Problems with the driver

Problems with the driver

[Piotr Hosowicz]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 565 bytes --]

Hello,

I can build the driver, it loads, but it does not work. Please find 
attached my local data, sorry for the form, I made it a few days ago and 
would have to build a new kernel which would also not work. My card is 
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 
GT] (rev a1). The things stay the same, never mind how I try.

Please CC me, as I am not in the group.

Regards,

Piotr Hosowicz

This is the first mistake, please uninstall the NVidia binary driver.

And this is the second, this version does not work with Kernels later
than 2.6.33.  On Debian, install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau from
experimental to fix that.

Your Xorg.0.log file shows that NVIDIA proprietary driver is still installed.
Try to uninstall it until you no longer see any mention of NVIDIA in Xorg.0.log

Ok, I just have deinstalled nvidia stuff, if I had to trust their 
installer. So now I have to build the kernel with the driver.

You have 0.0.16 nouveau kernel module, but 0.0.15 libdrm/xf86-video-nouveau.
This is probably your main problem. Upgrade libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau.

Note, you didn't uninstall NVIDIA proprietary driver (Module glx: 
endor="NVIDIA Corporation" in xorg.log) which might crash X if wrong
version of some component is installed (don't remember which one, just
uninstall nvidia drivers)

If you resolve these issues and still have problem, simplify your xorg.conf
to contain only:

Section "Device"
Identifier "n"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection

Almost all above is documented on wiki: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting

Ok, I'll try it.

Now I did, wish me luck.

Yes, I reduced it already.

Thanks, I read a bit and it seems that it won't be so simple.

I failed again. :-( Something is not ok with DRM.
