 Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2014 11:46 am Post subject: Nouveau >=3.14 fails to activate KMS |
 |
|
Hey!
Since Kernel 3.14 I cannot boot with my nvidia card and nouveau driver. I am on a lenovo w530 with optimus disabled. Booting integrated card is always working fine. When using discrete graphics , everyhting is working with kernel <=3.13, but not with more recent versions.
Since 3.14 KMS is not working on this box. Here is my Xorg log:

Any hints for me?
Thanks in advance,
ccube |

See "Activating KMS" at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting/ on how to activate it; make sure that you don't have any results of the steps to deactivate it on your system, you can use "Am I running KMS?" to verify if KMS is activated.
If you share the dmesg output and .config of 3.13 and 3.14, we can run a diff comparison between them; this should highlight where the difference lies, if it is an accidental configuration problem. If it is not, it could be a bad commit; bad commits can be found out by doing a kernel git bisect, which is detailed at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect |

Here are the configs and dmesg outputs. I didnt change anything on my system. I can easily reproduce the problem with switching the kernel.
/lu/temp/linux-3.13.7-gentoo.config

/lu/temp/linux-3.13.7-gentoo.dmesg
URL: http://pastebin.com/V8L73kU5
/lu/temp/linux-3.15.0-rc2-gentoo.config

/lu/temp/linux-3.15.0-rc2-gentoo.dmesg
URL: http://pastebin.com/pyHyDmEM
I think this is the faulty part:

Yeah, appears to be a regression (only in the newer kernel); thus, you'll want to do a kernel git bisect to find out what the bad commit is.

From this line I get the idea that an operation is being used that your device BIOS does not support; in other words, they've implemented or changed a feature in a way that they think the feature is supported on your card as well while it isn't. The other option is that they made a typo; less common, but might also be the case. |

drm/nouveau: make vga_switcheroo code depend on VGA_SWITCHEROO
Commit 8116188fdef594 ("nouveau/acpi: hook up to the MXM method for mux
switching.") broke the build on non-x86 architectures due to the new
dependency on MXM and MXM being an x86 platform driver.
It built previously since the vga switcheroo registration routines were
zereod out on !X86. The code was built in but unused.
This patch makes all of the DSM code depend on CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO,
allowing it to build on non-x86 and shrinking the module size as well.

After that I activated CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO in my kernel config and now everything is working fine.
I always thought that switcheroo is only for old school multiplexing systems, but not for optimus graphics, since optimus isn't working with linux at all.
Is this expected behaviour? Which advantages has switcheroo config for me? (Besides of activating my nvidia card again) |

| Dunno, but it seems that Nouveau wants to use it somehow; so, even though it might not be completely in use, it might need to use a small part of it and thus have it enabled. |

as far as I know this already was mentioned on lkml
so either they should activate it by default or fix it
anyways: glad it works for you and you found the cause
probably by enabling the switcheroo part - certain parts of the kernel a activated that are needed for it to function
what hardware is this ?
edit:
ok, either
NVIDIA® Quadro® K2000M 2GB VRAM/NVIDIA® Quadro® K1000M 2
I've my nvidia graphics disabled completely in the laptop - so didn't run into this issue, desktop also runs fine
with
# CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO is not set
