It kinda works on my GeForce 8200. And it's kinda broken. While KMS works perfectly, from the console to logging into my Xfce desktop, performance is pretty bad. Nowhere *near* as bad as the proprietary driver is, but it's still definitely stuttering and slow in places while just doing 2D desktop work. I haven't tried 3D games yet. I checked my Xorg logs, and this is what I see: (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error creating GPU channel: -16 (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration. Falling back to NoAccel (==) NOUVEAU(0): Backing store disabled (==) NOUVEAU(0): Silken mouse enabled (II) NOUVEAU(0): NVEnterVT is called. (**) NOUVEAU(0): DPMS enabled (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 By far it looks like the biggest errors are in the EE lines, where it says it's falling back to NoAccel. How can I fix that? The other big problem is where it disables the backing store. Probably not good for performance. And lastly, it tells me it's not capable of DRI/DRI2, even though those are both installed and working correctly for my other (ATI) card. I'm using: kernel 2.6.33-rc7 (vanilla, straight from upstream) mesa git (today's checkout) libdrm git (today's checkout) xorg-server 1.7.99.2 dri2proto 2.2 xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.15_pre20100213 nouveau-firmware 20091212 I will say that there is no documentation at all for which specific nVidia GPU family my chipset belongs to -- only that it's "at least" nv50. The 8200 is just a downclocked 8300, and the interwebs indicate that the 8300 (GS) is an nv86 chip. So that's what I put in my kernel for the extra firmware: nv86.ctxprog/ctxvals. Maybe this is screwing things up? If I should actually be using the nv50 firmware, then lemme know -- I can recompile. I just thought that it was for the old 8800 cards. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
