Both nouveau and nVidia driver problems with Stellarium

Stellarium v0.12.4 with either xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 or nvidia (latest driver) and an nVidia MCP78S (GeForce 8200) chip usually results in either distorted graphics and sometimes complete system lock-up.
The nVidia driver is worse, nouveau sometimes works but its a crap shoot. This has been going on for about 2 months now, and I have tested both drivers.
With nouveau it dumps these boot errors, but works on other software just fine:
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x10022c
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x100230
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x1002e4
I cannot use the nvidia driver in general because it sometimes causes graphics faults when using Chromium.
I don't get any other graphics issues other than with Stellarium (and obviously I cannot run google-earth with nouveau either).
Any ideas on where to start with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks for answering!
Following your advice, I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Nvidia (http://www.nvidia.fr/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-260.99-whql-driver-fr.html). I'm not sure this is the one I updated on the first place since I don't remember when I did it (it was a few months ago, and as I had internet without using wi-fi, I didn't see that much the BSOD, but now that I'm back to wi-fi, the problem occurs often). Until now, no BSOD, but the first problem "Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered" is still here, and a little bit more annoying since it can occurs while watching some video files (it didn't happen before).
For the BIOS problem, it was the one described on the link you gave, but no the problem is over. I was just thinking it could be relevant to understand the others problems.
I'll let you know if the BSOD is (or seems) definitively gone. In the meantime, if someone knows how to fix the problem of the display driver that stopped responding and was recovered, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • Ultra 40 fx3500 nvidia driver problem with XP

    Hello,
    I have a Sun Ultra 40 Workstation with an fx3500 graphic-card. With Solaris, Mandriva and 64Bit-Windows
    the card works without problems. But with XP 32-Bit only the old 9x drivers from Nvidia work. If I try to
    install a driver-release above 100 (today I tried 191.00, but I also have tried many other releases) the driver
    installs fine. But after rebooting the workstation powercycles short before the Windows-Login-Screen
    appears and Windows boots in "Safe-Mode". Then I can install the old 9x drivers and XP works again.
    I tried a tool which wipes out the old Nvidia-driver first, bevor installing the new one, but no success.
    Why is it not possible to install new Nvidia-drivers?
    After the second boot when the driver has failed to load, the following messages appears on the screen
    after the Bios has finished:
    "Nvidia Rom Bios" "Detecting Arrays"
    I could not read the whole text, because the message appears only a very short time, so I could not
    read the message exactly. But the message only appears after the problem with the graphics card driver.
    I have not configured disk-arrays. I'm not shure, but is it possible that there is something wrong with
    the Nvidia-fx3500, the Nvidia-mainboard-Chipset and the Nvidia-graphics-driver above the 100. release.
    Can you please help me?
    Best Regards
    Ralf

    First of all, thank you guys for your replies, and sorry if I answer you late; but I was tring to apply some of your suggestions.
    pharao:
    My old card was "the stupid" (Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT with Kyro 4000XT chipset)
    Hotoro:
    What do you mean by reload Windows XP? Un/Re-Install it?! It is not a good solution for me, at least, right now. I have huge data, my settings and a lot of application installed that needs days to restore or reconfigure, and I do not think that I have that much time.
    daveg4otu (Dave):
    Thank you for your help. I already removed old card drivers and registry entries, and now I also removed the new ones using "Driver Cleaner" as you suggest, but the same was the result
    Raven236:
    No, my old card was not ATI. OK, I will try this new driver (56.72), but I can not keep downloading all drivers without result, can I?
    coollg:
    I do not think so, because the card is working fine on the same PC on Windows 98SE. So, it is not Mainboard, AGP or compatibility problem, as I think. In other hand, you are right, I am not expecting to get the maximum performance from that card, I am, now, looking for the minimum.
    Did I have to do someting else?!!!
    Thanks again.

  • New nvidia driver problem with MOHAAs

    I installed the latest driver from NVIDIA (v 66.93). Everything seemed ok.
    When I run Medal of Honor Spearhead, the display flickers off and on. The current driver version I am using is 61.41 with no problems.
    My directx version is 9.0c.
    My video card is MSI FX5600 TD128
    Any ideas what causes this problem whilst running Mohhas ??
    Obviously, I can use my current driver. But I would like to know what is causing the problem with the new driver.

    Nice catch KaptCrunch!

    Medal of Honor Under Windows XP / Windows 2000
    Problem
    The Electronic Arts game Medal of Honor uses a hard coded buffer to parse
    the OpenGL extension string. This can cause a system crash under Windows
    XP and Windows 2000.
    Workaround
    NVIDIA has implemented Medal of Honor application detection to work
    around this extension string crash.

