Fedora Hardware :: Configure Two Video Cards - ATI And Nvidia

Jan 31, 2010

Due to the miss of proprietary drivers from AMD for Fedora 12, I have installed a second video card in my system (a Nvidia one) for BOINC calculation. This card is not connected to a monitor.

So in the system I have this two cards:
ATI Shappire Radeon HD2600XT (256MB)
Asus Nvidia Geoforce 6600 (356MB)

The ATI is in the first PCI express device, the Nvidia to the second PCI express:

Code:

So I have used this Xorg configuration file (if I let Xorg to configure without the configuration file, it sets NVidia to default card and X files to start):

Code:

The Nvidia driver were installed as described in some forum:

1) disabling nouveau in grub configuration

Code:

2) Take SElinux to alow the driver:

Quote:

With this, the driver is correctly loaded in memory:

Code:

But the Xorg says that not Nvidia Driver where found (see the attack file).

These are the NVIDIA driver installed:

Code:

What can I do to make NVIDIA driver to work?

General :: Configure Multiple Video Cards?

Apr 27, 2010

In Ubuntu Lucid Lynx RC, I got NVidia's TwinView to work with 2 monitors in a single video card. But when I use the same monitors but split them between the video cards I can't make TwinView work and it starts a X server for each monitor. I want the same effect I had with one video card.

Ubuntu :: Configure Three Monitors Run Across Two Video Cards?

Jul 12, 2010

I was just wondering if is an easy way to configure three monitors run across two video cards (Nvidia Leadtek GTS250 PCI-E 2.0 1G 2DVI ) 2 on one, 1 on the other under the one xserver? I tried to get it going using the Nvidia driver package with no luck - 2 monitors seemed to be simple to configure using Twinview setting on a single xserver (my current settings) and I was hoping their may be a simple extension for three and if so is there an easy way to go about this? (I am new to Ubuntu).

Ubuntu :: Multi-Monitors: Can ATI + Nvidia Video Cards Co-Exist

Apr 8, 2011

As described in further detail below I am looking for some help in Ubuntu 10.10 with a multi-monitor + multi-gpu setup using both ATI and Nvidia video cards installed within the same system (que scoffs and jeers). Is it possible to sucessfully run both ATI and NVidia GPU's and Drivers simultaneously in Ubuntu 10.10 (think multi-monitor environment)? I am asking b/c I am having trouble figuring out how to manage my video cards - particularly ATI - within a multi-monitor + multi-gpu video card environment.

Here's the setup:

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
x2 - NVidia 6800XT SLi GPU's + 2 DVI outputs/per card (Serviceable card for my needs)
x1 - ATI Rage XL PCI Card + 1 VGA output (Yes, ancient hardware...I know)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: NVIDIA Geforce GT240 10.04 - Maximize Video Cards Capabilities?

May 6, 2010

I recently upgraded to Lucid from Karmic and shortly before the release upgraded from a geforce 8400gs to my geforce GT240 and noticed no difference on Karmic. I read somewhere that the capability of video cards would be applied further with Lucid. Since installing Lucid I've noticed a severely reduced sharpness and severely increased contrast, changing the contrast in X server has no effect. My hardware driver is activated but not in use and no online fix I've attempted has been successful in resolving the issue. Is it possible to use a gt240 on lucid with no hassle and is there any way I can maximize my video cards capabilities?

Fedora :: Resolve An Ongoing Fight Involving /dev/video Node Assignment Between 2 TV Tuner Cards And USB Video Camera

Feb 27, 2011

I am trying to resolve an ongoing fight involving /dev/video node assignment between 2 TV Tuner cards and a USB video camera.

Each time I reboot the three devices seem to shuffle their /dev/video assignment. i.e. what was /dev/video0 (USB camera) after a reboot magically becomes /dev/video1.

This causes all kinds of grief between my MythBackend and ZoneMinder who expect the devices to have static assignments.

how to best solve this? I did a brief search and one solution appears to be to statically assign the devices.

Fedora :: F14 And Xinerama With Both NVidia And ATI Cards?

Mar 16, 2011

I've got a Dell Xeon with two video cards - an nVidia Quadro2 MXR/EX/Go and an ATI Radeon 7000/VE. Under Fedora 10 Xinerama worked just fine, but I recently upgraded to F14 and Xinerama no longer works.The X server tries repeatedly to start but fails, with gdm-binary eventually giving up in disgust. If I comment out the ''Option "Xinerama" "On"' line it starts up (see attached xorg.conf), albeit with a few quirks. I have two X screens (:0.0 and :0.1 - one for each monitor), where :0.0 works just fine but :0.1 has no window manager - I can bring up windows on it but they have no window border ( no min/max/close buttons, can't be resized, etc). The mouse moves freely from one monitor to the other, but windows don't.The error messages I get when I try to use Xinerama are as follows. In /var/log/messages I get:

Mar 10 10:32:41 valdez kernel: [60328.892005] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Allocating FIFO number 1

I've tinkered around with xrandr a bit but have had no luck - mostly the screen flickers briefly and things continue on as they were before.

