Title:
Kernel modules: nvidia, nvidia-173, nvidia-current, nouveau, nvidiafb
| FPS drops to 3/4 sinec upgrading to 11.04
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
My post is #21 on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-
graphics-drivers/+bug/726496 although I have two of the different
problems mentioned, and then some more as an apparent consequence.
Since upgrading from Ubuntu 10.10 I have had problems with graphics.
The problems started after I initially upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 but
then installed xubuntu-desktop over it, but I have had the same
problem all my fresh installs of Xubuntu 11.04 too.
FPS previously averaging about 30 or 35 FPS while playing an OpenGL
game with WINE now starts at 20 FPS for 2 or 3 minutes and then slows
down to 2-5 FPS.
Unfortunately Applications Menu >> System >> Additional Drivers or
jockey shows:
'The driver is activated but not currently in use.' - see attached
screenshot.
Restart and/or switching to the other driver, and/or back, and/or
restarting does nothing.
dusf@banshee:~$ lspci -k

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE]
(rev a1)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0405
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidia-current, nvidia-173, nouveau, nvidiafb
Although now Kernel modules also includes 'nvidia' after my attempts
to fix the problem which I shall get on to.
I was advised on the WINE HQ forums:
'You are using both the proprietary and FOSS drivers. Remove the FOSS
drivers (nouveau) and use only the nVidia supplied drivers.'
I used *synaptic to uninstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau as there is
no package which is just 'nouveau'.
Edited a line in /etc/default/grub to:
'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset
rdblacklist=nouveau"'
Then:
'sudo update-grub'
On rebooting none of these measures made any difference to FPS
performance, or the kernel modules listed in lspci -k.
Further following advice from the WINE HQ forums I executed:
'sudo modprobe -r nouveau'
but the above also made no difference to FPS performance, or the
kernel modules listed in lspci -k.
I tried another fresh install of Xubuntu 11.04, formatting /home and
/boot partition (if relevant), and as advised from #Xubuntu on
freenode I installed all updates before going near jockey or
Applications Menu >> System >> Additional Drivers but nothing had
changed from there or the output of lspci -k.
On further advice last night from #Xubuntu I *executed:
'sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau'
And then added the following lines to the bottom of
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv
I saved the file, and then rebooted into recovery mode to bring up a
tty without x running where I had to chmod +x NVIDIA-
Linux-x86-270.41.06.run before installing which warned me there was a
problem with the preconfigured distribution script but installed
anyway.
On logging in lspci -k now outputs

Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidia, nvidia-173, nvidia-current, nouveau, nvidiafb
...which includes the additional nvidia module but jockey still is the
same and I just confirmed my FPS will still start at 20 FPS and drop
to 2-5 FPS shortly after starting an OpenGL game with WINE.

Where do I go from here? I want to keep trying to fix this problem,
but I will downgrade to Xubuntu 10.10 if absolutely necessary.
