| mamarley | tseliot: The bisect is complete. The commit that causes the issue with 304 and 340 is fa5386459f06dc3b9181d4c954f980b127d1a32f (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fa5386459f06dc3b9181d4c954f980b127d1a32f). I am currently looking to see if I might be able to fix the driver myself. | 12:16 |
|---|---|---|
| mamarley | tseliot: I tried adding DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT to .driver_features in 304 and it didn't work (I still get the same "Driver 'nvidia' is already registered, aborting..." loop as before.) | 12:35 |
| mamarley | I don't know of anything else to try. | 12:35 |
| tseliot | mamarley: looking | 12:47 |
| tseliot | mamarley: I'll take some time today to investigate that | 12:58 |
| tseliot | mamarley: good work on the bisection, BTW :) | 12:58 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Thank my computer's processor, it did the the work! :) | 13:14 |
| Sarvatt | hmm looks like libxcb needs a merge since xcb-proto got synced and broke the build | 13:45 |
| mamarley | tseliot: I fixed the blasted thing! It actually needs "DRIVER_LEGACY", not "DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT". | 16:09 |
| tseliot | mamarley: I thought you had tested that | 16:35 |
| tseliot | mamarley: ok, let me patch the driver, test and upload | 16:35 |
| * tseliot building | 16:45 | |
| tseliot | mamarley: it works fine. You're going to get credit in the changelog ;) | 17:07 |
| mamarley | Thanks! :) | 17:07 |
| tseliot | thanks to you ;) | 17:08 |
| tseliot | mamarley: was there a bug report for that? | 17:09 |
| mamarley | tseliot: A bug report against the NVIDIA driver? | 17:09 |
| tseliot | mamarley: or against the kernel | 17:10 |
| mamarley | I don't think it is a bug in the kernel, it looks like a purposeful change. | 17:10 |
| tseliot | indeed | 17:11 |
| tseliot | I won't mention anything else in the kernel then | 17:11 |
| mamarley | For the NVIDIA driver, somebody was complaining about it in the forum, but no-one from NVIDIA ever acknowledged it. Later I will post a reply on that thread with the cause of the problem. Hopefully this will save them a bit of effort. | 17:12 |
| tseliot | yes, that's a good idea | 17:12 |
| mamarley | Kernel bisecting is annoying, especially when your test box starts panicking on every other reboot. | 17:13 |
| tseliot | right | 17:14 |
| tseliot | mamarley: are you available to test the 304 driver for me? | 17:36 |
| tseliot | it should work, but still | 17:37 |
| mamarley | tseliot: I already tested it. :) | 17:37 |
| tseliot | mamarley: ok, that's good enough for me | 17:38 |
| ricotz | mamarley, nice! :) | 17:59 |
| tseliot | mamarley: uploaded | 18:00 |
| mamarley | Thanks! | 18:00 |
| tseliot | I'm going on holiday. I'll be back in January | 18:00 |
| mamarley | Have a good time! | 18:00 |
| tseliot | you too ;) | 18:00 |
