NVIDIA 8800 GTS linux driver issue
Dear All
I am experiencing the following issue. After enabling SLI and PhysX
in windows vista, my dual boot fedora 10 does not see the NVIDIA driver.
Doing:
cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/0 I get ?????? in the VGA bios for both cards.
I disabled both SLI and PhysX in vista, but the problem persists. I
powerdown and unplugged the rig for several hours without results.
Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Q9300
Board: MSI P7N Diamond
CARD0: EVGA Gforce 8800 GTS
CARD1: EVGA Gforce 8800 GTS
RAM : 4 Gbytes OCZ gold PC6400 (4 x 1 Gbytes)
PSU : Thermaltake SLI ready 850 W
It is important to mention that initially Fedora did see the cards and I
was able to set up a dual monitor system. It right was after I enable
SLI and PhysX and re-booting into Linux that the problem showed up.
I have seen this issue before in another machine with an ASUS board, but
not until today I associated with the SLI setup. My guess is that there has to be something that the driver is enabling in the cards that messes up the interface between the nvidia.ko module and the kernel, but I don't know what may fix it. Any help? I need this
system for some numerical calculations.
Thanks
Paulo
