I also have this problem. Everything unaccelerated comes up as trash, even on the kernel framebuffer (if acceleration was switched off). Or for example I can see most of the graphics ok, but if I use ShadowFB then the whole screen is unusable. And the cursor is garbage too most of the time. This is nothing new, but I found a way to make it work. I have two systems installed (latest debian/testing). I boot the first one to X with the nvidia drivers. Then I use kexec to boot into the second system (also debian/testing), which is using nouveau. And at this time, all the graphics are fine! So something is initialized by the nvidia driver, which is not touched by nouveau but is required for correct operation. Is there a way I could help? Like dumping register states with/without the nvidia init? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga & nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/653714/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi, I do not know if it may be still relevant after nv28m dicoveries but here's some quick info (with a debian testing fully updated a month ago).

Without modeset=0 the screen gets scrambled. With it, it is correct. That's at least minimum functionality. I tried agpmode=0 but it didn't work. Also, modinfo didn't list a parameter by that name, so I chose the one that looked closest. I don't really know what happened, but I'm not demanding w.r.t. high-speed rendering, so I'm content.

On Lubuntu 14.04.3 (I think it's Kernel 3.19.x) "nouveau.agpmode=0" also works, although standby still doesn't seem to work. What I want to note though, is, that activating the Shadow Framebuffer in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf results in a substantial performance increase regarding scrolling and so on.

I've wasted a lot of time with the mmio registers to find out why things go slow. But it seems it's something else. Just loading the nvidia kernel module without starting X is enough to make nouveau go fast after kexec. I did an mmio trace while loading the module, but it only wrote 140 to 0, and that was all. I've checked the PCI config space, also nothing interesting.

Even more interesting, your trace actually has [0] 1012.956817 MMIO32 R 0x100080 0xe100 PFB+0x80 => 0xe100 [0] 1012.956820 MMIO32 W 0x100080 0xe100 PFB+0x80 <= 0xe100 Which means that it _starts out_ at 0xe100.

BTW, interesting. In your VBIOS, it tells us to do 0xcbf2: 7a 80 00 10 00 00 00 00 e0 ZM_REG R[0x100080] = 0xe000 Which is why that bit gets lost on resume (but not on kexec, since init scripts don't run, since the adapter is already init'd). Good to know, that means that any fixup would have to be made _after_ the bios gets executed... or more likely, as part of the COMPUTE_MEM thing (meminit in core/subdev/devinit/nv20.c), which gets executed in "init script 5", which happens after that "init script 1" which contains the 0x100080 = 0xe000 command. Although then it wouldn't happen on boot, so nevermind.

I was secretly hoping that by ignoring the issue for a short while, one of the hardware owners would step up and work it out :) Looks like register 100080 isn't documented in rnndb. In the linux source it's referred to as NV04_PFB_DEBUG_0. Unfortunately on a quick grep of the code, nothing ever touches bit 24 of that register. There are three ways forward: 1. Set it for all nv04:nv50 cards 2. Set it for nv28 cards 3. Reach out to nvidia and see if they'll be kind enough to let us know the meaning of that bit, and when we should be setting it. They've been fielding some questions of late, and this seems likely to be one that they'd answer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga & nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/653714/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I had the feeling that there's not much chance that the dump alone will help. So I did some debugging on my own, after all it can't be that hard if I have the hardware at hand to play with ;) First I've collected all writes locations out from the dump, and ignored the part which looked like a frame buffer. I got around 260 locations, I guess most of these must be mapped registers. Then I did the nvidia boot and kexec to nouveau, when everything works except that the GPU locks after a while. Anyway, it's stable enough to dump of those 260 registers. Then I made a suspend to RAM, and back. Screen trashing is back of course, but let's dump those registers again. Comparing the dumps reveals that 30 locations are different now. I wrote all those registers back as they were before the suspend. Of course console went immediately blank. But I can still start X blindly, which hangs of course, but at least I can move a flawless cursor around. (normally it's trashed as well) So it must be one of these. I resorted to normal bisecting from here to find transhing/non-trashing set of registers. There were plenty of hangs and reboots ;) At the end I got what I wanted. The winner is: nvapoke 00100080 e100 This register is e000 after suspend or after clean boot. So all this trouble only because of a single bit was not set ;( The earlier GPU lockup (with kexec nouveau after nvidia driver init) does not happen anymore when I only set this bit, but nothing else. It probably must be due to some other uninitialized state, but I'm not sure if it's worth to find out what it is, after all the default state on boot is ok. >From here I pass the ball back. Please, with this knowledge could someone fix up the driver? Most likely it would be better done on the kernel side as the KMS frame buffer is affected too. Of course testing patches should be no problem ;) Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga & nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/653714/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I just discovered this bug as I acquired a Dell Inspiron 8500 a few weeks back and ran into the same problem. In fact, on my machine (same nVidia graphics), the problem even seems worse: Any attempt at using the nouveau driver so far has not only produced the distortions described by the original poster, but also ended with a GPU lock-up after a few minutes maximum. For that reason, I'm now running Xubuntu 12.04 on that machine, as this distribution still provides the older nvidia-96 proprietary driver - newer distros apparently dropped this version. With the proprietary driver, the laptop runs fine and actually quite smooth (considering the age and specs). As it would be nice to be able to run newer Linux distros on this machine, I'd be happy to help with experimenting/testing. I could install a newer distro (and hence - presumably - newer nouveau driver) on a second hard drive or on an external drive so I can test stuff. Any preferences which distro would be most helpful for you? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga & nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/653714/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

