[Nouveau] PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR
Hi there! I'm using GeForce FX5200 and today I installed Mesa-dri-driver-nouveau-7.9-3.i686. Now when I shut down the Xserver I get lots of PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR. Is it something serious or a kind of a versions problem? I'm using very recent nouveau kernel and xorg-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16-0.20100921.1.i686.

Re: [Nouveau] GeForce FX5200 dual DVI & Samsung 204b
I did download new sources and applied the amd-agp patch but no change.
I get the some problems. Here is the dmesg without modeset:
http://yen.ipipan.waw.pl/~gs159090/tmp/txt.gz
Then I added following modeline to the file drm_edid_modes.h
/* 1600x1...@50hz */
{ DRM_MODE("1600x1200", DRM_MODE_TYPE_DRIVER, 135000, 1600, 1664,
1856, 2160, 0, 1200, 1201, 1204, 1250, 0,
DRM_MODE_FLAG_PHSYNC | DRM_MODE_FLAG_PVSYNC) },
and tried to force the mode by setting video=DVI-I-[12]:1600x1200...@50.
No luck, here you have the dmesg:
http://yen.ipipan.waw.pl/~gs159090/tmp/txt2.gz
I also did some test with the xorg:
http://yen.ipipan.waw.pl/~gs159090/tmp/Xorg.0.log.gz
http://yen.ipipan.waw.pl/~gs159090/tmp/xorg.conf.gz
The interesting thing is that according to the dmesg the xorgs tries to
set the mode:
Modeline 58:"1600x1200_def" 0 144000 1600 1628 1788 1920 1200 1201 1204
1250 0x0 0x0
but just after the mode is used:
Modeline 75:"1600x1200" 0 162000 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250
0x48 0x5
Here is the xrandr --verbose output:
http://yen.ipipan.waw.pl/~gs159090/tmp/xrandr.nouveau.gz
Just in case I also recorded the xrandr output in the case of the Nvidia
binary driver:
http://yen.ipipan.waw.pl/~gs159090/tmp/xrandr.nvidia.gz
I was really surprised because the xrandr claims that the refresh rate
is 50Hz but at the OSD there is an information that the refresh rate is
60Hz. What to think?? Next thing is that the refresh rate of 50Hz is out
of the monitor range: VertRefresh 56 - 75. So the Xserver should not to
set it to 50.
All the time (when using nouveau.ko) the monitor #1 is switched off and
#2 is blinking. It does not mater if Xserver is running or not.
Please let me know if you need any more data.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Re: [Nouveau] GeForce FX5200 dual DVI & Samsung 204b
I'm completely lost at the moment so let me start from the beginning. First thing is that everything works fine with Nvidia binary drivers, which means that hardware is rather OK. After loading of the nouveau.ko the monitor connected to DVI-I-1 goes to the standby mode. I do not know if the head is turned of or maybe some kind of rates are too high/low. I was trying to play with video=DVI-I-1: with different modes and switches (M/R/D/e) and nothing. At the some time (after loading nouveau.ko) the monitor connected with the DVI-I-2 starts to blink. And again I was playing with the video=DVI-I-2:??? and nothing. I thought that maybe after starting the xorg I will get the proper image at both monitor. Unfortunately - no success. According to the Xorg log file (Option "ModeDebug" "true") all the refresh rates are ok. Moreover I was trying to use different ModeLines and nothing. The X server claims that there are two monitor connected and working but the first one is in standby mode and the second is blinking. Any ideas?? If you need some more information please let me know. Regards PS. My mainboard is equiped with the ADM768 chipset and I'm using now the patch from Francisco Jerez to make the amd_k7_agp to work. Otherwise I'm forced to switch the nouveau AGP support to off. ___ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
Re: [Nouveau] GeForce FX5200 dual DVI & Samsung 204b
By the way: There is now direct implication between the refresh rate and the PixelClock. In theory you can do arbitrary low resolution/refresh rate by arbitrary high PixelClock. Only thing is that setting to high values of PixelClock does not make any sense. ___ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau

1. At the moment I try to get a proper image on the console. I put the
comment about the X-log only to explain why I thing that there is
something wrong with PixClk. Actually the screen blinks in the some way
at the console and when I run the X-server. I was trying to play with
the ModeLine but it seems to be ignored. For example whatever i put
+hsync +vsync or -hsync -vsync I always get at the OSD info that both
polarisation are positive. So it looks like all the timings and etc. are
set by the nouveau.ko not by the xorg nouveau driver.
2. Whatever I put to the video= I always get the some problem. It looks
a little bit like only the resolutions is taken and all the rest is
ignored. I do not have the way to check it but my LCD always claims that
the mode is 1600x1...@60 horizontal 74.9KHz and both polarizations
positive. It does not display the PixClk.
So the situation is very strange. I think that the good start would be
checking what are the current rates of the vertical, horizontal and
pixclk. Is it a way to force nouveau.ko to put it into the dmesg?? If
not then maybe I could just hard-code something like:
printk("h=%d,V=%d,P=%d, ???
into the source tree. The question is where to put it and what are the
names of the appropriate variables.

[Nouveau] GeForce FX5200 dual DVI & Samsung 204b
Hi there, Im using GeForce FX5200 dual DVI graphics adapter connected with two Samsung 204b monitors. At the moment I'm using binary nvidia drivers and everything works fine but I'm forced to switch to nouveau. Unfortunately there are problems. It seems that nouveau.ko wrongly detects the PixelClock of my monitors. More precisely, after loading of nouveu.ko the screen starts to blink. According to my experience the problem is too hight PixelClock. Moreover, in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log you can find the line: NOUVEAU(0): Ranges: V min: 56 V max: 75 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 81 kHz, PixClock max 175 MHz which is false. The maximum PixClk for Sumsung 204b is 162MHz. I was trying to play with the video= kernel parameter but there is no way to force the PixClk. I was also trying to edit the suitable ModeLine in the drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_modes.h but I thing nouveau.ko ignores it. So my question is what to change (in the kernel source) to override the detection and force MaxPixelClock to 162MHz just to make sure that the problem is related to PixelClock. To build the kernel I used the kernel tree downloaded from nouveau about one week ago. Thanks in advance for any help. ___ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
