Title: (gelöst) nvidia-Treiber
Post by: df8oe on 2018/06/15, 08:32:00
Seit den neuen xserver Paketen passen die alten nvidia-Treiber-Pakete nicht mehr. Ich dachte, dass sich das in 2...3 Wochen legen würde - tut es aber nicht. Nach wie vor kann nicht alles rund um den xserver-xorg upgedated werden ohne dass die nvidia-Treiber gelöscht werden sollen. Hat irgendjemand Erfahrungen aus der Vergangenheit, wie lange es dauert, bis auch die nvidia-Pakete für den neuen xserver vorliegen?

Leider keine Antwort, aber das würde mich auch sehr interessieren!
Nouveau als Alternaitve zum z.B. 304 legacy getestet, aber das schaut teilweise recht gruselig aus.
Blöd, wenn man deshalb von den dus abgehängt ist.
Bin gespannt, ob jemand was berichten kann.

I personally don't use a xorg.conf

Code: [Select]
Kernel: 4.17.1-towo.4-siduction-amd64 x86_64
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 970/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.59 direct render: Yes

From irc channel (thanks agaida)

You may want to add a  xorg.conf

Code: [Select]
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier      "Nvidia Modules"
MatchDriver     "nvidia-drm"
Driver          "nvidia"
Option          "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "true"
ModulePath      "/usr/lib/nvidia"
EndSection

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900248


I don't know if this works with "legacy packages"

I have some catching up to do and havn't been here or irc for awhile due to health issues, all is good now ;)

Happy to hear health problems are gone!


Yes - I am working with legacy packages nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver :
[/size]
Code: [Select]
root@mypc1:/home/myhome# nvidia-detect

Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] [10de:0605] (rev a2)
 
Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)
Your card is only supported up to the 340 legacy drivers series.
It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
package.

my old grafics adapter needs:

xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xxnvidia-legacy-304xx-driver (304.137-5)

but they are still out of sight, so my Dell XPS has to wait.

Still no luck with 1.20...

What's the difference between Arch, where it runs:
Code: [Select]
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA G92 [GeForce GTS 240]                                                                                                                                             
           Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.20.0 ) drivers: nouveau (unloaded: modesetting,fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz                                                         
           OpenGL: renderer: NV92 version: 3.3 Mesa 18.1.1

and Siduction, where it doesn't:
Code: [Select]
Graphics:  Card-1: NVIDIA G92 [GeForce GTS 240] driver: nouveau v: kernel
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.6 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,nv,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
           OpenGL: renderer: NV92 v: 3.3 Mesa 18.1.2

Is it this "driver: modesetting" and if yes, where can it be changed to the arch way?

@df9oe - that's an easy task - step up as maintainer. you should know that non-free packages don't have the highest priority and that we are lucky that there is a maintainer that take care of in debian. But thats a lot of work - so it might be that a bit man power is needed.

Hi melmarker,


is this package maintained by siduction team not by Nvidia itself? I thought it is/was a "Debian experimental work!??


You are doing all a great job here I never wanted to bother you! I thoufgr you are always doing your work fast and reliabla (and Nvidia not)...

We take the most of the packages from debian - only the kernel, our settings, calamares and some own packages are maintained by us directly - so nvidia-driver is fully taken from debian. And that works fine most of the time. Re legacy packages: One need the ancient hardware to test this - i for myself have only a relative current nVidia card and can test the current drivers. My former card has retired after 12 years of heavy usage.

@df8oe

nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver (340.107-1) with xserver* 1.20.0-2 works for me (https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=7181.msg58668#msg58668).
