SL 7.0 does not appear to provide complete support for the nVidia GK208 (NV108) chip set.
Hi All I installed SL 7.0 in a system that contains a nVidia GK208 (NV108) chip set. This installation does come up but the only display sizes are 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480. The nouveau package that was installed as part of the installation is xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.10-5.el7.x86_64.rpm. The system message file contains; kernel: nouveau [ DEVICE][:01:00.0] BOOT0 : 0x108390a1 kernel: nouveau [ DEVICE][:01:00.0] Chipset: GK208 (NV108) kernel: nouveau [ DEVICE][:01:00.0] Family : NVE0 kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] checking PRAMIN for image... kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] ... signature not found kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] checking PROM for image... kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] ... signature not found kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] checking ACPI for image... kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] ... signature not found kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] checking PCIROM for image... kernel: nouveau :01:00.0: Invalid ROM contents kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] ... appears to be valid kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] using image from PCIROM kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] BIT signature found kernel: nouveau [ VBIOS][:01:00.0] version 80.28.82.00.01 kernel: nouveau E[ VBIOS][:01:00.0] 0xa303[ ]: unknown opcode 0x07 kernel: nouveau E[ DEVINIT][:01:00.0] init failed, -22 kernel: nouveau E[ DRM] failed to create 0x8080, -22 kernel: nouveau: probe of :01:00.0 failed with error -22 I have looked around on the internet and it looks as though version 1.0.11-1 will support this chipset. I have not been able to locate a .el7. version but there is a fedora version xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.11-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm Does anyone know where I can get an .el7 version of 1.0.11-1 or has anyone tried the Fedora version? Thanks Bill Askew

Thanks Bill Askew You may wish to look into the nvidia drivers provided by the elrepo project (yum install yum-conf-elrepo on an SL6/7 system).

Thanks Bill Askew I am guessing that the above Nvidia chip set is (fully) supported by the proprietary Nvidia Linux driver: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82252/en-us Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver Version:346.47 Release Date: 2015.2.24 Operating System: Linux 64-bit Language: English (US) File Size: 73.00 MB I have this working on my SL7 X86-64 workstation.

End instructions Note that this was not done under X11 or a window manager, but from within a plain ANSI terminal screen (e.g., CTRL-F4 to get the fourth terminal. After that, a reboot will (eventually) show the Nvidia splash screen and then a regular GUI (window manager) login. I am currently using MATE because I do not like either the current Gnome nor the current KDE. Hope this helps. Yasha Karant

Bill Askew I am guessing that the above Nvidia chip set is (fully) supported by the proprietary Nvidia Linux driver: The easiest way to find the right driver version is to install nvidia-detect [1] from ELRepo and run it. For example: $ nvidia-detect -v Probing for supported NVIDIA devices... [10de:0fc1] NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 640] This device requires the current 346.47 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia I have this working on my SL7 X86-64 workstation. The stock driver (noveau) needs to be fully disabled. If you use ELRepo's kmod-nvidia package [2], you do not need to do any of this manually. It will disable nouveau for you. Just set up ELRepo as Pat suggested and run 'yum install kmod-nvidia'. Akemi [1] http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect [2] http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia
