Hello

Some time ago I used nouveau drivers. After making the decision to move on proprietary drivers I've met some problems.
Firstly, this is a history of my adventures.
I changed my portage make.conf file, setting "nvidia" value only for VIDEO_CARD, emerged nvidia driver, disabled nouveau support in my kernel, rebuilded it, done deep world update with --newuse, ran emerge @module-rebuild... I know I made it in a not absolutely right order... But it seems to me that it hasn't to have any matter.
After I tried to run nvidia-xconfig. When running it from root (su) it said that there was no such command. If I ran it from non-root user it said
Quote:
WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.


ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'.

As I understood it's normal, because of not having permissions to do that.

Okaaay. Then I tried to execute "/opt/bin/nvidia-xconfig" manually. After that was done I've stucked with running "startx". It said that it couldn't detect any monitors or something like that, sorry for such uncertainty.
Nevermind, I've just deleted this xorg.conf (it didn't existed before I ran "/opt/bin/nvidia-xconfig" manually too). What a miracle! X server succesfully started.

So, excuse me, WTF?

Trying to start NVidia X Server Setting from KDE it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."

So what driver am I using now, if there is nothing except nvidia, and how to determine it?

Sorry for such a confusion. Could you help me to solve this problem? I actually want to get my nvidia driver working.

Configuring

It is possible that after installing the driver it may not be needed to create an Xorg server configuration file. You can run a test to see if the Xorg server will function correctly without a configuration file. However, it may be required to create a configuration file (prefer /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf over /etc/X11/xorg.conf) in order to adjust various settings. This configuration can be generated by the NVIDIA Xorg configuration tool, or it can be created manually. If created manually, it can be a minimal configuration (in the sense that it will only pass the basic options to the Xorg server), or it can include a number of settings that can bypass Xorg's auto-discovered or pre-configured options.
Note: Since 1.8.x Xorg uses separate configuration files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ - check out advanced configuration section.

KMS - kernel modesetting
Blob - binary nVidia driver

Is this a laptop with Optimus? I see intel in your dmesg.

It seems also that you did not set related configs juding on the posts. it loads novou, cant find nouvoau, it loads vesa, cant find vesa and so on...

Please set video variable as suggested in make.conf and please follow the wiki guide.

Please verify if your hardware supports optimus. Please read related wiki articles about optimus / kernel / x-server.

please pastebin, lshw output, eix nvidia-drivers, eix xorg-server, ...

I've just set VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia intel modesetting" and made deep world update with --newuse.
it had "nvidia" only.

I've created /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:07:00.0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection


and /home/mvlabat/.xinitrc with
Code:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto


The same error (as here)... Maybe my BUS ID is wrong. Did I set it rightly? From lspci:
Code:
07:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev a1)

According to man xorg.conf the correct form is as “PCI:1:0:0”.

is acpid in the boot runlevel?

Code:
rc-update show


I see another problem with your display, ether you have wrong modesettings, mode settings which are impossible or no mode settings at all. or your bios is borked when it is a laptop with build in screen. I assume for some reason the box does not find a suitable resolution / frequency to use at all. Therefore you may set one modeline in xorg.config and ensure acpid is running.

could also be a edid / bios / gpu bios issue. are you using the latest available bios?

you should specify mode lines in your xorg.config or reduce and remove those pci lines, as i am not sure if those causes issues also ... I highly recommned you search for xorg.config regarding "assumpinton" build in intel cpu/gpu + nvidia gpu ...

Updated my BIOS, added acpid to boot - still the same thing.
Could you please point me in what section do I have to add modeline? By the way, will this line be okay? (Generated by this site.)
Code:
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.86 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync

Removing BusID didn't help too. So returned my xorg.conf to the previous state.

I would suggest to simply use bumblebee to load the nvidia driver when programs want to use the nvidia card. I have no problems with that on my laptop.

Alright, can you get it working with Intel only? Did you say you have 4th generation Intel? Do you have "intel i965 ..." in your VIDEO_CARDS variable?

Yes, I can get my intel working, just deleting my xorg.conf file. I don't have "i965" in my VIDEO_CARDS variable.. Doesn't "intel" include both i915 and i965 by itself?

delete xorg.conf

in make.conf:
Code:
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia intel i965"

emerge --deep --newuse --ask --verbose world
eselect opengl set xorg-x11
emerge bumblebee

add your user to the bumblee group, start bumblebee and add it to the default runlevel:
usermod -a -G bumblebee username
/etc/init.d/bumblebee start
rc-update add bumblebee default


To run a 3D application you need to start it with `optirun <command>`. To run games I use `primusrun <command>`. primus is available in the bumblebee overlay.

Thank you for your answer. I'll try it if I get absolutely frustrated about Optimus, but not yet. By the way, will your method of running 3D applications work if a game starts from launcher?

you'll have to edit the launcher and change the execution line to start with primusrun or optirun.

The problem is not about Optimus. I can't actually get my nvidia driver working. If I put into my xorg.conf only nvidia device specifying BusID, I get the same result - black screen. So I won't be able to use Bumblebee, becuse the problem lays in configuring nvidia initially.

My xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen         "Default Screen" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "keyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from data in "/etc/conf.d/gpm"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID          "PCI:7:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "nvidia"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "nvidia-auto-select"
    EndSubSection
EndSection


My xlog:
http://pastebin.com/LKdJc6DL

I have some lines in it I'm worried about:
Code:
[  1432.244] (--) NVIDIA(0): Valid display device(s) on GeForce GT 740M at PCI:7:0:0
[  1432.244] (--) NVIDIA(0):     none

See this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus

Not sure but I believe you cannot get nVidia working without Intel. In other words, nVidia may need help from Intel to draw on the screen.
