Nvidia chipset and fbsplash
Hey guys, i kinda need some help in here with this.
I have a lcd monitor with native 1440x900 and i want to set up fbsplash but the kernel just give me 1280x1024 and 1600x1200, so it looks kinda squeezed the fbsplash,
So i've been looking the forums, the wiki, almost everything to get a proper framebuffer resolution but nothing found yet. I have an asus m3n78-pro motherboard, so my chipset is a geforce 8300, that's been said, i also tried changing the framebuffer to nvidiafb and not worked.
Already tried uvesafb, hwinfo --framebuffer, vga=ask, video=nvidiafb, al those options an nothing worked so far.
Let me says that i do have 1440x900 with nvidia closed drivers when gdm starts up, and i tried nouveau+kms before and gave the proper framebuffer resolution, but gdm then won't worked cause nouveau didn't catch the right resolution through Xorg.
So any help, i though first of re-compiling the kernel, in order to enable that hidden options saying 'framebuffer for 1440x900' but after spendding a full day through the kernel configs nothing found.
Again any help, would be nice, i kinda felt with the fbplash aur packages and it companion, fbsplash-scripts, initscripts-extras-fbsplash, so i wanna give it a try on my main desktop.
thxs in advance.

The problem is that i tried but not enough to tell you that, i'm not sure if nouveau driver will let me use gnome-shell,
I'll do that, and come back to tell you.

Hp 15-r033tx laptop does not show the Nvidia chipset information and only uses Intel HD graphics
My Hp 15 r033tx laptop has windows 8 64 bit installed in it and as it comes with NVidia Ge Force 820 M 2GB graphics card , I have also installed Nvidia and Intel HD Graphic Drivers but in the dxdiag selection it does not list the Nvidia Chipset and information but only lists Intel HD Graphics with 1786 MB.
Also it does not show any Dedicated Video Ram that is normally showing in my other friends desktop with Nvidia Graphics properly installed
Any solutions?Hi @Suraj2410 ,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to help.
I see that you have Windows 8 installed and are not seeing your switchable graphics.
When I checked the specification page I see it came with Free Dos. When I checked for support drivers they are listed for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

