In some situations that will not work... for example 7.2 completely
fails on a P35 chipset... see my update post for some ideas.

I fear it's a hard reboot then, if DDB doesn't catch anything. DDB is a kernel 
debugger, even if dump isn't on, it will catch panic stages.

Stray bytes and truncated files are another sign of hard reboot. I'm afraid 
only nvidia can catch this one. Try downgrading to Xorg 7.2 and use the 97xx 
series of the driver, then freeze it until you see some solution posted :p

I compiled these options in last night, but I'm afraid I'm not quite
sure what special steps I need to do to utilize those options, if any.
I built that kernel, booted into it, started xorg with the nvidia
driver, it immediately reboots just as it did before.

Something else that's odd that just started happening that's similar
to the original poster- their xorg.conf was being truncated to zero
bytes. Mine somehow gets changed to what appears to be a different
version. The bottom line in it is about 20 "U"s, and the 'Driver
"nvidia"' lines I added were gone. I have several xorg.conf files
named other things, but none have these characteristics.

I was the single monitor issue, on the single monitor it does not
reboot unless you set probe_all_gpu's *BUT* it does fail to reconize
all nVidia cards (so does nv)... as far I can tell neither drive
understands 64bit io space and PCI/AGP... the clue is the addr
conflicts that everyone seems to get... btw I think it might of fried
my 8k but at least gives me vesa with no weird video probs on the 5200
GT I have now (1024x768 ;-()).

I forgot, but was there one person in the thread that has only 1 monitor 
attached to 1 card? Cause you're the 3rd I see with multiple monitor issues.
Ironically, we have one system with CRT + TV-OUT through one card, with no 
issues whatsoever (500GB HDD, DVDRW, rock on!). However I turned off Xinerama 
support from the get go and use TwinView.

With all the Xorg 7.3 issues, I have not gone that road nor plan to anytime 
soon.

I also think we've had all the different cards by now, a quatro, GeForce 5k, 
7k, 6k...

Maybe someone can build a WITNESS/DDB kernel, since dumping seems to be 
failing?

nvidia-driver rebooting machine on X startup

2007-09-24 Thread falz
I came across this thread on freebsd-questions after some searching on
google. I have the exact same issue as others here- if xorg is started
with 'nvidia' as the driver, instant reboot. However, my machine is a
100% fresh install with things compiled from source this weekend.
However, I did have to install some binary vncserver packages, but
they have since been removed.

I did the 'xorg' meta port which got me the current xorg-7.3_1. The
machine I did the install on was running Debian Unstable for about a
year without issue with the same hardware (two cards for 3 monitors):

Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia0:  mem
0xdd00-0xddff,0xb000-0xbfff,0xde00-0xdeff irq
16 at device 0.0 on pci1
Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia1:  mem
0xdb00-0xdbff,0xc000-0xcfff irq 18 at device 2.0 on
pci3
Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia1: [GIANT-LOCKED]

I went through many of the steps people spoke of earlier in this
thread, which were some AGP workarounds that are mentioned in Chapter
9:

/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-100.14.11/doc/README

No matter what is done, always an instant reboot if I use the "nvidia"
driver in the xorg.conf. Out of curiosity, is anyone actively using
xorg-7.3_1 with nvidia-driver-100.14.11 and having it work?

I too am not quite sure what to look for in the output of 'ldconfig
-r', but I can see that there is nothing linked against any pre-xorg
7.x stuff there:

# ldconfig -R | grep X11 | wc -l
   0

Also, the person who had things linked that were stale appears to have
been having a different problem that does NOT cause a reboot:

The update alone hasn't done anything for me, but I'm thinking I'm
suffering from an issue not directly related to the driver itself;
stale libraries like Mel suggested, or something.

I just completed an update to xorg-7.3_1 following the procedure in
UPDATING 20070519. Now running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p7 and
nvidia-driver-100.14.11 and the reboot still occurs when starting X.

Something else I noticed is that my xorg.conf gets truncated to 0
bytes when I 'startx' and hit a reboot. I can't figure what would
cause this, and it's intermittent (post reboot I'll sometimes see the
file whole whole, sometimes truncated). Must be connected somehow to
the reboot?

On the off chance it had anything to do with stale libraries, how
would I determine which those were and how to right what is wrong? I
don't see anything notable in the output of ldconfig -r, but I'm not
certain I know what to look for. I'll include the ldconfig* related
configurations from rc.conf and ldconfig -r output below. Any other
ideas?

Just tried it and:

1. It is just a ABI upgrade so it doesn't get rejected by 7.3 (same
version as the old driver)

2. Doesn't fix any issues with my P35 chipset and a 5400 GS

Seems there is a new driver in ports as of yesterday for nvidia.
Anyone tried it as of yet?

Did any of you determine whether it's a kernel crash or magical reboot by

I've had the same issue, but I think I solved it since its working for
me.  If I had to guess, this was Jul 27, 2007 that I went through this.

I did something similar or harder in May 2007, but the driver versions
were older then and so was the ports tree -- it was also on 6.2-release-p2.

I believe I deleted all the patch files here other then you see listed
and tweaked the Makefile accordingly.

