2.6.33 vs. NVIDIA GForce GT 220

2.6.33 vs. NVIDIA GForce GT 220

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

I tried enabling staging nvidia driver on GT220, but apparently driver
does not know about it. Unfortunately, I have one of those cards here.

(I wonder... is there better mailing list? MAINTAINERS only lists
linux-fbdev....)

The list is nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org. And driver knows about GT220 just 
fine, I've been using it for a month or two on GT220 already. Don't bother 
about the "supported cards" lists in xf86-video-nouveau or wherever else, the 
driver will happily bind to any nvidia video card with known generation, even 
if nobody has seen that precise model before.

One thing that could happen, however, is missing ctxprog for your chipset. In 
this case, you'll be stuck with non-accelerated nouveau until somebody 
extracts the ctxprog from blob mmiotrace on your card -- come to freenode.net 
IRC channel #nouveau if you need help with that. However, that shouldn't 
happen, since the GT220 chipset is already supported.

Perhaps nouveau-PD4FTy7X32lNgt0PjOBp9y5qC8QIuHrW@public.gmane.org should be added to MAINTAINERS?

Unfortunately, the driver does not seem happy:

I don't really need 3D acceleration, I'd just like to use whole size
of screen... (and found out how to do that even now, after X update
with vesa driver).

Hmm, but this is not nouveau, this is nvidiafb...

And both nvidiafb and vga16fb are known make Nouveau misbehave:
nvidiafb because it messes up the card state, and vga16fb because it
does not do the fb driver hand-over, AFAIK.

Relevant or not, I'd like to advertise our new troubleshooting page:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting

I'm also adding the CCs that were dropped earlier.

Was the original question in this thread about nvidiafb or Nouveau?


Thanks.
