 |
|
I have problem with X which occurs very rarely. It happened about a month ago and it happened today again. X freezes, after I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace many times it switched to console #1 and there was these error messages (X is running by startx from this console):

I stopped X by pressing Ctrl+C several times, logged out (Ctrl+D) and logged in again. I tried to re-run `startx` again several times but it didn't work. Sometimes it just showed blank screen, sometimes it showed something but mouse pointer didn't work, it showed previous screen as it was before X crashed.
The only solution was to reboot all system. Only after full reboot X started to work again.

Your problem is called "nouveau".
The only thing you can do is reporting the bug to them, but don't hold your breath while it gets fixed. If it happens only once a month you are truly fortunate. I haven't ever been able to use it for more than a few minutes, like on four or five different nvidia chips.
I suggest that you post on their mailing list, in any case. Maybe in your concrete case there's some workaround. |

| What is the alternative? nv? I am interested only in open source. If nvidia cards cannot be well supported by open source drivers what video adapter to purchase that is well supported by open source drivers? |

"nv" or "vesa", yes.
The alternatives are two.
A) "radeon", which I have personally tested. For me, it worked perfectly without any glitch. Admittedly, I never use the latest and greatest hardware, so, if you plan on buying the latest video card, check that it will work with your chosen card, just in case. As said, for me everything worked with it: 3d without flaws, xrandr, kms, multiple monitors and tv output. No idea about vdpau and fancy things. My cards usually do not support fancy things anyway. 3d worked perfectly even for gaming purposes though people say that fglrx is better at this. 2d/kms/framebuffer is much better in this driver than in fglrx 
B), Intel cards, don't remember the name of the driver. Never used one. People say good things about them. They are supposed to be OSS friendly, but, as said I never used one.
nVidia is by far the worst option, unless you are one of those fortunate persons which don't mind using the "nvidia" binary driver and are lucky enough that it won't bite them in the ass, which is what happens most times. |

Yes. It's for some people. That doesn't help the fact that it has consistently failed for me in many different boxes with different cards, using different distros and livecds, if you search around the net you will find I am not alone, and if you subscribe to their mailing lists you will also see that the development pace is quite slow.
Nothing to complain about of course, I am just stating the fact: if nouveau works for you that's great, but if it doesn't you'll find no immediate solution but to either migrate to something other driver or use some other video card. Before doing that of course I advice trying to report the bug in their mailing list (bugs that are not reported can't be fixed), you might have some luck.
EDIT: don't misunderstand me. I understand is quite a daunting task, and "radeon" for sure has had much more time to develop and man power behind it. There's also the fact that the range of hardware is also huge, and the developers only have physical access to a limited amount of video cards. Some chips are better tested and supported than others, that's only logical. You just got lucky. I did not. In the middle there are cases like this of the original poster of this thread, which mostly works but sometimes act up in funny things. |

What is the mailing list address to send the bug to nouveau?
I believe this is indeed driver problem because of the fact that X doesn't work when restarted and only system reboot fixes the issue. If the bug was within X itself than it would work after simple restart of startx.
Also, nouveau is part of the kernel, right? Is it possible that upgrading the kernel to more recent version will help? It seems the problem appeared after kernel upgrade. |

You should use the latest kernel (some nouveau stuff went into 3.17) from kernel.org, the latest mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau, if you truly want to use nouveau.
Compile the 3.17 kernel, install it and reboot into it. Update your /usr/src/linux symlink to point to that directory before building the rest of the following packages.
I suggest installing the "x11" overlay, then add those packages to package.keywords and to package.unmask, and emerge the 9999 version (git live version) for them all.

x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau **
x11-libs/libdrm **
media-libs/mesa ** |
| package.unmask wrote: |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
x11-libs/libdrm
media-libs/mesa
|
You can install app-portage/smart-live-rebuild to periodically update and rebuild all the live ebuilds.
Info about the mailing lists: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
Seems to be down at the moment. |
