Fedora X86/64bit :: F13 X86 64-bit Nvidia, Nouveau?

Apr 29, 2010

this may be asking too much (especially from leigh123, 'cause i know you're working hard), but i've lost track of the current status of the great nvidia driver vs. nouveau driver debate, and what we can hope to see in f13 in about 20 days. could you provide or point us to a layman's summary of what graphics capabilities we can expect with a "default" configuration when we bring up f13?

in particular, can we expect nouveau to provide 3-d for f13 (or in the near future)? nvidia install guides, leigh123, but despite your best efforts, the procedures seem to be getting more involved as time goes on, not less (and not noticably more reliable, either). between graphics card drivers and flash plugins fighting firefox (not to mention adobe fighting videos and hulu) it's discouraging to actually lose capabilities that were once available when upgrades are made.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Disabling Nouveau / Installing NVIDIA Driver?

Nov 26, 2010

First some specs:
Fedora 13 (Goddard) 32-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260

The DVI output on my card works just fine to my monitor, which is what I've been using. I installed no drivers; it just worked. However, now I need a duplicate screen to be given via the s-video output, but it doesn't work. Nothing is being given to the tv and nothing is being detected under monitors. From what I understand, this is because I need to install the appropriate Driver.

I downloaded my driver from the nvidia website, but it won't install. it tells me I need to disable nouveau.

Fedora :: Nouveau Makes F13 Unusable Until Nvidia Releases Driver

Jun 18, 2010

I am using an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 card and nvidia hasn't released a driver that seems to work with it in Fedora 13 yet.. However, I decided to do an install of F13 and use the nouveau drivers until Nvidia updates their drivers, however, the nouveau drivers don't work worth a crap with my card I did a fresh install and then ran a yum update. What I am seeing is after a few minutes, all the icons disappear, no fonts, and nouveau starts throwing errors to my message log. Here are the messages I get:

Fedora Installation :: FC14 Upgrade Breaks X, Nouveau/nvidia?

Jun 17, 2011

My system with kernel-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64, NVIDIA 3800 + Samsung 2233 and 3Dvision kit works fine, but upon upgrading to kernel-2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64 the system won't go past the blue->white bar along the screen. The modprobe.d directory has the file blacklisting nouveau and there is the grub entry rdblacklist=nouveau, but do I need to re-run the nvidia installer. If so I think I need to reset the init level to stop X11 trying to load. and will I need to keep doing this everytime I upgrade the kernel if I have nvidia drivers installed?

Leigh123linux desired code output is below

***
abrt-addon-kerneloops-1.1.18-1.fc14.x86_64
kernel-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64

Fedora Hardware :: Unable To Install Nvidia - Nouveau Doesn't Work

Jul 3, 2010

I have Fedora 11 installed on a system that initially had an ATI 1650 type card. I recently replaced it with a GeForce GT 220. I don't believe there was ever an xorg.conf generated or used with the ATI card. Initially, when I replaced cards and rebooted, I was able to start up KDE or GNOME but with only 2 very low resolutions available(the highest being 800x600). Next I ran Xorg -configure to generate an xorg.conf file. Everything I am seeing in this file seems to make sense. But now, when I startx all I get is a red error box being displayed by the CRT monitor with this message:

Signal Frequency is out of range
FH 30.1 kHz FV 24 Hz
Please Change Signal Timing

The only way I can get my X system back is to go into the xorg.conf file (in the Device Section) and change the driver to vesa. But I still only have 2 very low resolutions available.

Fedora :: Install F15 Without Nouveau To Make Nvidia Driver Installation Easier?

Jun 7, 2011

Can this be done similar to some other O/Ses so Nouveau doesn't pre-screw up the kernel for 3rd party drivers??? Would be great in F16 if we were given a choice re: wanting nouveau or not. I simply can not get F14 or F15 to work with the 270.xx drivers on recent equipment.

