 |
|
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting 3d acceleration working with xfree-4.3.99.902 and the 1.0.5332 nvidia drivers. I have an MSI K8T800 and a GeForce FX 5200. I tried the older 4499 drivers and they gave me a black screen. I've looked around but haven't found anything about this combination, so I figured I would ask before downgrading to 4.3 (although I am not 100% sure that doing so will fix the problem)...
With glxgears, I get around 500-600 fps and it doesn't seem to have much of an effect on the score whether I choose xfree or nvidia in opengl-update. My 800MHz iBook with Radeon Mobility 7500 gets higher scores, so I know this new machine should be doing better...
Here's what I have:
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card:
| Code: |
Fast Writes: Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x1f000312
|
/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge:
| Code: |
Host Bridge: PCI device 1106:3188 (VIA Technologies, In)
Fast Writes: Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f000a1b:0x00000b12
|
/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status:
| Code: |
Status: Enabled
Driver: AGPGART
AGP Rate: 8x
Fast Writes: Enabled
SBA: Enabled
|
/proc/driver/nvidia/cards:
| Code: |
Model: GeForce FX 5200
IRQ: 11
Video BIOS: 04.34.20.42.00
Card Type: AGP
|
/proc/driver/nvidia/version:
| Code: |
NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86_64 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5332 Fri Jan 9 12:42:32 PST 2004
GCC version: gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)

Also, the messages on X startup look the same as on my 466MHz Celeron /nvidia TNT2 running the same xfree and same driver versions- no errors...[/code] |

Well, yes, I have success, its working fine here,
glxgears ~3800
but as for your problem, I'm not sure, setup looks ok.
Try having this option set; and having no extra tweaks set as the driver is loaded;
| Quote: |
Option "NoRenderAccel" "On"
|
/etc/modules.d
| Quote: |
# Nvidia drivers support
alias char-major-195 nvidia
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195
# To tweak the driver the following options can be used, note that
# you should be careful, as it could cause instability!!
#
# To enable Side Band Adressing: NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
#
# To enable Fast Writes: NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
#
# To enable both for instance, uncomment following line:
#
#options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1

Also, have you tried the nvidia forum for the amd64 driver?

| Thanks for the reply and the link to the nvidia forums! I tried turning off RenderAccel and disabling/enabling a bunch of other options, but I still haven't gotten it fully working yet and haven't spent as much time as I would like working on it because of school. I will keep you guys posted, though. |
