[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
@Avery Day, I don't know if it's too late to add a comment to this bug... I have a problem now with 2.6.24-21-rt (#1 SMP PREEMPT RT) kernel and I have lspci -nn |grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV25GL [Quadro4 900 XGL] [10de:0258] (rev a3) and it worked with available modules in Gustsy's repo good enough for me at the max. resolution my monitor allowed (old LG monitor with max. 1024X768 res). Now with vesa that came with installation, is only 800X600 and cannot determine screen configuration, the restricted NVDIA driver works but only at 640X480 resolution, and envy install of same driver (96.43.05) yields a X server fatal error with no screen detected and module missing and I must fall back to vesa default via recovery mode. Also I typed in nv in device line in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and this yeilds in same 800X600 resolution and lower glx modes than I had in Gutsy. I want to know if your advice on loading the restricted driver, Revision 3 1. Download the 173.08 nvidia beta driver here http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html click on archive and find the 173.08 driver. 2. Purge the nvidia restricted package if installed by doing a dpkg --purge nvidia-glx-new 3. Kill the gdm server, /etc/init.d/gdm stop 4. Install the driver downloaded in step 1, unless you are brave you need to let the nvidia installer modify the xorg.conf file. 5. Black list the nv driver in the /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common (should look like this DISABLED_MODULES=nv) 5. start gdm server /etc/init.d/gdm start will likely solve my issue with Nvidia driver 96.43.07 as well, which is their latest driver for my card: Version: 96.43.07 Operating System: Linux x86 Release Date: July 16, 2008 Release Highlights * Fixed a problem that caused TV output on secondary TVs to be black and white on some GPUs. * Improved nvidia-xconfig behavior when updating X configuration files without a Module section. * Restored compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels. was the without a Module the issue anyways or is it possibly as chef mentions, As stated in the workaround, I went in the /lib/modules/2.6.24-xxx/modules.alias and I commented out the first two occurrences of AES that link to padlock and geode hardware. Now the issue seems to be the occurrences of AES that link to padlock and geode in the modules.alias file that stop the kernel from loading some device drivers. lastly, how do you get Screens and Graphics app.?

There is a better way than to uninstall the nvidia-kernel-common package and that is to blacklist the nv driver. I originally tried to do this in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file but that failed hence the reason why I said to uninstall the nvidia-kernel-common package (I was in a hurry).

I did that to comment out the Load glx line (put a # in column 1) but apparently that did not the trick but I have to use the line Disable glx in section Module.

Can you give me clues how to get that in the board. I don't do games but use the highest resolution to give me enough space on my screen (a.o. for audio editing with more than 12 channels).

[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
The 173.08 drivers change log says: Fixed a regression that caused invalid EDIDs to be detected for the internal display device on some notebooks. This confirms what the problem is for me. The 173.08 driver also has some other very important fixes and support for new video cards. I wonder how Ubuntu is going to address this one, its not that I am blaming Ubuntu but I am starting to see a lot of people reporting this problem and similar problems. Its a serous enough show stopper for some of us that it should be made official in some way with the Ubuntu developers. It would be nice if there was a nvidia-glx-new-beta driver in the repositories for situations like this. It just makes sense. Or at the very least an official how to on the Ubuntu website explaining how to properly install the nvidia's beta drivers. One of the advantages of having a nvidia-glx-new-beta package is the fact that when using the nvidia driver installer it hacks up the xorg.conf file and stomps on all of the hard work the Ubuntu installer did to correctly configure everything else. For example my synaptics touchpad configuration its now hosed since the nvidia driver installer updated the xorg.conf file for me. -- [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

... what's the process for getting a card into the database for PCI IDs? I see that it's already in the upstream database, and I found the update-pciids command. I also did some research and found that gdm decides what the screen resolution is be reading the first mode in the Display section of xorg.conf, and was able to fix the problem with the login screen by adjusting the order of the modes in that section so that gdm uses the correct resolution for the login screen.

[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
Timo, was the updated nv driver package included in the first official release on Thursday, or do we still need to update it ourselves? I ask because this bug persists on the official release I downloaded yesterday. Alternatively might the problem be something other than the unsupported pci-id's I'm a relative newbie so that might be a naive thing to say, if so I apologise in advance. Seth, Is your graphics hardware integrated on your motherboard or is it a seperate card? Again, I wouldn't really know if it makes any difference, just looking for similarities.

[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
Not sure how relevant this might be to most of you but I also had the same problem. Installing the nvidia-glx-new driver or nvidia-glx driver and restarting crashed xorg and I had to either type sudo dpkg- reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg in a virtual terminal or use bulletproof X to reconfigure the display for a different driver. By the way I have a nvidia 7100 graphics card. I also had an issue with the hardy heron kernel 2.6.24.16 not detecting my wireless card (Aironet/Cisco 340) after a long delay of about 2 minutes in the booting process before finally starting the X session. A bug report and fix for this issue is filed under https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/173418 . The workaround there fixed my wireless connection issue perfectly well. I then installed nvidia-glx-new again, restarted my computer and managed to login as normal. I also managed to get compiz-fusion with full 3d effects working as well :). As stated in the workaround, I went in the /lib/modules/2.6.24-xxx/modules.alias and I commented out the first two occurrences of AES that link to padlock and geode hardware. Now the issue seems to be the occurrences of AES that link to padlock and geode in the modules.alias file that stop the kernel from loading some device drivers. This worked for me, hope it works for everyone else. -- [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
I have the same problem. When I reboot, x server tries 3 times to start and then it switches to safe graphics mode (vesa, 800x600). When I hit test and manually select nv driver, it really works in test. However, when I continue, it somehow switches back to vesa. If I configure xorg.conf to use nv and reboot, it works. But of course hardware acceleration don't work. So I suppose this problem to be related to nvidia driver. Before today, I could overcome the unfortunate situation with switching to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), turning GDM of (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) and then running nvidia binary installer (sudo sh NVIDIA- Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run) and clicking yes to everything. After that, starting gdm did the trick (sudo gdm start), and hardware acceleration worked well.

[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
I just tried Hardy Alpha 6. I still get 800x600 by default but now the Screens and Graphics app. works and I can select the 'nv' driver and click Test and the test screen is correctly displayed and I can select my monitor manually as 1280x1024 and click Test and that also works. Looks like it's just the defaults that are not being correctly detected at startup. -- [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 173418] Re: [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd
Adding Driver nv to the device section of xorg.conf and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp did the trick and I'm now logged in to the live CD at 1280x1024 so it's definitely the autodetection. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = xorg -- [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
