Hello my friends!
Sorry for my bad English. Im newbie here , its my first experience with installing Gentoo.
I have problem with X Server on my server HP Proliant DL380 G5.
In server installed videocard NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT.
In Grub i see my original resolution of my monitor , 1280x1024, when gentoo boots, resolution stay on 800x600.
startx says no screens found, log says: [drm] failed to open drm device for pci:0000:17:00.0: -19
open /dev/dri/card0 : No such file or directory
In log i see that nouveau module is initialising and start
lspci -v says : kernel modules: nvidiafb (?) , nouveau
modprobe nouveau says: could not insert nouveau no such device
What is wrong and what i need to make ?
Please, help , i cant make this 3 weeks.  |

Make sure CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA is set to N for your kernel config.

P.S: im compiled kernel with "genkernel all"
PS2: im installed succesfully Gentoo on my wooden PC with Pentium 4 , 3 GB RAM with NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT , using Handbook... |

With command
| Code: | | $ grep CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA /usr/src/linux/.config |
If is set you can use --menuconfig option of genkernel and then disable the option
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
Frame buffer Devices --->
< > nVidia Framebuffer Support |

Now i need run "genkernel --menuconfig all"? And disable the NVIDIA Framebuffer support?
And main question , i need to update GRUB config before recompiling kernel? |

Correct

It depends. If NVIDIA Framebuffer is built-in (asterisk character in menuconfig entry <*>) in kernel yes, otherwise (as module <M>) no

Nvidia framebuffer was as module <M>.
Before recompilling the kernel same problem , failed to load drm device...
Same problem with modprobe...
In log i see some lines:
modesetting: Driver For Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms
.........
[drm] failed to open drm device for pci .....
open /dev/dri/card0: no such file or directory
falling back to old probe method for modesetting
screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section
device(s) detected , but none match those in the config file
.......
no screens found
P.S When i make Xorg -configure :
List of video drivers:
nouveau
nv
modesetting
..............
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
In log i see same + failed to load drm device... |

I don't know the ordering of the framebuffer device and the DRM device but if the framebuffer device loads first, the DRM device will not load and cause /dev/dri/card0 to not show up. You can set it to "N" to ensure it doesn't get created.
The other quick check is to blacklist the framebuffer device kernel object and reboot, to see if it helps...
echo 'blacklist nvidiafb' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidiafb.conf

Nvidia framebuffer is disabled in kernel config.
Why in livedvd video is working and xorg is starting? |

kapecitis,
There is no need to reinstall. Lets fix it.
Emerge wgetpaste and pciutils if you don't have those packages.
Postso we can see your hardware.
Run | Code: | | wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
and post the URL, so we can see what Xorg did when it started.
Run | Code: | | wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config |
and post the URL, so we can see your kernel settings.
It sounds like the kernel is not set correctly for your hardware.
Run and tell us the URL.
Graphics problems often leave messages in the starup log.

kapecitis,
Your video card is
| lspci: | | 17:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] [10de:0402] (rev a1) |
There is nothing about framebuffer consoles in dmesg.
and Xorg
| /var/log/Xorg.0.log: | [ 29.301] (II) NOUVEAU driver
[ 29.301] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families :
[ 29.301] RIVA TNT (NV04)
[ 29.301] RIVA TNT2 (NV05)
[ 29.301] GeForce 256 (NV10)
[ 29.301] GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15)
[ 29.301] GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18)
[ 29.301] GeForce 3 (NV20)
[ 29.301] GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28)
[ 29.301] GeForce FX (NV3x)
[ 29.301] GeForce 6 (NV4x)
[ 29.301] GeForce 7 (G7x)
[ 29.301] GeForce 8 (G8x)
[ 29.301] GeForce GTX 200 (NVA0)
[ 29.301] GeForce GTX 400 (NVC0)
[ 29.301] (--) using VT number 7
[ 29.305] (EE) No devices detected. |
loaded the nouveau driver which is correct for your hardware.
In your kernel, the Framebuffer hardware drivers are set correctly.
You need to change | Code: | | # CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set |
to either <m> or <*>
If you use <*> the framebuffer will start sooner that if its a loadable module.
Turn on | Code: | | # CONFIG_LOGO is not set |
too and have a Tux logo per thread at the top of your framebuffer for part of the boot.
It confirms that the framebuffer is working.
You must not edit the .config with a text editor. If you use genkernel, pass the -menuconfig option.
In menuconfig, press the / to search, enter nouveau and press return.
Press the number next to CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU to go there and make the change.
Do the same for CONFIG_LOGO.
Remember to mount /boot if you need to or the new kernel will be installed silently into the wrong place.
The nouveau driver is in two pieces, a kernel piece and an Xorg piece. You must have both parts.
You mentioned blacklisting nouveau. Remove that.
Very close. The logo is not required. Its a confidence check.
One kernel change. That's better than reinstalling.

It's clearly a "real reason" then  |

NeddySeagoon,
How i understand
Turn on
# CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set
its mean that in --menuconfig i need to enable Nouveau (NVIDIA) Cards module? (<M>) |

try irqbalance instead of acpi=off to see
you might also try switching to a different clock source, hpet is fine, so a clocksource=hpet acpi=on irqbalance
i think kernel might have an option for some know irq quirks and bugs, but i forget the name of the kernel option (i'm not even sure there's one).
while dell and companies like that love to do weird things, but they also provide "some" support ; you might look at dell site for bios bug fixes.
sorry, i didn't mean to derail you from your subject, it's just never really good to disable acpi on modern cpu for lapic |

In real he told you either <*> or <M>
But in short, yeah that's what he said |