Fedora :: F11 To F12 Doesn't Seem To Like Legacy Nvidia Cards?

Nov 18, 2009

Greets all and congrats on the developers on bringing us another great version of Fedora. My box has an Nvidia GForce4 MMX 440 SE 64MB SDRam. I downloaded and updated from F11 to F12 last night. Before I went to bed It booted to a blank screen, GDM didn't want to start. I decided to investigate in the morning and went to bed. The first problem I found was that the F11 Legacy Nvidia Drivers were causing a problem, so I had to remove those. I also did an update with yum to get everything 100% updated. Then rebooted, more problems. GDM did NOT want to start for anything. More investigating found that the culprit was this nouveau kernel mod. Well, I had the xorg nouveau driver installed and I thought that this might be one in the same so I removed the xorg one with no avail, the nouveau kernal mod still loading. Seems that they are different and one is used for the xorg server and the other is used for the framebuffer console. I had to pass nouveau.modset=0 to the kernel at boot time to rid myself of the framebuffer. GDM starts now and I have resinstalled the xorg Nvidia nouveau driver though I have not tested it as of yet. Is there a better way at disabling the framebuffer boot up then by passing things to the kernel?

Edit: I take all that back. Upon further tinkering, reading, and investigation. The problem seems to be two fold: 1) The legacy nvidia drivers pissed and moaned about permission so I removed them. 2). This one I over looked and was causing me most of my grief. I didn't change the xorg.conf video driver from nv to nouveau. I did this and it works fine now. It seems that the "Linva-config-display" And I am sorry that I do not know exactly what this is at the moment. But this would automatically change the video driver from nvidia to nv if I manually changed it in the xorg.conf file after I removed the nvidia drivers. So I ASSUMED(my big mistake) that it would automatically see the nouveau driver and replace the nv with that. I was very wrong. After I added it manually, I rebooted and it runs fine now.

Fedora Hardware :: Dual Video Cards - ATI PCI & Via Onboard ?

Oct 17, 2010

I am a bit overwhelmed with all the information out here, and can't get this to work properly after trying to for two days. I have a PCI ATI card(Sapphire Radeon 9250):

00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)
00:08.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) (rev 01)

of which I am only wanting to use the Primary, and my onboard video:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01)

right now my xorg.conf is empty and I only get a display off my ATI card. How can I get my onboard to display as well like it does in windows?

I've tried many ways that I found and nothing seems to work.

Hardware :: Nvidia GTX 280M Cards Under 9.10?

Jan 5, 2010

I'm really desperate here, I have an Alienware M17X laptop with dual Nvidia GTX280M video cards, Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit kernel - 2.6.31-16-generic. The installation was smooth excluding the video cards. I tried installing the drivers through the Hardware Drivers (the easy way) added this: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu to the list of repositories and got the following drivers available: 173,180,185,190,195(recommended). So I tried them all (did 4 re-installs already) with a very poor result - the cards are detected and the drivers were installed ok, but the performance is really a no-go. I'm not even talking about the SLI yet. Just trying to make one card work as it should. What I get is 136FPS in phoronix lightsmark test at 19020x1200 rez. The card should perform 4x from what it does (I know it because the phoronix team did it with a Clevo laptop with single GTX280M card and the older 185.x driver). Also I noticed that the Nvidia X-server shows my cards as PCI 8X instead of 16X, so I think it's a driver issue. So right now I'm trying to install the same driver phoronix used and have some trouble: in the process the installer says it needs to compile the Nvidia driver kernel and is unable to do so, so it fails. What am I missing here? Do I need some prerequisites to be installed prior doing it?

P.S> Part of lspci output:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 280M] (rev a2)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 280M] (rev a2)

As you can see the cards are detected.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Swapping Between ATI And NVIDIA Cards?

Mar 3, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 9.10. My work requires me to frequently swap video cards between an ATI Radeon 5870 card and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX card. My question is: can the ATI driver (fglrx - catalyst 10.2) and the NVIDIA driver (nvidia 190.29) co-exist? Or do I need to reinstall the driver every time I change the card? I would like for the drivers to be able to co-exist so it would only be a matter of restarting my machine with the new card and choose the right xorg.conf file (perhaps from the GRUB menu).

Ubuntu :: Does Unity Actually Work With NVidia Cards?

Apr 29, 2011

Did an upgrade to Natty - on first boot, when I log in, it tells me I don't have the hardware to run Unity (not likely - it's an NVidia GTX460, not even a year old). I assume it's a driver problem, so I install the restricted NVidia binary drivers through jockey. That's the ubuntu way, I figure, let it do its thing. So with those enabled, I have 3d acceleration (hi, World of Warcraft!) but still no Unity. I blow away .gconf* and .gnome* (as I'm used to doing whenever something gnome-related goes wonky which, in Ubuntu, seems to be every single Ubuntu release) and absolutely no love. I log in and again, it tells me I don't have the hardware. I scoff at this dialog box as I fire up WoW and frag some orcs in glorious 3d. No, Mr. Dialog box, you're a filthy liar. How do I coax Unity into running on this thing? Or does it just... not? Switching to Nouveau isn't an option, as I need my games (and anyway, I don't think it was even in use originally).

