Ubuntu Multimedia :: Installing Nouveau On Both Cards?

Apr 26, 2011

My laptop is a Dell XPS 1340, it contains an integrated 9400M, and a discrete G210m. In trying to get vgaswitcheroo working with these cards, it seemed that every time I tried to switch outputs, my computer would freeze.

Code:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo
sudo chmod 777 switch

echo DIS > switch # Same with DDIS, same with OFF It seems like what would happen if vgaswitcheroo turned off the driver (nouveau) powering the card on PCI bus 3 (the 9400M), and attempted to turn on the driver powering the G210m, which doesn't exist.. I think? Can somebody confirm?

Ubuntu Servers :: 11.04 Nouveau Errors After Installing?

May 21, 2011

Just installed ubuntu server 11.04 to have a play with. Ran through the installer and selected to setup as a virtual machine host. When booting I get 3 errors

Code:
[ 7.847619] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: ======= misaligned reg 0x0060081D ===
[ 7.847624] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: ======= misaligned reg 0x0060081D ===
[ 8.651603] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: unknown connector type: 0xff!! ===
Any insignt into what may be causing this would be well appreciated.

It may be also worth noting that I dont see the grub screen. My monitor reports "out of range" I also did have ubuntu server 10.10 on here previously which installed without issue. (It wasnt actually being used for anything) I'm currently trying a reinstall hoping the errors will go away but any info would be much appreciated.

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.

I was having the dreaded black screen hang during install but got that figured out. Read [url] for my first problem.

Now that I've finally gotten it past the blank screen, it starts the install but then hangs while checking the PCI cards, I included a photo of where it hangs, and I don't have any PCI cards installed.

Here are the specs on my computer:
Everything is brand new, TOTALLY from scratch build.
Mainboard is a MSI NF980-G65
AMD Phenom II 6 core processor
8GB DDR 3 Ram
1 Samsung Solid state hard drive

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Compiz/3d Graphics In 10.10 With Nouveau

All 3d applications run with a solid black screen, and compiz will try to revert to the fallback wm, even though I have the new nouveau/gallium setup in 10.10.

glxgears appears to *think* it has a working screen, but it stays blank:

Debian Multimedia :: Hardware Decoding With Nouveau

Apr 27, 2016

I have installed debian jessie stable and would like to use hardware decoding with the nouveau driver. I have tested with the propietary nvidia 340.65 driver and MPV and successfully enabled hardware decoding. However, there seems to be a frame sync issue with mutter and nvidia that I want to avoid. I've followed the instructions for enabling hardware decoding with nouveau here, hURL..., but haven't had success. What I've done so far is install jessie stable, run updates, install mplayer2, mpv, mesa-vdpau-drivers, and follow the previously mentioned guide. Mplayer2 throws an error about not finding the proper codec. MPV at least attempts to play the video but promptly freezes the system so that I can't recover without rebooting. URL....

Debian Multimedia :: Nouveau Not Working With 2.6.33 RT Kernel?

Jan 26, 2011

I'd like to run a real-time kernel with the latest linux-rt patch, for 2.6.33. Incidentally, the .33 kernel was the first to include the Nouveau driver, and seeing that I cannot get the proprietary NVidia driver to compile --the RT patch really messes things up and the patches for nv-linux.h out there all seem incomplete-- I thought it would be a good idea to switch to Nouveau and save me from additional headaches.

I'm running sid, and as you certainly know, the Nouveau driver has been backported to the stock Debian kernel, 2.6.32-5-686. It works very well, all I had to do was change my xorg.conf with this line : Driver "nouveau".

However, when I boot my new 2.6.33-rt kernel, Xorg stops here :

[skipping a lot of stuff that seems to work ok]
(II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
(II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 0.0.15

[Code]....

So what is so different about the backport to 2.6.32 ? How come the DRM lib, or whatever it is, doesn't work with 2.6.33 ?

I just thought of something, I'll try compiling my 2.6.33 kernel without the -rt patch and I'll let you know.

SUSE :: Installing NVIDIA Graphics Cards Gives Grub Error 13

Oct 27, 2009

So I installed openSUSE 11.1, and got everything from yast2 and then finally got nvidia.ymp or whatever. Bascially, the one click install. When i did that, I couldn't boot into the SUSE GUI. I could boot into the command line but I couldn't start X server.When I did try the Ec2-openSUSE-2.62.27.9 option, I get grub error 13. It says that the ex2fs file system is not supported, only I did not format it with ext2. I am completely stumped and I'm a newbie.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Horizontal White Lines Using Nouveau & GeForce 7300 GS

Aug 21, 2010

I've just done a clean install of 10.04.01 (64bit) and am having a few issues with the Nouveau driver.

1. I'm getting a series of horizontal lines across the screen ( image).

2. I'm getting, what appear to be, GPU lockups. This appears to happen after an amount of browsing and rendering images.

My system setup is:

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 Multimedia :: Monitor Configuration Dual Cards?

Feb 11, 2010

I'm having a rather hard time getting my 3 monitors setup as one display. I can get all three to work without too much heartburn using 3 separate X instances. The monitors are on 2 different video cards, one dual heads. The other on it's own card.

I've tried countless ways to get this to work, and I'm just not feeling the love. There are 2 17 inch monitors on the 1 video card and then the second video card has a 24 inch monitor on it. I can get the two monitors on one head to work with twinview, but the third one is left out.

The physical configuration looks like this..

