Re: [Emc-users] Unable to get Nvidia Graphic Card working with nvidia drivers .

Hi to all. Just an update. I set the isolcpu=1. I disabled the legacy USB support from the BIOS . I finally remove the Nvidia drivers + the NOUVEAU drivers and reboot the system. After that the latency numbers are pretty good (I mean comparing with the previous numbers) . The base thread peak is le

Thank you Kirk for your detailed explanation I will try your tips. My cpu is an Intel dual core so isolcpu=1 should be the right one . Alex Il giorno 07/nov/2014 20:12, "John Alexander Stewart" ha scritto: > Alex; > > I've made the isolcpu=1 modification but numbers are always pretty high > > (6

Thank you Eric. Your observation may be correct . The Nvidia driver installation is a big issue for many users that are not using LCNC . I will remove the drivers I've installed and I will go for the Vesa solution. The Gigabyte and ASRock mobo seems to be better than ASUS for LCNC. And to have a se

Vesa worked fine. The open source Nvidia drivers were not good for latency. You may wish to go with an interface that doesn't use 3d. I believe that the problem with the Nvidia system is that they want a specific kernel layout and it doesn't work with the RTAI kernel, but I can't be sure On Fri

Hi Eric . Did you get good latency numbers with Vesa drivers. My need is to get the best latency numbers is possible. If it's better to use the Vesa drivers I will do that . Nowadays the two biggest Graphic cards/chips manufacturers seems to be Nvidia and ATI so why it is so hard to get this cards

Last time I set up a lcnc system I had a lot of trouble with the Nvidia drivers -- they wouldn't install. I did go with Vesa. I don't really think it's a problem. On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 11:46 AM, alex chiosso wrote: > Hi Dave . > Actually seems that the NOUVEAU drivers are used as I can see in

Hi Dave . Actually seems that the NOUVEAU drivers are used as I can see into the Xorg.0.log file I've attached . Do you suggest to use the Vesa instead of Nouveau ? Alex On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 5:39 PM, Dave Caroline wrote: > Nvidia is a known problem see > > http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wik

Hi to all. I've built a new desktop pc (honestly I bought the hw components a couple of years ago) to use it for LCNC application hoping to get a good latency numbers . The mother board is an ASUS P5KPL SE ; The Graphic Card is an ASUS EN8400GS 512MB based on the GeForce 8400GS chip ; The Processor
