[Bug 116254] Re: Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty
You can post the fails to the displayconfig-gtk package in launchpad. It would help if you could doublecheck whether we already have a bug against the given crash (chances are we do). -- Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Dean, There isn't a preference folder for it yet. Also, one reason you may not be able to change settings is that you must run it as superuser: `sudo displayconfig-gtk`.

Thanks Bryce-- I tend to post first--explore later :( I found that out about 15/20 min after I posted--I see that it is not using the restricted drivers yet--I do have several failures saved--it would configure crash during the test.

[Bug 116254] Re: Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty
Great to hear it's working! Offhand, the things worth testing are Xinerama+OpenGL, and Compiz. Oh, you could also see if displayconfig-gtk runs with your configuration. Also, if you happen to continue trying newer kernels, please let us know if you spot regressions with this behavior with any of them.

Hi Bryce-- I'll change over to Compiz as soon as the Compiz/Beryl remerge is thru-- If you want, I'll build a couple of xorg .conf's to play with Xinerama-- haven't done much with it for a few years...I'll take a look at displayconfig too.

If xorg has been updated to 7.3 in Gusty then it might be the NVIDIA binary driver is no longer compatible... ** Summary changed: - Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver + Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty -- Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 116254] Re: Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty
Hi Dean, thanks for reporting this bug. The nvidia driver works okay on my gutsy test system (xserver 1.3, NVS 285), however we did run into an fglrx issue (see bug 115188), so perhaps there is an incompatibility. Can you describe in more detail what is causing the nvidia driver to not work for you? Please attach your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files when trying to load nvidia. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi--I'll get info to you in about 6hrs (at work right now). I fussed with my xorg.conf got the nvidia driver to work in my 22-1 kernel-- still no go in anything newer.

[Bug 116254] Re: Xorg will not use restricted Nvidia driver in Gusty
Ok--I did four runs--two with the 2.6.22-4 kernel two with the 2.6.22-1 kernel. Last night I was able to get the nvidia driver twinview working again in the 22-1 kernel, but it will not finish loading with the 22-4 kernel. I have applied all current (as of 6pm Pacific time--05/23/07) updates with no change in the 22-4 kernel. I see that in the 22-4 kernel the nvidia module loads then Xorg seems to be looking for the FB module--Why would a framebuffer need to be loaded after the nvidia driver? And why is the 22-1 kernel seem not as picky about it? In any case--I have included single dual .conf files with a info file for reference. If you need more infl, just ask.
