Hello all! I have posted a message a week before but I am posting a new one
because I need to add some more details on my problem.
So here I go.
I am able to use x11 with base driver "nv" but when I load "nvidia" driver,
startx simply crash my machine and reboot after 5 seconds, but it worked one
time!.
Motherboard:
asus p3v4x
I use a Geforce 256 32 mb.
Version of XFree86 installed on my machine:
XFree86-4.3.0,1
XFree86-Server-4.3.0_9
XFree86-clients-4.3.0_3
XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5
X was working well before using nvidia driver with 4.8 stable.
I even run this driver on freebsd-current (5.0 not 5.1) for almost a year.
I have compiled nvidia driver many times from ports (even from sources). I
compiled it more that an hundred times.
I have reinstalled this driver each time I rebuild my kernel or
rebuild my world.
I tried to reinstall this driver about 2 times or more after I upgraded the
first
time to 4.9 prerelease (i was using this driver on 4.8 stable).
I upgrade again and rebuild my world on september 11, reinstall driver
again, and it
still doesn't work.
I am also sure that my video card is working properly, as I tested it on my
roommate computer (win2k).
Here is the kernel I use:
FreeBSD kernix.mutex.org 4.9-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #1: Thu Sep
11 04:48:35 EDT 2003 mutex@kernix.mutex.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DCX
i386
Here is what I have tested:
nvidia driver options:
I tried to compile it using each of theses options:
WITH_FREEBSD_AGP && WITHOUT FREEBSD_AGP support
FORCE_AGP_RATE
WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS
I have tried to add agp_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf (tested with and
without) (with and without kernel support)
I have tried to add device vesa to /boot/loader.conf
Kernel :
device agp (with or without)
options USER_LDT
options SYSVSHM
I have tried these options also:
#options VESA
#options CPU_ENABLE_SSE
My kernel contains all options for nvidia support as in the last readme
provided by nvidia.
Everything looks correct in these directories:
- libGL.so /usr/X11R6/lib
- libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib
- libGLcore.so /usr/X11R6/lib
- libGLcore.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib
- nvidia_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
- libglx.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions
- libglx.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions
- nvidia0 /dev
- nvidia1 /dev
- nvidia2 /dev
- nvidia3 /dev
- nvidiactl /dev
- libGL.so.1.0.1.0-4365 /compat/linux/usr/lib
- libGLcore.so.1.0.1.0-4365 /compat/linux/usr/lib
Here is what I have done on XF86Config:
Tried all these options commented and uncommented, I began first by using
nvidia recommandations as usual:
Option "DPMS" #monitor devices
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices"
Option "IgnoreEDID"
Option "NoDDC"
Option "NvAGP" "0" (tried all 0,1,2,3)
Identifier "nVidia"
Driver "nvidia"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NVidia"
ChipSet "GeForce 256"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
VideoRam 32768
I tried to use default depth 16 instead of 24 because I have seen someone
having problems with that.
Here is the sysctl variable I tried to change :
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableVia4x: 0-1
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableALiAGP: 0-1
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPSBA: 0-1
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPFW: 0-1
hw.nvidia.registry.SoftEDIDs: 0-1
---------------------------------------------
I would like to thank all who give a try to my first post, that's
appreciated :)
I think this is not an "easy fix" but maybe I miss something ?
Hope this helps.
Thanks alot.
Dom.
Here I post my kernel config and XF86Config. I cannot post my own
XFree86.log as i am on a remote location and I am using "nv" driver at home
right now, so only theses "nv" driver logs remains.
MY XF86Config
--------------------------
Logs stop on a line similar like this one in my XFree86.0.log even with
verbose and logverbose options:
(==) NV(0): Write-combining range (0xa0000,0x10000) was already clear.
