Set the DisplayPort version in the G9’s on-screen menu to 1.2, replug the cable, and check whether xrandr shows that DP output as connected.
If it still shows disconnected, replug the cable and right after run:
sudo journalctl -k -b | grep -i -E 'nvidia|drm'
Look for link training or EDID errors on that connector.
Also run cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset and confirm it returns Y.

False. Samsung’s own troubleshooting page for the OLED G9 tells you to go to Menu > System > DisplayPort Ver. > 1.2 or 1.1, then reconnect the cable when the host doesn’t negotiate DP 1.4 cleanly. Users on the Neo G9 report the same OSD option, having dropped the DP setting to 1.2 and 1.1 (OSD) while troubleshooting a no-signal problem. Dropping the version is a standard troubleshooting step. At 1.2 the monitor stops requiring DSC and HBR3, so if link training is the problem the port will often show up as connected even though 240Hz won’t be available.
And nvidia_drm.modeset is a kernel bool parameter, and sysfs renders bools as Y or N.
