Nvidia (GL)

louis_m_c · 01-14-2005, 06:50 PM

Hi all,

I've built myself a nice server (router, dns, samba pdc, wins, dhcp, etc.) and now I want to run the America's Army server on it but I cant load it because the GL part of X won't load correctly.

I've installed:
Kernel-2.3.6.7 & NVIDIA_kernel-2.3.6.7 & GLX_5336-6

I have a GeForce 2 GTS (Asus V7770 GTS Deluxe) 32m.

My flavour is MDK 10.0

I've tried to change the "nv" setting to "nvidia" in my XF86Config-4 file but now when I reboot and relaunch startx, the computer freeze on the Nvidia logo. When the value is "nv" everything works fine except I can't play any GL content.

What can be wrong?

If config files / log are needed, please tell me which and where, I'll post it.

Louis

Get the newest version of the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com and try them. Your problem is the nvidia driver you have seams to be locking up at the splash screen. If you don't have nvidia in your XF86Config (instead of nv) file then you aren't using the 3D drivers.

I'm using the commercial RPM of Nvidia for Mandrake. It is supposed to be made for that. Why should I be using the one from NVidia instead?

Well I hate to state the obvious here, but the version you are using seams to have a problem with your setup since I'd hardly call locking up at the splash screen typical. If you could give post the log file for X from /var/log after the lockup as well as the output of dmesg we might be able to help you... but most likely the bug would be fixed by using the newest version of the driver. They have a nice little auto-installer on the nvidia website.

I've tried something else an hour ago, I configured my Gfx display driver using the GUI Setup of Mandrake, then when I rebooted I got the KDE loading screen but now it hanged when it writes "initializing system services".

When I look at the logs, in the XF86 log it does not mention any errors and in the messages file it does not display the XFree startup or KDE startup lines other than then Nvidia module is loading ok.

I'll put my XF86Config-4 file and my dmesg file and my XFree86.0.log file

Here is the content of my XF86Config-4 file used after I configured it with the GUI Setup:
...
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR (generic)"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DPMS"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
EndSection

Here is my dmesg file:

HARDWARE ISSUES

This section describes problems that will not be fixed.  Usually, the
source of the problem is beyond the control of NVIDIA.  Following is
the list of problems:

  o Gigabyte GA-6BX Motherboard
        This motherboard uses a LinFinity regulator on the 3.3-V rail
        that is rated to only 5 A -- less than the AGP specification,
        which requires 6 A.  When diagnostics or applications are
        running, the temperature of the regulator rises, causing the
        voltage to the NVIDIA chip to drop as low as 2.2 V.  Under these
        circumstances, the regulator cannot supply the current on the
        3.3-V rail that the NVIDIA chip requires.

        This problem does not occur when the graphics board has a
        switching regulator or when an external power supply is connected
        to the 3.3-V rail.

  o VIA KX133 and 694X Chip sets with AGP 2x
        On Athlon motherboards with the VIA KX133 or 694X chip set, such
        as the ASUS K7V motherboard, NVIDIA drivers default to AGP 2x mode
        to work around insufficient drive strength on one of the signals.

  o Irongate Chip sets with AGP 1x
        AGP 1x transfers are used on Athlon motherboards with the Irongate
        chip set to work around a problem with the signal integrity of
        the chip set.

  o ALi chipsets, ALi1541 and ALi1647
        On ALi1541 and ALi1647 chipsets, NVIDIA drivers disable AGP to work
        around timing issues and signal integrity issues. See "APPENDIX G: 
        ALI SPECIFIC ISSUES" for more information on ALi chipsets.

  o I/O APIC (SMP)
        If you are experiencing stability problems with a Linux SMP machine 
        and seeing I/O APIC warning messages from the Linux kernel, system
        reliability may be greatly improved by setting the "noapic" kernel
        parameter.

  o Local APIC (UP)
        On some systems, setting the "Local APIC Support on Uniprocessors"
        kernel configuration option can have adverse effects on system
        stability and performance.  If you are experiencing lockups with
        a Linux UP machine and have this option set, try disabling local
        APIC support.

That is the known issues list for that version of the nvidia driver.

I just Tried the latest IA32 Nvidia driver from their site but it does not work much more.

The installation goes just fine and I modified the XF86Config-4 file. But when I startx, KDE load and I just have the time to run xterm before it freezes again.

I also receive a new error message (that I was not getting with the Mdk 10.0 nvidia kernel)
here is the message (I get this one in a box mostly everytime I open a new X app or window):

"The application unknown (kcminit) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)"

This does not prevent me from using most apps in GUI (when running in "nv" setting (the "nvidia" setting is still not working)).

I saw this error message going too when loading startx:

xlib: extension "GLX" missing on Display ":0.0".

Here is my XF86Config-4 file (maybe a refresh rate problem???):

This is a little late, but try adding the following line in the "Device" section:

Code:

        Option          "NvAgp" "1"

This will cause X to use the nvidia AGP driver instead of the kernel driver, and it solved all my lockup problems.
