that helpful, but in case it is, I included everything I thought might
be wanted.
Quick review: I've just built X for BLFS-7.10. Testing X fails to
start. (I really don't care at this point whether it uses the VESA or
Nouveau drivers. Using "nomodset" in the kernel command line let's me
try both ways. Both fail.) This seems to be the problem, but I don't
understand why--X is supposed to pretty much autoconfigure:
[ 33.825] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1
[ 33.825] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config
section.
[ 33.825] (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
[ 33.825] (EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config
file.
I add package management around the outside, but I do try to FBBG! Can
anybody help identify what is wrong, where I need to look?
Hi Paul,
A few things to try.
In your Kernel Config you should only have to select the following:
Bus Options >
[*] Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer
Device Drivers > Graphics support >
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI
support) --->
[*] DRM DP AUX Interface
[*] Enable legacy fbdev support for your modesetting driver
<*> Nouveau (NVIDIA) cards
[*] Support for backlight control
[*] Bootup logo --->
[*] Standard 224-color Linux logo
(De-select everything else under Graphics support)
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ the should only be 1 file:
root [ /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ]# cat nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
That configuration works for me, using:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX
770] (rev a1)
During boot the screen will automatically switch to Framebuffer mode
(aka. High Resolution).
So you don't need any modesetting added to the boot-loader.
Hope this helps :)
Best regards
