cannot enable HDR on RTX 5060
NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
580.82.09-2
Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.
- [x] I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.
Operating System and Version
Description: Arch Linux
Kernel Release
Linux astraTZ 6.16.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 11 Sep 2025 17:42:36 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.
- [x] I am running on a stable kernel release.
Hardware: GPU
GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (UUID: GPU-c3ff4948-5d54-0f6c-6950-5e78c6b495eb)
Describe the bug
There is no way to enable HDR on RTX 5060. I tried different desktop environments, from Gnome to Hyprland to KDE Plasma, HDR does not work on all of them. But when I switch my GPU from 5060 to 3060, HDR works perfect on my platform and settings. Since proprietary driver does not support 50 series, I figured this is the only place that I can be able to get some help. I am just wondering if HDR is already supported on 5060 by open kernel modules? If so, there must be something very wrong with my configuration. If someone is able to get HDR enabled on 5060, please reply to let me know that I am missing something. Your attention is greatly appreciated.
To Reproduce
Install Arch Linux on a platform with RTX 5060. Install whatever DE you like. Install nvidia-open and whatever packages that are required. Btw I don't think this problem is arch-specific.

It's been over a month and there still hasn't been any reply to this issue.
@Zhu-Aemon sorry for the delay in response. I will try to reproduce this issue early next week and investigate.
Hmm, I have not had issues enabling HDR using the 50-series GPU I had available. @Zhu-Aemon does this issue reproduce with 580.95?
If it does reproduce with 580.95, would you mind sharing your EDID by running KDE and then using the following command?
cat /sys/class/drm/card<appropriate connector here>/edid > edid.bin
You can verify the edid.bin using edid-decode. Ex. edid-decode edid.bin.
After some tweaking under hyprland. I am able to get HDR working. But the brightness will only appear normal when I manually set sdr_brightness to 1.5. I thought this might be a Hyprland issue, might not be related to the driver.
However, HDR still doesn't work under Gnome even though the HDR toggle is on. This also might be a Gnome issue.
This is the EDID information of my monitor
