Bug 144678

OS is not solaris...

Sorry, but we don't support the nvidia kernel driver, as we do not have access to the source
for it.  Please contact nvidia directly, on their support site.

I have the same problem with the nvidia kernel supplied from SuSE, still not on your board ?

Another info snip,  gfx card is found if i boot with apm=off and acpi=off altho only works with generic gfx driver, not the nvidia one included in suse

see prev comment

Assigning graphics problems to X11 team.

Please attach the results of nvidia-bug-report.sh.

Did some more testing just now.

Installing with the option install with acpi disabled made the installer find my gfx cards as a 6600gt as it should. Altho useing 24bit colordepth = big gfx distorsions all over the testscreen, resolutions over 1024x768 are also whacky as hell. perhaps the amount of gfx memory aint found ?

oh also , runnin in a mode that works, 1024x768 16bit, the mousepointer is invisible ^_^, mouse works tho, just have to gues where it is :P

Now, to try some more, where do i find that nvidia-bug-repot.sh ? it was not installed by default it seems

After installing the nvidia driver nvidia-bug-report.sh will be installed in 
/usr/bin. :-)

Did you follow the instructions on http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html?

when installing suse's nvidia drivers nvidia-bug-report.se does not get installed in /usr/bin or anywhere else :/

I have followed the instructions in that link. And i can get it to compile etc. Thats not the problem, the problem is the problem withloading and all the buggs described

nvidia-bug-report.sh, not nvidia-bug-report.se!
                   ^                         ^

doh, nice misspelling, but still, nvidia-bug-report.sh is not installed with suse nvidia drivers.

configing to use softwarecursor = visible mouse cursor :P

I'm sorry, but I can't believe this all. Problably you removed the nvidia driver again including nvidia-bug-report.sh.

im checking nvidia drivers from nvidia site now, have patched and ran a make install , build ok and installed ok. I see that this driver package does have the file u mention, but suse's included drivers doesnot

i will try to run on these newly compiled drivers and see what hapends and send you the log

Don't use "make install". You didn't follow my instructions. :-(

if it makes you happy i can use ./nvidia-installer instead

dont see the diff tho since ./nvidia-installer runs make install

> dont see the diff tho since ./nvidia-installer runs make install
The results might be similar, but it's not true that nvidia-installer would
run "make install"! I still don't understand, why nvidia-bug-report.sh is not installed on your system.

nvidia-bug-report.sh is installed now, when i use nvidia driver and not suse's premade drivers.  Im up and running on nvidia drivers now the compiled once. 

Opengl direct rendering seem to be broken tho. X log say GLX from nvidia loads ok etc but glxinfo say GLX shit is missing on display 0

I will send you xlog and nvidia bug log.

./nvidia-installer worked 100%

Just curious. What do you mean with "suse's premade drivers"? SUSE does not provide the nvidia driver at all.

Remove the ` Option       "Composite" "on" ` line of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Looks like you did manually edit it, i.e. replaced "nv" with "nvidia" driver.
SaX2 wouldn't have enabled Composite when configuring the proprietary nvidia driver.

I used sax2 -m 0=nvidia

no idea what the composite stuff is since i have not added it, but i will try and delete that line and see what happends

Hm. Maybe you've found a SaX2 bug. For sure please reconfigure with

  sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia

remobving that composite made 3d work perfect. 

trying sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia now

Dunno if i dare to save config tho.  the screen that pops up when u select test have 3d with a circle and line over it.. does that mean glx aint working ?

Yes, this means GLX does not work. Couldn't you make a backup of your (good) old xorg.conf and save the configuration to check whether SaX2 writes this "Composite" line?

I will try a bit later, got my hands full now

I almost have the same problem as decribed in comment #7, except that I didn't tried to install anything or change xorg.conf after a plain standard installation of 10.1 beta 2 x86_64i.
- I also have a gforce 6600gt
- I can reach 1280*1024 in resolution but only in 16 bits mode (get a scrambled screen with 24bits) or with higher resolutions
- I can't see the mouse pointer in KDE !! so the desktop is almost unusable...
(I'll upload my x logs + config later, i i can manage to navigate through the desktop without mouse pointer..lol)

Denis, this bug is about the proprietary nvidia driver. You're using the open source nv driver.

OK. As the symptoms were the same, I thought it would be interested to link my problem to this one. anyway, I'll open another bug.
cheers.

Just asked the SaX2 author. SaX2 does not write the Composite line when option "-r" is given. This is intended. Reinitialization needs to be forced. I set this to NORMAL since we cannot fix any proprietary drivers.

Assuming this problem no longer exists. (I configured the nvidia driver in the last days so often with SaX2 and never had this problem, i.e. SaX2 no longer writes the "Composite" line.)