Only about 1.5 weeks into Linux guys so bear with me. I'm trying to uninstall the Nouveau driver and install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run for my old Nvidia TNT2 card. Following these directions I run into a problem in the first step. When I execute the Ctrl+Alt+F1 command and get:

Fedora Installation :: Nouveau And NVidia Drivers - Jet-black Screen And A Completely Inexpressive Blinking White Cursor

Nov 29, 2009

Although I managed fairly quickly to get 3D enabled on the GF 7600GS of my desktop, it took me longer to get 3D up on the GF 9650M GT of my Asus laptop M70Vn. Although I made extensive use of the numerous procedures outlined here, none of them worked and booting my laptop always ended up with me facing a jet-black screen and a completely inexpressive blinking white cursor. My solution was simple: I did not blacklist Nouveau and problems mysteriously disappeared.

Now that nVidia is up and running, I'm curious to do a comparison with Nouveau. I there an EASY way to do this? Like a simple on/off switch? Major system/kernel changes are not an acceptable option. If it can't be easily done, I'll just stick with nVidia.

Ubuntu :: Can NVIDIA And Nouveau Play Together?

Jun 10, 2010

I've experienced the great functionality that nouveau gives me, but am a bit disappointed that it cannot support 3D acceleration. I play a few games so this is a requirement.I don't want to switch completely back to the NVIDIA driver because it breaks my brightness control keys on my laptop, and it isn't as fast and responsive as nouveau.Is there a way to have nouveau run by default, but when I launch a game in a separate X server it would load the NVIDIA driver?

OpenSUSE :: How To Switch From Nouveau To NVidia Drivers

Aug 4, 2010

After installing 11.3, I realised that my graphic driver is not working as desired. I have a Compaq CQ60-430SA laptop with an NVIDIA 8200M graphics card. Earlier with 11.2, I had some proprietary NVidia drivers and my graphics were smooth. However, I am not getting the same performance with Nouveau...

As can be seen from the screen clipping below, the images especially in the preview mode and the icons look jarred (highlighted in red). I have no complains with the video but the images and icons do look shabby at times and therefore I want to switch over to the proprietary NVidia drivers.

Ubuntu :: Frequent Freezes With Nouveau, No Longer Booting With Nvidia?

Oct 13, 2010

I made a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on a Sony PCG-81112M, the graphic cards is identified by lspci as "nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce FT 330M]". Quite frequently everything but the mouse pointer freezed on the screen, I found no way to recover from these situations but to restart the computer using the power button.

I decided to install the proprietary driver (as this is the recommended driver, I was confident this would solve the problem). As a consequence the system now hangs on boot after showing the Ubuntu 10.10 inial logo/text. I could start in recovery mode, but I'm not sure to which driver I should try to change to. I really need no fancy 3d stuff, just a robust computer to which I can attach and detach an external screen.

Ubuntu :: Activating Nouveau - Disabling NVIDIA Manual Binary?

Jun 20, 2011

I was having slowdown freezes with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers for Ubuntu 11.04 (additional drivers), so I decided to try the latest binary from nvidia that I had to install manually. I purged the system of the nvidia drivers and then installed the manual nvidia driver (sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*). But I got the same slowdown freeze (just took a lot longer to happen now) and when I uninstalled the manual nvidia driver, X would fail to initialize (no nvidia modules). Is there a package or configuration utility I could use to install the nouveau driver after removing the manual nvidia drivers or am I screwed? Cause the Nouveau driver works fine, I just wanted to see if I could switch to Linux since all the games I play work fine through Wine.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Nvidia Libs - Print Fails To Start

Sep 8, 2010

After the 4th install The printer will at least produce a test page, but the available resolution is low, I suspect I need the gutenprint enhanced drivers, printer is a EPSON R285. Where do I find the nvidia libs so I can use the Nvidia driver for my ancient 8500 GTX. Using the package manager find nvidia shows nothing.

