RE: [gentoo-user] Modular Xorg 7 won't start with nVidia GeForce4 440 Go [SOLVED]

2006-05-22 Thread Daevid Vincent 
I finally got this working it seems. 

These links were very helpful:

I can't recall the exact thing that solved it, but I suspect it was the
nvidia/tls thing in the first post. I un/merged, un/masked, rm -rf  so many
things I can't remember anymore. But at the end of the day, I do have the
latest nvidia drivers working in OpenGL glory on my Dell i8200 notebook
GeForce 440 card.

Glxgears gives me:
7630 frames in 5 seconds = 1526 FPS +/-

Now if only I could figure out a way to get the video card to not share an
IRQ with SEVEN other things including my eth0, wlan and usb amongst other
things -- then it wouldn't studder. *sigh*.

  This should not be needed.  The X server (actually, the 
 nvidia module
  loaded in the X server) should create these automatically if they do
  not exist.  From an strace of X on my system after removing the
  nvidiactl and nvidia0 device nodes:
 
 Okay. I removed them. Thanks.
 
   So what is causing X7 to crash is when I set:
   eselect opengl set nvidia
 
  If you comment out the line:
  
  Load glx
  
  in xorg.conf, do you still get the crash?
 
 No. X starts now. But glxgears segfaults.
  
  How are you starting the X server?  Does it still crash if 
  you run just X :0?
 
 I type startx.
 
 X :0 just gives me (as you probably already know) a 
 checker-board backdrop
 and a cursor. Can't do anything else with it.
 
  Take the most recent version of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx 
  (~x86) and
  take a look at /etc/modules.d/nvidia. There something about a
  module-option for notebook systems.
 
 Tried various ways with and without this option enabled.
 However, it says that's to solve hard lock ups. I don't 
 have that problem.
 X starts, then just dies (if I have the wrong combination of 
 eselect/glx).
 It's definitely related to OpenGL now...
 
 Tried rebooting after a few different option/tweaks just to 
 be sure too.

What DE do you normally run?  KDE, Gnome, ?  It seems to me that one
the programs being started as part of the DE is trying to use opengl,
and causing a crash.

Have you tried playing with the RenderAccel, NoRenderExtension,
NoFlip, and AllowGLXWithComposite options?  The safest settings for
these should be:

Option RenderAccel Off
Option NoRenderExtension On
Option NoFlip On
Option AllowGLXWithComposite Off

Maybe an idiot question... Have you tried the drivers directly from
NVidia, unmerging the nvida-kernel and nvidia-glx drivers and just
downloading and running the NVidia Installer? I just say that because
I once had problems with the portage versions, tried the installer and
it worked. In another computer I had no problems, but after putting
the NVidia installed driver it gained 20% performance...

RE: [gentoo-user] Modular Xorg 7 won't start with nVidia GeForce4 440 Go

2006-04-10 Thread Daevid Vincent 

I still cannot get X to start with the nvidia drivers. However, I did take
(someones?) suggestion and tried both the vesa and nv drivers and they
both work. I say work because with 'vesa', I get a HUGE (i.e. low rez)
screen = unuseable. And with the 'nv' I get the right resolution 1600x1200,
but I get horrible frame-rates (glxgears).

I tried to turn off the RenderAccel option with 'nvidia' but no joy.

RE: [gentoo-user] Modular Xorg 7 won't start with nVidia GeForce4 440 Go

2006-04-10 Thread Daevid Vincent 
I'm getting closer to narrowing this down.

One of the problems is that /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh has been yanked from me
in some nvidia ebuild update. Grr. 

Do this instead:
-
# /etc/conf.d/local.start

# This is a good place to load any misc programs
# on startup ( use 12 to hide output)

# added by DV as per some email discussion on the nVidia drivers and UDEV

  for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
node=/dev/nvidia$i
rm -f $node
mknod $node c 195 $i  || echo mknod \$node\
chmod 0660 $node  || echo chmod \$node\
chown :video $node|| echo chown \$node\
  done
   
  node=/dev/nvidiactl
  rm -f $node
  mknod $node c 195 255   || echo mknod \$node\
  chmod 0666 $node|| echo chmod \$node\
  chown :video $node  || echo chown \$node\
-

The module still loaded which was throwing me off. I would have expected it
not to.

So what is causing X7 to crash is when I set:

eselect opengl set nvidia

X won't even start (see previous emails for the errors). It wants to. The
screen goes blank and the resolution blinks and then crash.

But if I set:

eselect opengl set xorg-x11

Then X7 starts, but glxgears appears to barely move, yet it claims ~230fps
?!!?

All of this worked just fine in X6.8.

I'm using the latest 8756 version of the nvidia driver.

Try this -

emerge -av =nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3 =nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1

Set the /etc/X11/xorg.conf driver def to nvidia and re-try starting X.

I tried to re-emerge the drivers:

media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r7 [1.0.8178-r1] 0 kB

This will usually cause a fatal server error.  I suggesting editing
xorg.conf and pointing the mouse a /dev/input/mice.

If that doesn't help, the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be the
most useful thing for us to see.

That error is bogus as that had to do with the Xorg -configure version. 

If you notice, the real 'startx' uses my regular /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
that worked fine with Xorg 6.8 and has no such mouse error.

 If that doesn't help, the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be the
 most useful thing for us to see.

Not sure what is going here.  The backtrace starts from some font
handling functions, but I don't see anything significant in your log
that points to a font issue.  And the backtrace itself doesn't seem to
make any sense.

On my system (using modular X with the nvidia 8178 driver), an strace
of the X server shows that the input devices are initialized almost
immediately after the GLX initialization completes:

13611 write(0, (II) Initializing extension GLX\n, 32) = 32
13611 open(/usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy, O_RDONLY) = 11
13611 fstat64(11, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2925, ...}) = 0
13611 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6651000
13611 read(11, version-1 \n\n# $Xorg: SecurityPol..., 4096) = 2925
13611 read(11, , 4096)= 0
13611 close(11) = 0
13611 munmap(0xb6651000, 4096)  = 0
13611 time(NULL)= 1143686197
13611 write(0, (II) Synaptics touchpad driver v..., 53) = 53
13611 write(0, (**) Option \Device\, 20) = 20
13611 write(0,  \/dev/input/event1\, 20) = 20

This leads me again to think that there is a problem with the input devices.

Have you tried doing a revdep-rebuild?  Have you verified your
'eselect opengl' settings?  What use flags did you build with (emerge
-pv xorg-x11 xorg-server)