    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • Has anyone got the B500 to work with Ubuntu? (nvidia driver problems)

    In two weeks, I have been completely unable to get the nvidia driver working with the B500 on Linux. No matter what I try to do, the X server doesn't start, and my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file ends with "fatal server error: no screens found." I have tried feeding a custom modeline to xorg.conf, explicitly calling an EDID file which I extracted from the Windows installation, using the upstream nvidia driver installer, using the official repository driver, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I'm not recalling right now.
    Versions I've tried this on:
    Kubuntu 10.04, 32- and 64-bit
    Ubuntu 10.04, 32-bit
    Kubuntu 9.10, 32-and 64-bit
    I am stumped. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?
    best,
    -p.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solved with the kind assistance of paulricardomc on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477507
    Short version of the fix:
    1. Extract the edid from the Windows partition using softMCCS, saving as edid.bin
    2. Save the edid.bin file in /etc/X11 (or wherever you like)
    3. Include the following in the device section of your xorg.conf:
    "Option"  "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
    "Option" "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
    Fire up X and you're good to go.

  • Satellite 2800-400 sound card driver problem with XP-SP2

    I have upgraded my Satellite 2800-400 to XP-SP2 and my sound card driver does aperently not work with SP2. I have downloaded the latest driver that I can find and that is 5.12.1.5245 from 2002, but this driver does not work together with the program Skype. I get a massage that the sound card driver does not suport SP2.
    How can I solve this problem without deleting the SP2 upgrade.
    Message was edited by: felixnorway

    I have tried both drivers and the same problem ocurs.
    After ecessive testing I have found out that everything/skype now works well for 1-2 hours. Then sudenly my compter does something (I do not now what, and I can not se that the computer does anything) and then sudenly Skype starts beeing blocked by SP2. At the same time (same minute) that Skype after 1-2 hours of perfec running sudenly is beeing blocked, my computer somehow have loaded a file named kernel32.dll for the second time. How i found out this is just a coinsidence, no errors indicates this file beeing involved and this is maybe normal. The file is located at C/Windows/system32/kernel32.dll. Do you know what my comuter does after this amount of time and why it loads this file for a second time. When I turn on my comuter the file is loaded and that is logical, but after 1-2 hours what is the logic for the computer to load it again. Is this something I can shutt off?
    My computer runs perfect and smoth for 1-2 hours, then I beliwe the whole system32 is loaded again and this causes some kind of problen and makes the SP 2 kick in.
    Any advice?

  • Jcom vb-ejb(both stateless and stateful)'s problem

    I try the jcom sample on wls7.0sp4,it's ok.(the sample used entityBean)

    the client vb source :
    Set objTemp = GetObject("examplesServer:jndi:ejb20-statefulSession-TraderHome")
    //the statement is wrong!!
    Set mobjHome = objNarrow.narrowobjTemp, "examples.ejb20.basic.statelessSession.TraderHome")
    can anyone help me?
    thks!
    p.s: the jndi name is correct.

    A deployed bean can not be both stateful and stateless. You must specify the session-type in the deployment descriptor. The reason that deployed beans must be either stateful or stateless is that the ejb container must know how to handle them. Stateful and stateless beans have very different life cycles as I'm sure HeadFirstEJB pointed out.
    What HeadFirstEJB might have been trying to say is that if you have a no-arg create along with other create methods, you may be able to deploy the bean as stateless in one environment and stateful in another. I can't think of any reason you might want to do this but I suppose there might be some valid reasons out there.

  • We recently purchased the iphone5 (2) and are having problems with sound coming thru the earbuds when we plug them in to the iphones.  works fine with the ipad.  help please

    recently purchased the iphone5 (2 of them) and are having problems with the earpods.  no sound when plugged in to the iphone.  both phones.  works with the ipad.  help please

    Hi P5052,
    Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your iPhone 5's!
    It is very unusual that neither phone is working with the new earpods. 
    Have you tried a different headphone just to see if the issue is with the earpods or the iPhones?
    The article below will give you the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Symptoms
    When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
    Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4 or later models, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector.
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!
    - Judy

    Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

  • [Athlon64] Cool n Quiet and AMD driver problem...

    I hate to be the one to start another cool and quiet thread, but this is a problem I can't figure out. I have been running cool and quiet on my NEO Athlon 64 motherboard for over a year now, and it has worked perfectly, until today. I re-installed windows, because it was giving me problems, thanks to one too many virus and spyware attacks over the past year. Anyway, I installed windows, installed service pack 1, and all the assorted drivers for my hardware. I downloaded the latest AMD cpu driver and installed it. I have my power option set to minimal. I have everything just as it was, but the cool and quiet never kicks in. I am monitoring it with the Cool and Quiet panel, and it just sets at 2000 mhz. Cool and Quiet is turned on in the bios, and so is acpi. Windows xp reports having ACPI installed. I'm stumped. Is the fact I am using SP1 and have not upgraded to SP2 have anything to do with this? I notice the latest AMD cpu driver mentions it is for winxp SP2. I am avoiding SP2 because it has an issue with software that I use on my network. If it's because of SP2, is there a site I could download the older AMD cpu drivers from, to get this thing working? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hello dude!
    Well I remember to be in the same case, but when I reinstalled the WinXP, it comes with the SP2 integrated and I just active the Cool n Quiet installing the AMD Power Monitor lasted version and set se PM to Minimal, and it works perfectly, And about your problem with the WinXPSP2 Firewall you just have to unmark the LAN protection from the Firewall settings and thats all...
    Enjoy the Life, Enjoy AMD...

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or at least maintain the charge over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.
