I am using a console inside mate. xdm runs at startup. I tried

1. stopping xdm
2. turning off the nvidia gpu at the console
3. starting xdm
and then each of the following
stoping xdm, turning off the computer, both work.

I don't care about changing GPU's with X running. That never worked
but I used to be able to turn them on and off with out having to leave
X. I don't understand why turning off a GPU that isn't generating any
video is a feature that got removed? Is there something as a
user/tester that I can do to help bring this back?

I don't expect GPU switching with X running to work any time soon.

1. Boot with the intel GPU driving the screen.
2. In mate desktop turn off the nvidia gpu via echo "OFF" >
/sys/kernel/.../switch
3. Try to do any of the following and the machine locks up turn on the
nvidia GPU, suspend the machine, try to change gpus, stop X (via

Yes I issue OFF while it is running and it works perfectly to turn off

[Nouveau] Bug Report on A1286 (Macbook Pro Mid 2012)

2016-11-25 Thread Evan Foss

Hi Folks,

I did some other bug reports here a while back. I am back again
because I updated my kernel from 3.19.1 to linux-4.8.10-gentoo (if you
want I can test the mainline too). On boot all my GPU's turn on. If I
turn them off via
echo "OFF"> /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
I can't turn them back on. They also do not turn on if I try to change
GPU's. Trying to stop xdm locks the machine so I can't even turn it
off. Suspend/resume still works. None of these problems existed in
3.19.1. I know you will need more info to track down the problem but I
wanted to open with this.

From my lspci
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core
processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce
GT 650M Mac Edition] (rev ff)

Thanks,
Evan

So apparently, you'll need to replace the first command by 'acpidump -b -t

Hi Pierre,

No worries about the response time. I remember when the features
matrix was mostly todo's. Clearly you folks have put in a ton of work.
I would feel bad about trying to shove a developer into my problem and
I do not have the time right now to join the development team. Besides
my day job I am currently writing a library to interpret BSDL files
(JTAG).

I am having a bit of trouble with acpidump which is telling me there
is no -n option. The acpidump I am running is from a package called
pmtools. Is that the correct thing? I am in gentoo and used the
following ebuild to do the install.

I see your point about using the intel instead of the nVidia GPU.

Many thanks for your help,

Hi Evan!

Sorry for taking so long before answering...
Thanks for the greps! It appears you have a newer version of apple_gmux
than I have, so let's see if something also changed in the _DSM method.
Could you please run - as root - `acpidump -b -n DSDT` which will create a
file named dsdt.dat containing the DSDT table, and then run `iasl -d
dsdt.dat` and send me the resulting dsdt.dsl file?
That way I will have the uuid, the available functions and their version
for your _DSM method.

Regarding bringing the clocks down, you could add a fake performance level
in the vbios but I'm not sure if it would be a good move. You should
rather power off the NVidia card and only use the Intel one - using
vgaswitcheroo, see [1]; once I have that dsdt.dsl file, I should be able
to add support for auto-powering down the NVidia card. Or you could try to
motivate some developers - or if you want to give it a try - to
investigate / add support for power and/or clock gating.

Pierre

  I have a side question which may be the subject of a future second
  bug
  report. I have been lurking on the nouveau mailing list for some
  time.
  I understand from various posts that the nvidia gpu clock speed
  right
  now is set to the lowest possible setting. Why does my machine run
  so
 
 
  Often but not always the case -- the clock speed is whatever the
  VBIOS
  leaves it in. For kepler, that is usually the lowest setting.
 
  much hotter in linux than macos? I turned off the intel graphics
  and
  the cpu clock is set to the lowest available speed.
 
 
  You should instead turn off the nvidia graphics and run off intel
  --
  intel is much less power-hungry than nvidia, even at the lowest
  clocks. If it's an optimus setup, the nvidia gpu should
  automatically
  power off until needed (either because some display is connected to
  it, or for offloading).
 
 
  How do I get a display of the GPU clocking speeds?
 
