Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2014 1:08 pm Post subject: nouveau xorg.conf question |
|
|
I switched to nouveau drivers using my nvidia video card and I'd like some input into the correct xorg.conf settings. Here is waht I have right now:
My card is not buffering video very well using vlc and I'm going to play with the xorg.conf to see if that is the problem.
I'm reall not sure what these these setting do:
Disable "dri"
Disable "dri2"
Load "glx"
thanks

The correct xorg.conf is *no* xorg.conf. Remove it completely.
A full, everything-including-the-kitchen-sink xorg.conf is a thing of the past. If you do have a good reason to configure something (can't think of any reason with nouveau), you write the one section you're configuring and only that one section. |

I have my xorg.conf split up.
A section for adding extra fonts,
one for input (just shuts out extraneous verbiage from the log file),
one for button mapping for mouse,
and a minimal one for nouveau
Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "Backingstore" "true"
EndSection |
And the main one for setting blank, standby and offtime for the monitor. (I dislike it going to sleep)
Truthfully if you accept the defaults, you don't need much of one at all.
When I was using the proprietary nvidia drivers I had a few more lines. _________________ PRIME x570-pro, 3700x, 6.1 zen kernel

wow! what a difference. I have a 194 meg movie running using vlc and all is good.
