[Nouveau] Can't "make" nouveau

Hi everyone,

I'm not used to beta programs and it's the first time I try to compile a
driver, so please excuse me if I ask silly questions. I have Ubuntu 10.10,
KDE desktop, and my nvidia card GeForce 9300 H GS seems impossible to
configure for 2 monitors with the current driver. xrandr commands fail.

I was following the instructions here:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau

What I did was:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-dbg
lsmod
  check if there are nvidia drivers listed? no
sudo modprobe nouveau
lsmod
  Now I can see nouveau drivers listed
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/
cd xf86-video-nouveau/
./autogen.sh
Problem and Solution (found on the wiki):
  sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
./autogen.sh
Problem:
  No package 'libdrm_nouveau' found
Solution1: I see there is a package called libdrm-nouveau1 so I replace:
  #PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBDRM_NOUVEAU, libdrm_nouveau)
by
  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBDRM_NOUVEAU, libdrm-nouveau1)
It does not solve the problem.

Solution2: in configure.ac I comment out:
  # Checks for pkg-config packages
  #PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBDRM_NOUVEAU, libdrm_nouveau)
  #PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBDRM_NOUVEAU, libdrm-nouveau1)
  #AC_SUBST(LIBDRM_NOUVEAU_CFLAGS)
  #AC_SUBST(LIBDRM_NOUVEAU_LIBS)

  #PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XORG, [xorg-server >= 1.8] xproto fontsproto libdrm
xf86driproto $REQUIRED_MODULES)
  #PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XEXT, [xextproto >= 7.0.99.1],
  #		  HAVE_XEXTPROTO_71="yes"; AC_DEFINE(HAVE_XEXTPROTO_71, 1,
[xextproto
7.1 available]),
  #		  HAVE_XEXTPROTO_71="no")
  #AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_XEXTPROTO_71, [ test "$HAVE_XEXTPROTO_71" =
"yes" ])
  #sdkdir=$(pkg-config --variable=sdkdir xorg-server)
This time autogen.sh finishes.

make
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alan/xf86-video-nouveau/src'
  CC     nouveau_exa.lo
gcc: @XORG_CFLAGS@: No such file or directory
gcc: @LIBDRM_NOUVEAU_CFLAGS@: No such file or directory
In file included from nv_include.h:5,
                 from nouveau_exa.c:23:
../config.h:4: fatal error: xorg-server.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [nouveau_exa.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alan/xf86-video-nouveau/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alan/xf86-video-nouveau'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Solution:
  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev
  xserver-xorg-dev is already the newest version.
So this solution fails

What should I do next, please?

You can't simply comment out the dependency checks if they fail, you
need to actually have the correct software installed.

Anyhow, if you're having trouble with mode setting I don't think
installing a newer xf86-video-nouveau will help, you should likely try
a newer nouveau kernel module, since that's where the mode setting
mostly is done. Alternatively, you can try to figure out why xrandr
fails. What was the error message?

Hi Mariane,

You mentioned that you cannot get your dual head to work
I believe that it may be easier to work on that rather than
building everything from scratch

Please note that nouveau consist of four parts - kernel module,
libdrm, ddx (X driver) and 3d component(ignored at this stage).

Nevertheless, the "workarounds" you stated are not correct

What you could do is
  1. obtain everything from the xorg-edgers ppa [1] - in many
cases the packages are quite in track of upstream
  2. build *everything* from git

If you want to build everything form git, follow these steps
  1. git clone, compile and install the kernel(yes the whole kernel)
  2. git clone, compile and install libdrm
  3. git clone, compile and install ddx (xf86-nouveau-video)

For correct way to configure your build take a look at the wiki [2]
If the above sequence fails please do report a bug [3]
in our tracker
