 Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 3:21 pm Post subject: startx missing modules & compatible nvidia driver |
 |
|
Hi everybody,
I've got a problem with xorg, nvidia (and probably my kernel config, but i'll start in a category which corresponds to the symptoms)
which i cannot solve. I consulted google, this forums search-function and did not find a solution to the following stuff.
Probably this is an easy one for you people who work with gentoo all day long. My last attempt was with 2004.0.
As a foreword my configuration:
Asus F3tc Notebook
AMD64 Turion TL50
2GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce Go 7300
gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r4
nvidia-drivers-169.09-r1
xorg-x11-7.2
/etc/make.profile points to /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/
Xorg-X11 and Nvidia-drivers compiled quite nice (strange additions to /etc/make.conf were needed: "kernel_linux" to tell nvidia-drivers the linux-version)
and modprobe nvidia or eselect opengl set nvidia seem to work flawlessly.
The problem is the following when i'm trying to startx (excerpt from linked /var/log/Xorg.0.log):
| Code: | (II) LoadModule: "kbd"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module kbd
(II) UnloadModule: "kbd"
(EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.7
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module mouse
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0) |
and (again excerpt from xorg-log):
| Code: | (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
(EE) No Input driver matching `kbd'
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.6 (1406)
(--) ASUS F3Tc Touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event6
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
(**) Option "SHMConfig" "on"
(**) Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
(EE) ASUS F3Tc Touchpad error shmget
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "ASUS F3Tc Touchpad"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
(EE) No Input driver matching `mouse'
(WW) No core pointer registered
No core keyboard
Fatal server error:

The Nvidia-Logo shows up, disappears and the console shows up again.

Try to emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse and x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard.
Try to recompile x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.
Also check if you have mounted a tmpfs file system on /dev/shm :
| Code: | $ mount | grep shm
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) |
And please do not use rapidshare. Please use a pastebin, it's much better.

hi,
do xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard have any effect on the nvidia-drivers-package ? i'm asking because i already tried recompiling the nvidia-drivers (without knowledge of the separate input-drivers).
could you recommend a pastebin please ?
thanks.
alex

No, they are independent.

Some things I would suggest before you move on:
Unless you have reasons for the profile that you have selected, please select a more appropriate profile.
The default profile currently is /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0 you may also be interested in the desktop profile /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop.
These are both multilib profiles and will help provide a better environment and make things go a lot smoother for you in the future.
In your /etc/make.conf add these two variables | Code: | INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vesa" |
nv and vesa are optional but in my opinion its nice to have backups.
You will have to rebuild x11-base/xorg-server after these modifications to build in the support for these drivers.
Then continue on emerging the drivers that Desintegr suggested (they might possibly be pulled in by these new variables).
Rebuild your x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers as well.
If you have changed your profile I would also suggest doing | Code: | emerge --sync
emerge -avuDN world |

hi,
@the unknown:
thanks for the advice. i'll try that tomorrow morning and respond about the outcome.
i already had no good feeling about the change of profile, as i never tried that before...
@desintegr:
oops, now that's too obvious (according the pastebin links).
i should've used google before asking stoopid questions 
so here are the aforementioned config and log files:
kernel .config
xorg.0.log
xorg.conf
thx for your help.
alex

Ok,
everything went fine.
switched to the recommended profile, synced, emerged world. no errors.
rebooted (just to be sure it still runs), everythings fine.
emerge -avuDN world pulled the needed new modules right in.
i removed and reemerged nvidia-drivers.
though everything seems fine startx fails:
Here are the errors from Xorg.0.log (see link below for complete Xorg.0.log)
| Code: |
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
(EE) ASUS F3Tc Touchpad error shmget
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "ASUS F3Tc Touchpad"
Backtrace:
0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x6d) [0x48750d]
1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2b184392c430]
2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so [0x2b184561138b]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting |
anything i could do ?
Xorg.0.log
addition:
there are some errors 'bout mtrr in dmesg, but i don't know if this contributes to this problem.
| Code: | mtrr: type mismatch for c0000000,8000000 old: write-protect new: write-combining
mtrr: type mismatch for c0000000,8000000 old: write-protect new: write-combining
mtrr: type mismatch for c0000000,8000000 old: write-protect new: write-combining
|
revdep-rebuild for xorg-x11 says, everything is consistent, same for nvidia-drivers.

You have a problem with shared memory.
What does ipcs -l and ipcs -a return ?

| Code: |
ao-turion init.d # ipcs -l
kernel not configured for shared memory
kernel not configured for semaphores
kernel not configured for message queues
|
| Code: |
ao-turion init.d # ipcs -a
kernel not configured for shared memory
kernel not configured for semaphores
kernel not configured for message queues
|
i guess, these are things to add to my kernel configuration ? what's exactly missing (like, what needs to be selected in menuconfig) ?

Check if kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SYSVIPC option.

Checked:
It's not set.
this was it. i recompiled the kernel with SYSVIPC set and the nvidia driver works fine without recompiling.
thanks a lot!
