[Nouveau] [TEST REQUEST] fermi (GeForce 4xx/5xx) ucode
Hey, I've just committed, to nouveau git, an initial attempt at a replacement for NVIDIA's PGRAPH ucode. It's been tested on NVC0 and NVC4 thus far, but in theory has support for NVC1, NVC3, NVC8 and NVCE also, it'd be good to see how people with these chipsets fare. If you're on NVC1/NVC8/NVCE, current nouveau git will disable acceleration by default anyway, as NVC1 is known broken, and NVC8/NVCE I'm not sure has ever been tested. To force nouveau to attempt acceleration, simply pass noaccel=0 as an option to the nouveau kernel module. Also, if there's someone out there reading this with a GF119 (NVD9) chipset, I'd love to get a mmiotrace of the NVIDIA binary driver on your card. Nouveau can be configured to use NVIDIA's ucode (ctxfw=1 module option), I thought it might be useful to switch back and forth to compare stablity/bugs/etc, at least initially. There's likely going to be a number of issues to sort out, so please let me know if you spot any! Thanks!

Re: [Nouveau] [TEST REQUEST] NV50/NV8x/NV9x/NVAx ctxpro g and ctxvals generator
Hello, Sorry for not answering to the right message, I've just joined the mailing list. I've tried this patch on my Quadro NVS 140M and it fails to load KDM. It shows the background but fails to show the credential edit boxes. It seems like the computer is locked up though the mouse can still move (can't do any VT switches) and I still can ssh on it. Needless to say this works without the patch ;) Aiii... ok, I accidentally introduced a bug in pre-NVA0 branch during last- minute cleanups... I just uploaded a new version at the same address that should fix that issue. Btw, to anyone reporting success/failure with the generator: please include your chipset code number [NV50, NV96, NVA5, etc.]. If you don't know what it is, just report the hex number in Detected an NV50 generation card (0x086900a2) line Sorry for that screwup Marcin Kościelnicki ___ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau

[Nouveau] [TEST REQUEST] NV50/NV8x/NV9x/NVAx ctxprog and ctxvals generator
http://0x04.net/~mwk/0001-drm-nv50-Implement-ctxprog-state-generation.patch This patch makes nouveau generate its own ctxprogs out of thin air on NV50 family cards and allows us to get rid of nvidia's firmware. It differs quite a bit from nvidia progs and needs thorough testing on as many chipsets and applications as possible, including gallium3d. Anything that works with nvidia firmware, but not with this generator, counts as a bug [yes, even if it involves gallium]. Please report back to my mail address, or to mwk on IRC.

Re: [Nouveau] [TEST REQUEST] NV50/NV8x/NV9x ctxprog and ctxvals generator
2009/12/22 Marcin Kościelnicki koria...@0x04.net: So, I wrote a generator for ctxprogs on NV50, NV84, NV86, NV92, NV94, NV96, NV98. Atm it's only tested with NV86 and I'd like to see if it works for all the other cards, especially NV50. NVAx support is still missing due to some differences, but should be coming soon. Address is http://0x04.net/~mwk/gen.diff , please test it with all mentioned cards, and involve as much gallium as possible. Anything that works with nvidia ctxprogs, but not with the generator counts as a bug. Report back to my mail address, or to mwk on IRC. Tested on nv84 (G84 [GeForce 8600M GT]). No obvious regressions. All my games still work fine with gallium. suspend/resuming while gallium is running does not seem worse than before (I already have many suspend/resuming problems with proprietary ctxprog , with or without 3d running). ___ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
