 Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 4:33 am Post subject: This is killing me! (nvidia driver problems) |
 |
|
For the last two days I've been trying to get nvidia drivers to work; but I'm failing at anything I try. I'm confused out of my mind!
Ok so here's what I'm doing:
I got a 2.6.3 kernel, compiled and all working (except for usb but that's another thread). Anyways, I go to nvidias site and download their drivers. Peachy, 5336. I run the .run file, compile the kernel module, configure xf86config and startx...
This comes out:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
After doing some google searches for this problem I only ran into spanish, french, and german help sites. So those did not help me. All I want is to get these drivers working! It shouldn't be that complicated! I've never been so stumped!
I also emerged xfree under the 2.6.3 kernel (I was using the 2.4.25), but that didn't seem to solve anything.
Heres the module being loaded:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
gentoomachine root # modprobe --verbose nvidia
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
gentoomachine root # lsmod
Module Size Used by
nvidia 2072904 0

Here is the full error from startx:

The driver is loading OK, so you look close, but try this:
1. Try emerging the the nvidia driver instead:
| Code: |
# emerge nvidia-kernel
# emerge nvidia-glx
|
2. run 'xf86cfg' and let it autogen a XF86Config-4 file for you.
HTH,

emerging is not what I'm looking for. The emerge is of the older drivers (43xx), and they also return various errors.
It doesn't matter really if you use the emerge or the nvidia file because they both compile glx and the kernel module.
Here's what I've done so far. I've disabled the PNP OS in my BIOS, and made sure PCI to AGP was enabled. I'm 100% sure the nvidia module does load on boot, because I can lsmod. modprobing it also does not return any errors.
The configuration is right; I've run it from the xf86config. I edited it and added the the "nvidia" driver to the driver section. There's nothing I can see that would cause these problems.
I should add that the errors occure in both the 2.4.25 and 2.6.3 kernel. Which means that it's either something in my BIOS (which I doubt because other distros worked just fine before, with the same BIOS settings) or it's something with the kernel... Maybe I'm missing something.
I have linked /usr/src/linux to my /usr/src/kernel-2.6.3 | also I have checked /lib/modules/drivers/video that the nvidia.ko is there.
This is really giving me a headache! |

The very latest drivers ARE available as ebuilds, they are just masked:
| Code: |
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p nvidia-glx
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r1
[ebuild U ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.5336-r1 [1.0.4496]
|
If you are having compiling problems, we should deal with that first. What are the errors you get?
Also, when I run xf86cfg, it properly inserts "nvidia" as my device module without the need to replace it manually. It then loads X, and the screen displays a visual representation of the config. Is the not what you are seeing? If you cancel out, there will be a file called XF86Config.new in your home directory.

Please stop.
Portage has 5336 and I'm running them. Do "emerge --sync" and try again. | Code: | $ qpkg -I -v nvidia

Type these two on the same line otherwise it won't work
| Code: | | # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p nvidia-glx |
Single assignment like the above only apply to that command. To affect the variable during all the forecoming commands, until you close that shell, use 'export'
| Code: | # export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
# emerge -p nvidia-glx |
Also, as nbensa noted, you want to use "tidle x86", not "dash x86" |

Next enter: opengl-update nvidia
and I've seen many times where I had to actually reboot for things to start working...as have others. |

Have you tried "nvidia" instead of "g2ti" in your XF86Config?

hmm no changing to nvidia didnt do much. But I have also tried Option "NvAgp" "1" and Optio "NvAgp" "0" in the config. Which still didn't work.
This is very odd
Another interesting thing I found:
#cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status: Disabled
Though im not running x with nvidia support the module is loaded... hmm. I checked the kernel and it did install agpgart support. So confused. |

Make sure your /usr/src/linux link is pointing to the right version of the 2.6.x kernel you are using. If it's currently not correct, fix it and then emerge nvidia-kernel again. (just making sure, but you did emerge nvidia-glx-5336 too right?)
Last thing to try before actually editing the XF86Config file: shutdown your computer completely for 30 - 40 seconds. Long enough for the RAM to clear. This has helped me once in the past when upgrading drivers. Continue reading if still no luck.
Now, that XF86Config file is a mess. To fix it, back-up your copy of the XF86Config. Next, I would suggest running xf86cfg as root on the command line with no X session currently going. This will try automatically detecting your video setup and then runs X if successful. You will then be able to graphically input your montior frequencies, mouse settings, graphics driver etc. I suggest getting the mouse fixed first because until the mouse is set up you have to use the NumPad for pointer movement...that gets irritating after a while.
When you are finished it will ask if you want to save your new configs, say yes. Make sure you have the nvidia module loaded into the kernel then run 'xf86cfg -xf86config <location of XF86Config>' When I do this for example I type:
| Code: | | xf86cfg -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config |
This will test your clean, shiny, and new XF86Config for you. If all is good, save and then use X in your normal fashion.
I also can certify this works with 2.6.x kernels. If you have compiled agpgart into the kernel then you most likely will not be able to use NvAGP. In the past I was able to compile agpgart as a module and then run NvAGP, however my experience with 2.6.x + udev is that agpgart must not be in compiled as module or inline period. There might be something in udev config files that fix that, but I haven't found it yet. So keep that in mind if you have your heart set on using NvAGP. |

do what tsuru said.
I had the same problems as you did, and figured that /usr/src/linux was pointing to the wrong version of the kernel. |