John Navitsky, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Nouveau has not supported the NV28 video cards since Ubuntu 8.10 was issued (8.04 worked perfectly). In my case I have an nVidia Geforce4 4200 [NV28] factory-OEM installed in a Dell Latitude D800 notebook. There is no replacement video card for this notebook that I am aware of and replacement would be uneconomical in any case. Since it appears that nVidia is on the verge of dropping support for the video cards requiring the nvidia-96 driver, it would seem that nouveau will be the only option in short order. Currently, the nvidia-96 driver is ABI incompatible with Ubuntu 12.04, which requires a rollback to the xorg server-xorg version from Oneiric to get the video card to run. My symptoms under nouveau are that the cursor/pointer is garbled to the point of unusability. The desktop itself is clear but with occasional glitches; without a proper pointer, the GUI cannot be accurately utilized. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/653714/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I have exactly the same problem as the original poster, also with a D800 and wuxga 1920x1200 If it helps, I have noticed that sometimes my screen shows correctly (the graphics are fine and so is the cursor), perhaps when I log back on after the screensaver kicked in. So it seems to me that everything needed to render correctly is likely installed. Still, it is damn annoying not to have even a workaround and regretfully it is a show stopper for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 653714] Re: X display shows garbage w/ nouveau Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 (NV28)
As a workaround, I was able to get the nvidia-96 drivers working, but it isn't quite seamless. First, I removed all nvidia packages that were currently installed (with --purge), then selected and installed the nvidia-96 drivers by searching nvidia within the Ubuntu Software Center and selecting nvidia-96. At this point the display would not start with the xorg.conf generated by the nvidia-xconfig utility. If you tried to start X with this xorg.conf file, you'd get a complaint that it couldn't find the nvidia driver. Without an xorg.conf file, X would start, but set to a lower resolution with no ability to switch to 1920x1200. At some point, I wondered if the nouveau driver was conflicting. I removed the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package (again with --purge) and then (with no xorg.conf file) the nvidia 96 driver started working correctly with full resolution. So the working config is: jo...@johnn-craylap:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nvidia nvidia-96 install nvidia-glx-96 install nvidia-settings install jo...@johnn-craylap:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nouve libdrm-nouveau1 install jo...@johnn-craylap:~$ ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory jo...@johnn-craylap:~$ -- X display shows garbage w/ nouveau Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 (NV28) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 653714] [NEW] X display shows garbage w/ nouveau Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 (NV28)
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau I have a Dell D800 laptop with high resolution screen (1920x1200) that was working fine with Ubuntu 10.04. I performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 which appears to use the nouveau driver. The screen now displays garbage, more pronounced on icons, where text seems to render fairly well. I've attached a picture of the screen to illustrate. While I've tried to intall the Nvidia drivers, this problem manifested from the initial install of the 10.10 alternate RC disc, and remains present with all packages updated as of 10/1 where no alternate driver install was attempted. Please let me know what information I might be able to provide that would be useful in fixing this problem.
