[Nouveau] running x.org on powerpc64 with nvidia6200
I am newbie in this topic and I have problems trying to bring x.org up
on the hardware I have:
IBM QS22 BladeServer (PowerPC64 architecture) with PCI-Express connected
nVidia 6200 video card.
OS: Fedora 10-ppc: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.5aik #1 SMP Tue
Feb 10 14:55:56 EST 2009 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux
I downloaded and compiled DRM driver (git clone
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm) and loaded it:
[root at localhost ~]# modprobe drm
[root at localhost ~]# modprobe nouveau
[root at localhost ~]# dmesg | tail -n 3

*As I see (but I am not sure that I do understand things right), x.org
uses vesa_drv.so for configuration but it starts with nouveau_drv.so
what looks for me as a mess.
So my questions are:
1. is there a simple way to know if /dev/fb is alive?
2. is there any simple way to make x.org working without ANY
acceleration at the moment?
3. what am I doing wrong in my expirements? I can see 4 types of drivers:
- original drivers coming with the fedora10 kernel (I got rid of them
before started playing with nouveau because they did not create even
/dev/fb*);
- drm drivers (which are replacement for the original onesm right?)
- x.org drivers (which I've not changed/replaced)
- mesa drivers - what is their role - I still do not understand.
Thank a lot in advance for the answers/clues on my silly questions :-)

[Nouveau] running x.org on powerpc64 with nvidia6200

Current libpciaccess is broken, in that PCI cards only work in the first domain. So the solution is to put the card in a slot from the first domain if possible. You are screwed otherwise (well, you could replace the hardcoded first domain in pciaccess with the right domain and it might work, I don't know...) Stephane