 
  You should see it in dmesg... look for CLK lines. The ones with --
  (or
  AC/DC) will show the current setting. Or boot with nouveau.pstate=1
  and you should have a /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pstate file.

Oh vgaswitcharoo is how I tried doing the GPU switch and check the
current setting (on/off) of each GPU.

 Hi Pierre,

 No worries about the response time. I remember when the features
 matrix was mostly todo's. Clearly you folks have put in a ton of work.
 I would feel bad about trying to shove a developer into my problem and
 I do not have the time right now to join the development team. Besides
 my day job I am currently writing a library to interpret BSDL files
 (JTAG).

 I am having a bit of trouble with acpidump which is telling me there
 is no -n option. The acpidump I am running is from a package called
 pmtools. Is that the correct thing? I am in gentoo and used the
 following ebuild to do the install.

 http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-power/pmtools/pmtools-20110323-r1.ebuild?view=markup
 which pulls this source
 https://github.com/anyc/pmtools/

 I see your point about using the intel instead of the nVidia GPU.

 Many thanks for your help,

 please run - as root - `acpidump -b -n DSDT` which will create a file named 
 dsdt.dat containing the DSDT table, and then run `iasl -d dsdt.dat` and send 
 me the resulting dsdt.dsl file?
 That way I will have the uuid, the available functions and their version for 
 your _DSM method.

 Regarding bringing the clocks down, you could add a fake performance level 
 in the vbios but I'm not sure if it would be a good move. You should rather 
 power off the NVidia card and only use the Intel one - using vgaswitcheroo, 
 see [1]; once I have that dsdt.dsl file, I should be able to add support for 
 auto-powering down the NVidia card. Or you could try to motivate some 
 developers - or if you want to give it a try - to investigate / add support 
 for power and/or clock gating.

 Regards,

 Pierre

 I tried to work out how to get optimus to work. After trying several
 different sets of instructions I never found a working configuration

 software has adopted it so my needs changed.

 I will get back to you with more results on this matter after I get
 the newer kernel up.

 Often but not always the case -- the clock speed is whatever the VBIOS
 leaves it in. For kepler, that is usually the lowest setting.

 much hotter in linux than macos? I turned off the intel graphics and
 the cpu clock is set to the lowest available speed.

 You should instead turn off the nvidia graphics and run off intel --
 intel is much less power-hungry than nvidia, even at the lowest
 clocks. If it's an optimus setup, the nvidia gpu should automatically
 power off until needed (either because some display is connected to
 it, or for offloading).


 How do I get a display of the GPU clocking speeds?

 You should see it in dmesg... look for CLK lines. The ones with -- (or
 AC/DC) will show the current setting. Or boot with nouveau.pstate=1
 and you should have a /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pstate file.

 Is 3.18.7 recent enough?

 Yes, the fix is in 3.17 and later (commit

I am running a mid 2012 macbook pro. 650M nVidia chip. There is something
funky
with the glx rendering. I tried the various things in the troubleshooting
guide
and got no where. If need be I can email the following two images to the list

For those in the far future who may find the above links dead the images show
glxgears rendering at +3K frames a second. The glxgears window however has
blocks missing with only a single pixel in each one being rendered.

I have tested the following kernel versions and found this to be true for all
of the following.

gentoo-sources-3.12.13

2015-02-14 Thread Evan Foss

First sorry about miss posting the bug report under Bug 71455 Thermal
management in nouveau running hot 3.12.0+ kernel I really don't
understand how the bugzilla user interface works.

I have a side question which may be the subject of a future second bug
report. I have been lurking on the nouveau mailing list for some time.
I understand from various posts that the nvidia gpu clock speed right
now is set to the lowest possible setting. Why does my machine run so
much hotter in linux than macos? I turned off the intel graphics and
the cpu clock is set to the lowest available speed.

How do I get a display of the GPU clocking speeds?

 Try something more recent -- a block compression setup issue was fixed in
 some recent kernel version.

Thanks again.

This works and the heat has dropped substantially. It is still not as
cool as I would like but this will do for now. I still need to file a
bug report with the intel / apple gmux people.