17inch on the left of the 24 inch monitor, and another 17 inch monitor on the right, with the 24 inch monitor being in the center.

I'm going to include my current xorg.conf and lspci.

xorg.conf

Code:
harry@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/X11/x
xinit/ xkb/ xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
harry@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Sun Feb 1 20:21:04 UTC 2009

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!).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Sound Over Hdmi On Nvidia Cards?

I have seen several posts on various message boards that touch on the no sound over hdmi on nvidia cards issue (mine is an 8400 gs) and the general consensus seems to be create a custom edid and tell x to use it. So here is the heart of the post: I downloaded http://analogbit.com/sites/default/file /edid_disable_exts_v1.2.tgz to modify my edid but I don't know what to do with it. I extracted it and tried $ make and $ sudo make install But that wasn't the ticket,

Ubuntu Multimedia :: XOrg (Opensource) Drivers For ATI Radeon Cards?

Jan 4, 2010

For those of us who were stung last year by ATI's decision to drop support for <= R500 series cards from their closed source, or proprietary driver (known as the FGLRX driver), we are now forced to use the opensource ATI XORG driver. This is not as bad as it sounds, as in doing so, ATI has released a lot of the hardware specs on these older cards and the opensource driver has improved dramatically in the last year as a result.

Ubuntu includes both the ATI and the FGLRX driver install capacities in recent releases (since Intrepid(?)). If one can install the FGLRX driver, you should be able to do this by choosing System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and choosing to activate the ATI drivers; or you can manually install them using this guide: [URL]

However, if you have a card that is or below the R500 series (i.e. not R600+) DO NOT install the FGLRX drivers - you will break your X server (video display). If you don't know what series chipset you have, try the following:

Code:
$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 PCI Express Root Port (rev 0c)

[Code]....

If you're like me and need a production machine, but just want updated drivers, try this link: [URL]

To add the PPA (Guide): [URL]

These are fairly easy to remove (as described on the site); just remove the PPA from your Software Sources and downgrade the drivers.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Shopping Video CardS For Multiple Monitors?

Aug 16, 2011

I'm about to start a new build for my primary machine at home. The plan is to load up a server/workstation motherboard (ASUS KGPE-D16) with two 8-core chip, as much RAM as it will take (32GB) and to put two graphics cards in it. One to power my main 24" monitor (ideally via HDMI) and the other card to power two screens, one 24" on each left and right side via DVI (unless I can find a dual-HDMI card that meets my needs).

Does that make sense? Here's my question for this awesome group of intelligent individuals: What video card model should I choose? Obviously, I'd like them to match so I can SLI / CrossFire if I really want to, but what setup should I plan on to have a good experience managing multiple displays on multiple video cards?

Oh, and budget is probably up to about $300 per card, maybe a little more if it makes a lot of sense.I'm not alone in having tons of problems with trying to get multi monitor support in the last few versions of Ubuntu, and honestly it's the only reason why I'm still running Windows7: the multi monitor support is just SO DAMNED easy! I shouldn't have to spend this much energy thinking about video card model- it should just work, shouldn't it?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Alsa And Two Sound Cards In 11.2?

Dec 2, 2009

1. I run Suse 11.2 with two sound cards , one HDA comes with motherboard and second is USB, which I use for skype and talking. In YAST everything is fine the motherboard card is marked as prime card and the usb card is marked as second. But often when I log in alsa decides that second card is main and I have to pull out the USB card, run command "rcalsasound restart" and put the USB back afterward. It is a way that to be fixed in the way that alsa remember my choices forever. 2. The other problem is that from time to time the sound suddenly dies and I have to bring it up with rcalsasound restart again.

But I have to admit that their significant improvement with managing sound with PulseAudio.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.04 And 2 ATI Radeon 4870 Cards - Only One Adapter Will Show At A Time

I am trying to dual boot into Ubuntu and thus far everything works great on my machine. There is one HUGE issue.

I am running 2 Radeon 4870 Cards. Only one adapter will show at a time. I am used to Having 4 monitors and the max amount of Monitors it will allow me to have are two.

It does recognise the Second Adapter when I go into the Catalyst Control (it shows the option for Cross Firing) and it shows both adapters when I do:

I have tried:

The closest I had was that my main two monitors showed the splash page when the other two monitors on the other adapter were displayed. So It did switch once... But I have yet get all four monitors to work.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 2 Capture Cards Result In Bad /dev/video0 And /dev/video1 Output

Oct 3, 2010

I have 3 old video capture cards which I would like to use for CCTV. Each card supports 1 camera. So I would like to have 3 cameras setup in the end and monitor them with zoneminder. When each card is plugged in on it's own, it works fine. Video comes through clearly with xawtv and zoneminder. However as soon as I plug in a 2nd card (with or without a camera connected) the output in xawtv and zoneminder goes haywire. It looks like the 2nd card takes over the first card, resulting in majority of the picture coming from the 2nd card, and some (if any) from the 1st card. When viewing either of the two cards /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 in xawtv the output is identical. I've tried this on a fresh 10.04 Ubuntu install, and on an older MythTV debian computer, the same results. Here are lspci -vv outputs with 2 combinations of cards (same fuzzy output):

[URL]

My thoughts are because the capture cards are cheap (similar to winmodems), the problem may be in the software kernel modules not allowing room for other similar capture cards to run at the same time. Can anyone suggest me in the right direction? Do I need to setup some sort of memory allocation for each card manually? Something in the BIOS? An extra option when the card modules are loaded?

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?
