xorg.conf as genernated by sax2 -m 0=nvidia
It might ofcourse also be that this part should be in the xorg.conf, as i don't have a tv out on the board? Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" EndSectio The Composite extension is very unstable in combination with the binary nvidia driver. NVidia itself dissuade the use of it, therefore sax will not enable Composite for nvidia Option "Composite" "on" was enabled by SaX2. This means that Sax2 should put this part: <quote> Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" EndSection </quote> In the xconfig.conf file See above comment why i put the bug report on reopen. sorry but if the real binary nvidia driver is installed sax will
not enable the Composite extension. How Do you install the nvidia
binary driver ?
during installation
after the installation,
with YOU
or manual with the nvidia installer
? I assume you have installed the driver after the installation. sax
at that point has created a nv based config with Composite enabled. After
the installation you should call
sax2 -r
to restart the detection because your driver has changed. If you do that
Composite should be disabled
If you don't mind call sax2 -r and send me the log file /var/log/SaX.log Thanks sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia indeed generates axorg.conf without composite. Created attachment 66053 [details]
SaX.log
Did the following test. sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia . Than changed the color depth to 24 bit. Than i saved i got this line in the xconf.org: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" EndSection Created attachment 66058 [details]

SaX.log for sax2 -m 0=nvidia with changed color depth 24 bit
So it looks like when you do some alternations a wrong config is generated. The auto config seems to be ok. The one that has Option "Composite" "on" has the following line in xorg.conf # Automatically generated by [ISaX] (7.1) The one without Option "Composite" "on" has the follwoing line in xorg.conf # Automatically generated by [SaX2] (7.1) So it looks like ISax is causing the errour file, while SaX2 generates the correct file. By the way i installed the binary nvidia driver by hans via the nvidia installer. According the following instruction: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html type in previous coment hans should be hand I think I know the problem, you are calling sax with the -m option which is only recommende if the card couldn't be mapped to an accelerated driver. In this special case the profile named NVidia is not called because you specified the driver manually on the commandline. Please don't use the -m option at that point sax is able to detect whether the real nvidia is installed or not and if it didn't do that it may have consequences on the rest of the workflow. Would you try: sax2 -r that's it not more options needed ;) Does it now work as expected ? Thanks Conclusion isax doesn't create the right config. Created attachment 66234 [details]

SaX.log as genernated by sax2 -r
With size/poistion readjustment (Test).
When i do the readjustment xorg.conf has the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver. # Automatically generated by [SaX2] (7.1) Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce 6100" BusID "PCI:0@0:5:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection # Automatically generated by [ISaX] (7.1) Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce 6100" BusID "PCI:0@0:5:0" Driver "nv" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection fine; Extensions is empty in that case. Ok I will fix the Driver.map to check for NVidia even if the user specified -m 0=nvidia so it's failsafe now in any case. Theinstructions on : http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html need to be corrected too? yes, Stefan ? Could you have a look at the docu ? Thanks The documentation for 10.1 has already been adjusted. Doesn't this line to be changed (Just wondering)? 3) Configure X.Org with sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (0 is a digit, not a letter!) This is ok. |
