When I enable modesetting with nvidia 375.20 I get this error message in dmesg
[drm:nvidia_drm_gem_import_nvkms_memory [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to import NVKMS memory to GEM object

I have Fedora 25 and I am using Xorg.

dmesg shows

I believe this is related to GBM and EGL handling on Wayland. Recent gnome uses only Wayland by default. I am on Debian (Sid), so everything is up to date.

Do you run latest kernel (staging) any chance?
There was recently big refactoring around fenceing infrastructure that might cause module ABIs break,
notably fence_ functions becoming dma_fence_ functions along with some other minor tweaks.
Not sure why it wouldn’t whine about missing symbols properly, but I guess it might be the case.

My kernel is 4.8.0, which is stable, the mainline kernel is 4.9.
I attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz with all information on my environment.

Still present with nvidia 375.26 and kernel kernel-4.8.14-300.fc25.x86_64. Kernel mode setting is enabled.

Is there any workaround?
My external monitor wasn’t able to switch on but detected using xrandr. Just blank and could not enable.

$ xrandr --output DP-1-9 --mode 1280x1024 --crtc 4 --verbose
crtc 4: 1280x1024 75.02 +0+0 “DP-1-9”
xrandr: Configure crtc 4 failed

tried with other crtc number but still failed.

Facing with the exact same error under Ubuntu 18.04.5 as well. Any updates regarding this issue?

I’ve removed this nvidia driver package :

nvidia-driver-450.57-1.fc32.x86_64
nvidia-driver-devel-450.57-1.fc32.x86_64
nvidia-driver-libs-450.57-1.fc32.x86_64

and change to xorg nvidia package :

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel-450.66-1.fc32.x86_64
nvidia-libXNVCtrl-devel-450.66-1.fc32.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs-450.66-1.fc32.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-450.66-1.fc32.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-450.66-1.fc32.x86_64

The error seems to be gone and I can use my external monitor. Attaching 3 external monitors with docking.

Hmm, looks like similar problem here I got too.

I can reproduce this error with Travel fever 2 and the latest nvidia driver with Fedora 37 and wayland.
