 Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 4:25 am Post subject: [SOLVED] T61p, nvidia, DRI |
 |
|
I've got an T61p with onboard NVidia Quadro 570M. The binary drivers work fine, except for DRI... I've pretty much tried every combination of in-kernel agp frontend/backend, nvidia-built-in agp, loading/not loading the X 'dri' module, but nothing helps: X starts just fine, the driver initializes ok, NV-GLX loads and initializes, but dri remains unavailable.
I've also tried fiddling with mtrr cleanup (cat /proc/mtrr shows 5 regions, 3 of which are marked 'uncachable'), but as it turns out, the NVidia driver doesn't even use MTRR, if PAT is available (both enabled in the kernel).
Version: gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7, gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r1, vanilla-sources-2.6.27-rc5, nvidia-drivers-169.09-r1 up to 177.70.
Any clues appreciated!

| Isn't this a PCI-E card? You don't need any AGP-related stuff in that case. Make sure not to compile the kernel DRM. You do have nvidia in VIDEO_CARDS? Make sure the opengl implementation is set to nvidia and not to xorg-x11 (eselect opengl list/set) |

Hi,
hows your setup in the dri section. does it look like this:
| Code: |
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
|
or lik this:
| Code: |
Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSection
|
Does it work as root?

Hi, first can you post this :
| Code: |
# emerge --info
# equery list nvidia
$ groups

Actually, I didn't have that section at all - it doesn't seem to matter, though. I tried both variations - no difference (i.e., no dri)
And no, it doesn't work as root. |

Yeah, I think you're right - it's a PCI-I card. I'm now running a kernel without any AGP stuff (and there wasn't any DRM in the kernel to begin with). VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia", and the opengl implementation is set to nvidia. (When I start X the nvidia GLX module is loaded & initialized correctly - I don't think it does that when the opengl impl is set to xorg):
| Code: |
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)

(**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration
(II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is
(II) NVIDIA(0): enabled.
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 570M (G84GL) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)

Even if it reports the correct driver, did you actually try to set it again?
It sometimes gets messed in strange ways.

Ok, I tried that (actually, I unmerged the nvidia driver, checked the symlinks, emerged nvidia-drivers, re-set opengl to nvidia)
Now I've got something interesting: xdriinfo has a different errormsg: instead of "Screen .0:0 isn't dri capable" it now says "libGL is too old". Hmmm... |

It seems there's some lib funkiness in your system. Did you install the nvidia drivers in the past manually? That would explain things like this one. If I were you I would start hunting libGL's in your system and delete all the related stuff (back it up, just in case). Once there's no other libGL in your system, re-install the nvidia-drivers package using the ebuild and try again.

No, I only installed from portage, but your seek-and-destroy suggestion worked! I unmerge/manually deleted all opengl-related libs & symlinks, and re-emerged all relevant gl-packages and the nvidia-drivers - and lo! DRI is mine. Nice.
Incidentally, xdriinfo lies: it keeps complaining about a too old libGL. glxinfo says 'direct rendering: Yes', and glxgears works as well.
So, in summary - for anyone else reading:
Thinkpad T61p, built-in Nvidia Quadro 570M, *don't* include drm in kernel, *no* AGP in kernel, *no* DRI section needed in xorg.conf. dri works (check with nvidia-settings, and glxinfo), xdriinfo lies... |