Are these libs held on another repo, as in other distros?, and is Acroread availble? is there a listing if the repos somewhere, I have some apps that have to be compiled and are a pig to get going, due to using those funny cut down libs that ubuntu use. When I backed up the last failing version of FC13, which hung as soon as yum was started, didn't print ect, I didn't close firefox down before copying the file. So the user config is locked, ie, you get firefox is already running, and fails to start. I found parentlock and deleted it, but but there is another lock file that needs to be removed, and I can't find it.. Anyone know the location of the lockfiles for firefox.?

Fedora X86/64bit :: Nvidia Driver Seems To Hang Kernel Before Its Even Loaded?

Nov 18, 2010

I used to have FC11 installed with the nvidia supplied binary driver. Worked fine, very stable. Trying FC12 and FC13 live CDs caused a hang, so I stuck with FC11. FC14 live CD did boot so I backed up my own files and did a clean FC14 install. Upgraded to get kernel 2.6.35.6-48, installed the nvidia driver from RPMFusion (260.19.21) and had a working system! Now, after a cold boot, the kernel always hangs during boot. Tried a number of kernel boot option (apci=off, noapic and a few others too). The hang is not always at the same place. The earliest it has hung is after:Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

Sometimes its a few lines later at:NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 260.19.12 ...(which would seem to imply that the hang can even occur a step or two before the actual driver is loaded!)

Sometimes it keeps going for a few more seconds and randomly hangs during some other driver load.

Without a specific nvidia driver the system always boots ok, so I'm pretty sure its the nvidia driver but I just can't seem to get a handle on this in a reproducible way. Sometimes, when I have make some other change, it will boot and work ok, but a reboot locks it up again (for example, in case it was SELinux, I disabled it and on the next reboot it booted and worked ok. Then, next boot, it wasn't working again). When I make changes, I reboot using the previous kernel, make the changes and reboot, with an occasional success. Once I start rebooting using the latest kernel, it always hangs.

I'd love to get a solution to this, but even some advice on debugging this would be appreciated!

I'm using 8600GT, 256Mb, PCIe card in a MA69VM motherboard with 3Gb of RAM.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Going Loopy - Nvidia Driver And DVI - Login Screen Went Black

Dec 24, 2009

I had a fully working Nvidia driver setup in FC 12 with no problems using an old LG monitor (LCD panel) on a VGA connection. I have just replaced the monitor with a newer Dell model that has a DVI connection. I plugged it in and got nice Post Screen, FC 12 boot progress display but when it got to displaying the login screen it went black.

Ctrl +Alt+F2 took me to a command prompt where I can type commands no problem. If I change the driver to the Nouveau (and Chattr +a the xorg.conf file) I get a lovely gui. So far nothing I have tried has let me use the Nvidia driver. I have searched around Google and tried nvidia-xconfig, system-config-display, livna-config-display xrandr (which fails to work at all) but so far I have got no where.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Alteration In Fonts Looks After Change Of Graphic Drivers From Nouveau To NVIDIA?

Jan 8, 2011

I recently changed my Graphic card drivers from Nouveau to nVIDIA in Suse 11.3 KDE.

One thing I have noticed that initially I had been using various Adobe Fonts in many applications prior to change of drivers. But after this change the looks of the same fonts became quite different, the length & breadth of "individual letters" changed quite a lot making them look not so beautiful as they were earlier. Am I missing something or is it a normal phenomenon. But I am satisfied with the present looks.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Clear Proprietary NVidia Driver And Replace With Nouveau Driver

Jun 13, 2011

There is one thing missing (I think) a clear guide to clearing out Nvidia and replacing it with nouveau. For all but hardened gamers, nouveau on 11.4 delivers. It also removes one more barrier to what I think is the intended goad of Tumbleweed.The problem IMHO is not that there are no clear guides. The problem is there are too many. No sooner does one person do a guide (that is clear) and someone else who does not like some point writes another guide that they think is more clear (but in fact is less clear in other aspects). And this goes on ad infinitum.IMHO we have too many guides - many of which are sufficient clear ... but the VAST number only serves to confuse users more.

Having typed that, IMHO this is NOT a Tumbleweed specific issue, but its MUCH WIDER in scope and hence does not belong as a discussion in this Tumbleweed thread.
