Well this is a consequence of Bug 1457161, due to missing signed firmware for this particular graphics it can operate only using just single monitor output. The workaround is installing/build nvidia binary driver.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