I also edited the source code to remove a #ifdef around FreeBSD 7.x so
that it used the 6.x version even though its on 7.x. (argument list to
the function was wrong) This might be fixed by now.  This was a hard
compile error though, not the coredumps and reboots

I do know this drove me f'ing bonkers when I tried to set this and was
going to file a PR but $work never game me time.

3 of us have posted a thread on nvidia forums as problem reports; I've
at least tried an older (legacy) driver version to no luck and
eliminated every suggestion I've gotten from the fbsd community as
well.

If anyone would like, feel free to piggyback on the thread. There's
been no help response on the forums for a couple of days now.

http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=45590

If this *is* an issue with the nvidia driver, is there a good way for
us to alert Nvidia? Customer support, I guess?

I'm seeing a similar problem, but my system spontaneously reboots

if this could still be a problem?   I think there's more going on 
however, since the driver doesn't seem to know about my card during

COMPAT5X doesn't show up anywhere in /usr/src/; I do have 'options
COMPAT_FREEBSD5'  defined, though (stock SMP kernel).

No, doesn't reboot the system. Output attached below.

Probably not. I'm seeing the same thing on one machine, no AGP on MB, and agp 
kernel modules loaded, but nvidia-driver doesn't care about it.
Let's kill all red herrings:
- Is COMPAT5X in the kernel?
- Does running `nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info' reboot the system?
- If you do not load the nvidia kernel module, but use Xorg's "nv" driver does 
this reboot the system?

Determine cause of reboot:
echo dumpdev="AUTO" >>/etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.d/dumpon start

Now, if it reboots again and no core is found, the kernel didn't crash but an 
error occured in the hardware layer at which point I'd hit nvidia forums.

If there's a coredump:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-gdb.html

and file PR.

So, I'm not having terrific luck with any combination of settings I try.

The latest FreeBSD driver release from Nvidia is the same as the
version in the ports tree. This is what I've installed.

Attempting the AGPGART route (building the driver with
"WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=yes" and disabling NvAgp support in xorg.conf) still
results in a reboot.

Going the NvAGP route (Building without support for AGPGART, setting
NvAgp to 1 in the xorg.conf, and setting hint.agp.0.disabled=1 in
/boot/device.hints) also results in a reboot when X starts. One thing
I notice here; when I specify hint.agp.0.disabled=1, and check the
output of 'kldstat -v' after booting, I still see several agp drivers
loaded:

$ kldstat -v |grep -i agp
387 pci/agp_ali
388 pci/agp_amd
389 pci/agp_amd64
390 pci/agp_ati
391 pci/agp_i810
392 pci/agp_intel
393 pci/agp_nvidia
394 pci/agp_sis
395 pci/agp_via

Is this a problem?

I suspect a couple of problems with what I'm doing. Number one,
there's several knobs to turn (in the driver, in the OS, etc.) and
it's possible I'm not getting the correct combination. Other thing is,
I've been told by a technician that this is a PCI Express video card,
so would AGP even come into play?

Nope - driver was the most recent thing installed.

I'm looking into AGP options as suggested earlier... didn't realize
that this _needed_ AGP support to function.

Did you reinstall/upgrade X after having installed nvidia-driver?
X actually overwrites libraries that nvidia-driver installs so you have
to reinstall nvidia-driver every time you upgrade X.
I remember having had some bad crashes some time ago because X overwrote
nvidia GLX libraries.

Cause I checked 3 working nvidia xorg configs for 3 different cards and none 
of them has Section Display in them, let alone 20 of them :p

Run nvidia-xconfig, it'll generate a much cleaner xorg.conf file, enable nvAgp 
and load a few less extensions. If that one works, you can start diffing and 
adding things again to figure out the cause (if you're interested :p).

Also check /boot/device.hints and disable Agp there. A GeForce 6200 for 
instance, insists on it, while other cards don't, but I never had one reboot 
the machine. I just get:

agp0:  mem 0xf800-0xfbff at device 0.0 
on pci0
NVRM: detected agp.ko, aborting NVIDIA AGP setup!

echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >>/boot/device.hints should do it.

Commenting BusID has the same effect - prompt reboot.

The Display subsections are pretty standard for every X configuration
I've ever used; why would they cause a problem in this case?

> And anything /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Using nvAgp or FreeBSD Agp?

No, nothing gets to the log before reboot occurs.

Not using either of nvAgp or FreeBSD Agp, that I'm aware of. I did not
enable FREEBSD_AGP at build time.

Running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 SMP i386.

I installed nvidia-driver-100.14.11 from ports (Sep. 5 snapshot),
Linux compatibility enabled. After loading modules 'linux' and
'nvidia', I do:

# X -configure
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

At this point the system spontaneously reboots. 'X -configure' runs
fine and produces a configuration without issue, but the reboot
occcurs when launching X. Nothing is output to screen (it flickers as
if starting X), and nothing is written to /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I do
get the same behavior if running 'xorgcfg'.

Removing BusID do anything? All those Displays sounds a bit much too. I 
*strongly* recommend using nvidia-xconfig (x11/nvidia-config).

And anything /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Using nvAgp or FreeBSD Agp?