Ubuntu :: Multiple NVidia Cards Boot Hang?

Mar 29, 2010

I have 2 NVidia graphics cards, a GTX275 and a GT210. My system boots just fine in 32-bit Windows 7, so I know it isn't a hardware problem.Linux boots fine with either the GTX275 or the GT210 installed, but hangs after the file system check if both are installed. My motherboard has 3 pci-e slots, an x1, x4, and an x16. I've tried various configurations, all fail except 1 graphics card installed in either of these slots. I got my system to boot a couple of times with both cards installed in Xbuntu 9.10. Then this problem randomly happened.

System Specs:
Ubuntu 10.04 Beta, 2.6.32-16 Kernel
MSI N275GTX Twin-Frozr 896MB
MSI N210GT 512MB (got it for VDPAU on an HDTV )[code].....

I'm not inclined to believe the problem is here. I don't even get a bootsplash, let alone XServer to start. The system hangs after a flurry of HDD activity. Checked partition, and it's ok.

/var/log/boot.log

Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/sbin/fsck.xfs: XFS file system.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Are Nvidia Graphics Cards Still Preferred To ATI?

Apr 11, 2010

After a PSU and motherboard failure, I'm about to spec out a new PC. The last time I looked, Nvidia was the preferred graphics chipset as they tended to support Linux better than ATI. Is this still the case?[url].... seem to have lots of ATI cards in stock but hardly any Nvidia (despite offering a similar sized range), but I don't want to get an ATI card if it's not preferred for technological reasons (or even FOSS ethical reasons!).

Hardware :: 2 NVidia Graphics Cards On Motherboard With Crossfire?

Dec 27, 2009

From what I've read there is no problem running one nvidia card on a crossfire motherboard, but not much information running two cards.Some context: I currently have a Core 2 Duo on a motherboard with an nForce chipset supporting SLI. I have 2 nVidia 9400 graphics cards not in SLI mode driving my 3 monitors.I'm toying with the idea of upgrading the CPU and motherboard (maybe the RAM if I go for DDR3), and am leaning (back) towards the AMD camp, however most of the motherboards for AMD CPUs that have 2 PCIe x16 slots also have Crossfire.

Ubuntu :: Switching Video Cards In 10.04/32?

Jul 17, 2010

I set up a Ubuntu machine using the OnBoard video, and it runs OK.

Now, I put a nVidia card in it (2009'ish 512mb), and there is no screen after the BIOS screen.

If I boot off a Live CD, everything is fine, so the card is supported.

How do I get Ubuntu to look for the new card on bootup? Do I have to reinstall? If so, will it wipe out the installed applications and data?

Code:
cd / (this gets you to root)
cd etc
sudo chmod 777 X11 (this permits changing names)
cd X11
sudo chmod 777 xorg.conf.failsafe

Hardware :: Avoid ATI Video Cards (again)?

Feb 25, 2010

I have recently decided to use ATI video cards again due to poor linux support several years ago. I currently have a Radeon HD 3000 series card however I have been unable to install the fglrx driver under Debian Lenny 64. It seems that the Catalyst 10.4 driver is not compatible with the Xorg version in Lenny.

So far the NVIDIA has been very good at making drivers available for the latest linux versions. I have been running Debian Sid with an NVIDIA card with relatively few problems.Is it still best to avoid ATI graphics cards or is this just a temporary problem?

I have seen this error before with Intel video cards but never with NVIDIA. Right now, I'm using VESA in failsafe mode and trying to install some drivers from this repo.

I'll try and find a fix for this. (Hope their is one)BTW, can anyone confirm when the official drivers for NVIDIA cards are coming out?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Flash And 2 X Nvidia Graphic Cards 9800GT SLI?

Mar 17, 2011

I am finding a lot of issues with flash in 11.4 release. As I know it is flash issue, because some people after updating flash on 11.3 got the same problem.

Flash seams to be crashing or/and slowing down web browser. After trying to figure out where is the problem, i found that:
1) removing SLI helped a little bit
2) updating to beta (270) nvidia drivers helped a little bit (moving window with flash animation from one screen to another one that is connected to different graphic card does not crash the browser anymore)

But still the problem exists.

For example, sometimes when i minimize the window with flash animation and i open new window (e.g. with spreadsheet) and move it on the same place where was previous window with flash, I can see this flash animation as a background of the new window....

Also, when i am moving the window with flash around, the flash disappears or gets gray.

Sometimes, ..... does not load the movie, but if i open the movie in VM windows, it works fine. After reloading Xwindows it works for a while also in opensuse.
