| bhuey | hello, I'm having problems with my X configuration | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bhuey | I'm trying to get the NVidia driver working with this machine and but it's not displaying correctly | 01:00 |
| bhuey | It's basically not sending a signal to the monitor | 01:01 |
| bhuey | but the text console works find | 01:01 |
| bhuey | fine | 01:01 |
| bhuey | I have the kernel driver, nvidia, loaded and the 180 verions of the glx liberies are load | 01:01 |
| bhuey | there aren't any obivous problems with the X log | 01:01 |
| bhuey | anybody ? | 01:02 |
| bhuey | the "nv" driver works otherwise from the manual change | 01:12 |
| RAOF | bhuey: You'd need to pastebin at least your Xorg.0.log & xorg.conf before anyone could say anything useful. | 01:54 |
| bhuey | RAOF: bin pastebin where ? | 04:41 |
| RAOF | Anywhere. | 04:41 |
| RAOF | !pastebin | 04:41 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 04:41 |
| RAOF | Should do. | 04:41 |
| bhuey | ok | 04:41 |
| bhuey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/153795/ | 04:49 |
| bhuey | RAOF: there | 04:49 |
| bhuey | the screen is in powersave mode otherwise | 04:49 |
| bhuey | What do you folks think ? | 04:53 |
| RAOF | bhuey: That looks pretty much right to me. | 05:50 |
| bhuey | what's going on then ? | 05:56 |
| bhuey | the screen is off | 05:57 |
| bhuey | or goes into power save mode | 05:57 |
| pwnguin | well | 05:59 |
| pwnguin | you do have a dpms setting | 05:59 |
| bhuey | what's that ? | 05:59 |
| bhuey | this is the default configuration that I use with some nvidia instruction to create an xorg.conf | 05:59 |
| pwnguin | something power mangement system | 06:00 |
| bhuey | what's preventing the display from coming up ? | 06:00 |
| pwnguin | does gdm come up? | 06:01 |
| bhuey | it's not visible | 06:01 |
| bhuey | when I change the driver it comes up | 06:02 |
| pwnguin | anything interesting in dmesg or syslog? | 06:02 |
| bhuey | let me see | 06:03 |
| pwnguin | if you're using an xorg.conf, it might help to pastebinit | 06:03 |
| bhuey | ok | 06:04 |
| pwnguin | RAOF: this reminds me. should i be able to run multiple x servers on nouveau? | 06:04 |
| bhuey | nothing interesting in the syslog | 06:04 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: | 06:05 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: Yes, as long as you turn off acceleration. | 06:05 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: (I think) | 06:05 |
| RAOF | It'll definitely fail if you're trying for acceleration, because of the lack of drm multi-master. | 06:05 |
| pwnguin | define accelleration | 06:06 |
| pwnguin | certainly not glx | 06:06 |
| pwnguin | anything involving mtrr? | 06:06 |
| RAOF | Video hardware doing any drawing other than scanning out the frontbuffer to the screen. | 06:06 |
| RAOF | In other words: Option "NoAccel" "True" | 06:07 |
| pwnguin | i get something like error: setting MTRR (base = 0xe0000000, size = 0x08000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22) | 06:07 |
| pwnguin | in gdm.log | 06:07 |
| bhuey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/153832/ | 06:08 |
| bhuey | that's my xorg.conf | 06:08 |
| bhuey | default configuration for the most part | 06:08 |
| pwnguin | apparently you really want the nvidia driver ;) | 06:08 |
| pwnguin | bhuey: one last guess. check out /var/log/gdm | 06:09 |
| bhuey | gdm should be fine, it comes up fine in nv | 06:10 |
| pwnguin | and it doesnt come up in nvidia | 06:10 |
| pwnguin | find a log where it ran under nvidia | 06:10 |
| bhuey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/153834/ | 06:11 |
| pwnguin | well, aside from completing missing freetype, i donno what's wrong | 06:12 |
| bhuey | who else should I talk to about this ? | 06:12 |
| pwnguin | #nvidia | 06:12 |
| pwnguin | and maybe their forum turned bug report tool | 06:12 |
| bhuey | oh wait, | 06:13 |
| bhuey | it comes up on the other monitor instead of the first one | 06:13 |
| bhuey | interesting | 06:13 |
| pwnguin | oh rihgt | 06:13 |
| pwnguin | i forgot to ask if you had two video ports | 06:13 |
| bhuey | nv and nvidia apparently switch the ports | 06:13 |
| pwnguin | heh | 06:13 |
| bhuey | how do I get it to use the second monitor ? | 06:13 |
| pwnguin | man nvidia | 06:13 |
| bhuey | ok | 06:14 |
| pwnguin | well crap | 06:14 |
| pwnguin | no manpage (nv has one) | 06:14 |
| bhuey | no man pages for that | 06:14 |
| bhuey | what about nvidia-settings ? | 06:14 |
| pwnguin | /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx should have a very long text manual | 06:15 |
| pwnguin | that covers xorg.conf options | 06:15 |
| pwnguin | out of curiosity | 06:15 |
| pwnguin | why do you prefer nvidia to nv? | 06:15 |
| bhuey | dual screen support and glx | 06:16 |
| pwnguin | ah | 06:16 |
| bhuey | I'm unaware of the open source driver being able to handle thi | 06:16 |
| bhuey | this | 06:16 |
| pwnguin | nouveau can | 06:17 |
| bhuey | if somebody has an xorg.conf that can do this I'd like to see it | 06:17 |
| bhuey | handle this ? | 06:17 |
| bhuey | which ? | 06:17 |
| bhuey | both ? | 06:17 |
| pwnguin | dual screen | 06:17 |
| pwnguin | glx not so much | 06:17 |
| bhuey | glx is a complicated problem | 06:17 |
| pwnguin | well, my 6600gt runs glx im told | 06:17 |
| pwnguin | but honestly, all i want anymore is just want a quiet desktop that can decode video | 06:18 |
| bhuey | I've got the same card | 06:19 |
| bhuey | it's budget but works great | 06:19 |
| pwnguin | in that case | 06:21 |
| pwnguin | gallium3d actually runs (usually) on 6600gt's | 06:21 |
| pwnguin | however, i dont think the ubuntu builds come with it | 06:21 |
| pwnguin | given that it's highly unstable and works for like one chipset | 06:22 |
| bhuey | yeah, I'm able to get mostly what I want from the nvidia configuration tool but I cant save the file | 06:57 |
| * bryce waves | 07:40 | |
| Mirv | morning | 07:58 |
| tjaalton | *2 | 07:58 |
| bhuey | pwnguin: thanks it's working now. I wonder if I can turn one of the monitors into a kind of portait mode | 12:20 |
| bhuey | I can rotate the entire image but not just one monitor | 12:21 |
| Shappie | Hi all. Im trying to make a big desktop setup with my ATi card (fglrx driver). Can somebody help me? | 14:38 |
| Shappie | I have installed the latest drivers from ATi site. Because the ones shipped with Jaunty didnt want to install (using Kubuntu btw). | 14:39 |
| Shappie | When i go to the Catalyst Control Center i cant choose for big desktop as usually... | 14:39 |
| Shappie | It only says: unknown in grey | 14:39 |
| Shappie | Anybody an idea? | 14:39 |
| pwnguin | bhuey: i know you can in nouveau with xrandr, havent tried with twinview | 17:55 |
