Xorg.conf For Nouvea EXA

Hello,

I would love to be able to use the nouveau driver on my hp tx2000z laptop.  I
can do so today, but must explicitly configure the driver to use shadowfb.  If
I allow the driver to attempt to run using EXA one of two things happen:

1) I see a horribly corrupted X display
2) X fails to start, giving me the message "Fatal server error: Detected
GPU
lockup"

I am currently running Fedora 10, with version 1.5.3 of the X-server and fairly
recent GIT builds of the nouveau driver and drm.  (I tried these thinking that
perhaps the standard F10 packages were not new enough).  Currently running
2.6.28.7 SMP 64-bit kernel, but I've tried several other variants also.

The machine is an HP Pavillion tx2000z laptop with an NV4E chipset (Geforce
6150 Go).  4GB of RAM, and an AMD Turion processor.  I am running the x86_64
version of Fedora 10.

As a longshot, I also downloaded a Fedora 11 Preview live CD, after hearing of
their successful nouveau test day.  I hoped the newer revision of the X server
included there would help.  Unfortunately, F11 also gives me the GPU lockup
message.

I am attaching X.org.log files of two startups of X (one with corruption, and
one with the gpu lockup message) and my xorg.conf file.  If I can provide you
with any other useful information (or if I've somehow missed a very obvious
configuration option), please let me know!

Thanks,
Jeremy

Reading around, something stuck out about having more 2GB of memory in a system
being problematic.  So, I had a few minutes last night to power down my laptop,
remove one 2GB DIMM, and start back up.  EXA works in this configuration. 
Turning on desktop effects with Xrender under KDE is PAINFULLY slow--slower
than running the nouveau driver with shadowfb--but I no longer get the error
messages or screen corruption I previously reported.

Is this behavior likely to change? I reinstalled the second DIMM and let the
memtest application run all night.  The memory checks out just fine. 
Obviously, the built-in video adapter does not have dedicated VRAM, but why
would having 4GB of system memory cause the accelerated driver to fail?

Xorg.log from F12 still shows lockup problem

Hello All,

I decided it was time to upgrade to Fedora 12, and again would really like to
use nouveau so that I don't have to do the nvidia compile (and maybe
download)
dance whenever I update my OS kernel... and, because I hear such good things
about nouveau.  The nvidia driver worked for me under F10, and if I must,
I'll
go back to it, but that just seems so WRONG!

Anyway, 7 months since my last attempt and I'm still getting the GPU lockup
error, both from X and from the KMS driver.  Right now, I've disabled kernel
modesetting, and I'm using nouveau with the shadowfb.  Please help! 
I'll
gather whatever info you might need to help diagnose/fix the bug, but here's
where I'm at now:

Still an HP tx2000z laptop with an NV4E... here's what lspci -vnn says about
it:

        Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb

I'm running F12 x86_64 with kernel kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12 and nouveau rpm:
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.15-18.20091105gite1c2efd.fc12.

I've double-checked, and though it's listed as available, I'm not
loading the
nvidiafb module. Please let me know what information will be helpful to you in
diagnosing the issue, and I will try to provide it ASAP.

Thank you!
Jeremy

I believe it would be beneficial to
1. install the latest git version of DRM modules, libdrm and DDX (the X driver)
2. use the minimalistic xorg.conf from
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau
3. Use KMS (enabled by default nowadays)
4. provide a full kernel log from boot up to the GPU lockup, and X log

Step 1 probably requires you to upgrade your kernel to at least 2.6.32 for the
DRM modules to build.

It seems you have two nvidia devices, according to your X log. The kernel log
should give more information if that is a problem. Related to this, IIRC the
latest DRM code contains changes in multi-device support, although it is not
complete.

If this is too much, you should at least provide the kernel log.

Hi Pekka,

Thanks so much for responding.  I've done as you asked:

1) Booted with kernel 2.6.32.2
2) replaced xorg.conf with the minimal version you referenced
3) checked out and compiled libdrm from git
4) downloaded nightly nouveau drm mods and compiled
5) checked out and compiled the nouveau ddx from git

At first, I got some nasty results (the first three new attachments) but
that's
because I forgot to actually -install- the kernel nouveau drm mods...

After fixing that, I produced the latest three logfiles.  With KMS enabled,
everything works perfectly--for one X login. With KDM running, logging out gets
you a blank screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to restore the local
display.  Restarting from ssh, and trying again gets the same result, a single
good login and then a blank screen.

If I disable KMS, however with nomodeset, (and for now, just trying things from
init 3), I can start and stop X as many times as I like.  I do notice that on
line 636 of the dmesg from a KMS-enabled boot, we have this message:

[drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon

Suggestions on where to go from here would be welcome!

Thanks again,
Jeremy

Ok, I've had a couple of days to play with things... definitely not there
yet.
I still have weirdness when I end an X-session and try to start a new one.
Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.  I'll try to produce some
logs
with useful info... sometimes I see a GPU lockup message, sometimes not.

Also xv is not working properly.  For example, xine with xshm looks fine, but 
play the same video with xv and there's lots of flickering and funky
coloring.

Hopefully useful logs will follow. If anyone can tell me what will produce the
most useful info for diagnosis, I will work to supply it.

Jeremy

An update for anyone interested... probably my last on this ticket, but I seem
to have things mostly working.

The snapshots I loaded on from 2009-12-29 may have been ok, but I don't
think I
had the drm modules loading properly from the init ram disk.

So, I tried again with the drm mod snapshot from 15 January and also compiled
the mesa libdrm and xorg nouveau drivers from about that time.  I've been
running with them since then and things seem generally stable on my laptop. 
The only trouble I have seen so far is when I try to turn on Xrender in KDE,
but I'll save that for debugging later.

As of now, however, I can report that kms, exa, and xvideo seem to be working
generally ok on my hp tx2000.

So, should anyone be tracking things on this almost year-old bug still marked
as "NEW," please close it out if you wish. If I have new bugs to
report, I'll
open a new one.