ATI videocard for a 550 NVidia chipset mainboard ??
Hi there,
I have an MSI K9N Neo-F mainboard (550 nVidia chipset) and an MSI 7600GT video card. I decided I wanted to upgrade the video card for my 3D gaming (first-person shooters). After deliberating on what card to get, an nVidia 8800GT or ATI HD3870, I decided to get 3870 on the grounds of better image quality (a 10% less framerate was not important for me) and just because I wanted to try ATI.
So I got the 3870 card. The image quality noticeably improved (e.g. in Team Fortress 2), however the performance of the card did not seem to be as good as it was with 7600GT. Now, the frame constantly tears, so that I had to enable VSync. With VSync, the frame does not tear anymore, however I can see that the framerate slowered, so that I can feel it (jerky movements etc). With the settings, the card should be blasting at the framerates of around 100 fps !
A thought occured to me: was that detrimental for the performance of my computer system that I got an ATI card for the mainboard with an nVidia chipset ? Should I have got an nVidia video card instead on those grounds ?Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 18-March-08, 19:17:27
It doesn't matter. You can use what VGA you like (ATI or Nvidia).
Get Driver Sweeper,(http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=driversweeper) and remove currently VGA Drivers(Both Nvidia and ATI). Do that in "Safe Mode".
Reboot PC,
Install DirectX Release - March 2008: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114542.msg865914#msg865914
then download latest Catalyst from ATI and install them: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx
Reinstall your game too, then re-try.
Thanks for letting me know. I discovered that the ATI driver/Catalyst Control Center (CCC) is unreliable. First, I installed CCC, but got no sound. Then I played with the settings (not changing anything really), rebooted the computer, and got the system sound (but still no sound in Windows applications such as game or Player). Then I played with settings again (not changing anything by the end of the day), and rebooted the computer. Now I got sound everywhere I wanted it. I do not know what happened.
Secondly, last night I tried to enable VSync in CCC and in-game (I got massive "tearing"). It did not work. I played with the settings around, uninstalled the CCC 7.11 and installed ATI Tray Tools (ATT). I enabled VSync via ATT, but it did not work. I uninstalled ATT, and installed the latest CCC from the link you gave (CCC 8.3). For some reason, I could now enable VSync (from within game). "Tearing" disappeared.
I do not appreciate what is happening. ATI provides a good picture quality (and that's why I chose it), however the drivers and work with them are unpolished. For me, having a polished product is a major reason why I get the product.
Now, few seconds after booting the computer into Windows, CCC crashed. I restarted it, and ran the benchmark "Aquamark 3D". After few minites, it crashed. An error window popped up saying that "the program could not read from or write to the address XXXX". This surprised me. I never got errors like this with nVidia Control Panel, or generally with nVidia drivers (their nTune often could not work, though).
My plan now is to uninstall CCC and .Net 2.0 it comes with; after that, I will install ATT and see if I get crashes.
As for getting a new PSU. It looks like so far I do not have the problems associated with underpowering the PC (like shutdown of PC). I will monitor for such symptoms and for symptoms of overheating the current PSU; in this case, I will get a new, more powerful PSU. -
GPU acceleration fix for Dell Intel and Nvidia chipsets with external monitor?
I have a Dell XPS laptop with both integrated Intel chips and Nvidia chips and I can only get the GPU acceleration to work when I don't have any external monitors plugged in.
Is there some way I can get Illustrator to enable the Nvidia GPU and stop being confused by multiple chipsets on external monitors? I really like the live zoom.same problem here,
'm getting a little frustrated trying to get my laptop working with my LG DLP 3D ready projector to display in 3D. The projector itself will work in 3D as long as the resolution is 1024x768@120hz and the laptop's NVidia GTX 770M should have no issues driving the projector with this resolution.
Where it seems like the problems occur is Intel HD 4600 graphics driver gets in the way every time i try to run anything 3D, the software Im using to run any 3D type files do not recognize the projector as a 3D capable device because all the laptop is using is the Intel HD 4600 graphics.
If I could somehow turn off the Intel graphics and just force the laptop to just use the NVidia card I think all my issues will go away. I just am not having success in doing this.
I have tried to go into the NVidia control panel and under 3D settings pick the software program that runs my 3D files and tell it to use the NVidia card...but it never works.
I think everything is sent through the Intel graphics card regardless if the laptop is using the NVidia card (just guessing here)?
I also tried to simply uninstall the drivers but that did not work,
I also tried to disable the Intel graphics but it then went into some type of generic display driver mode and still would not work.
I also went into the BIOS to look for any settings that would allow me to disable the Intel graphics card ..no luck, could not find any settings for this.
Can someone help me with this? how can I disable the Intel graphics and force the laptop to just use the NVidia card all the time?
Thanks!! -
Nvidia Chipset- 32-bit or 64-bit?
Hi, I am new to these forums, so I apologize if this question is posted already somewhere else- I just can't find an answer, so I'm posting my own question.
Can anyone tell me whether or not the new macbook pros (late 2008) have a 64-bit or 32-bit chipset? I've been reading mixed answers throughout the web, and it seems nvidia and apple are being pretty quiet about the answer.
I know that right now this question doesn't really make a whole lot of difference, I just want to make sure that when snow leopard (and nehalem for that matter) is released i'm not kicking myself TOO hard if I decide to take the jump and get the new MBP now.
If anyone knows, I would really appreciate a solid answer. THANKS!Thanks for the link- I had skimmed through it before, but paid a little more attention to the details this time.
So the article says that there is no 32-bit version of Leopard. What confuses me is that a bunch of sites are stating that the nvidia chipset is only a 32-bit chipset. So I'm still unsure about whether or not the chipset is 32 or 64... I mean,
I'll probably never require more than 4gb or ram (at least for the time being) but I just want to make sure that if I make my MBP purchase now, I will not be really unhappy when Apple releases snow leopard (and 64-bit nvidia mobile chipsets to go along with it). Any advice on interpreting that article and information on the 64-bit status of the current mbp chipset is appreciated.
Thanks Again. (I guess I'm just trying to justify buying now, instead of waiting for nehalem... it's a tough task) -
Maxtor ATA133, Promise 20378 chipset and IDE 3
When my 865PE FIS2R RMA mobo arrives I want to use a Maxtor 120 gig hd (ATA 133) on IDE3. Looking through the manual on pg 2-20 it mentions Promise 20378 chipset and IDE3 on the same page. Can I just directly hook the hd to IDE 3 or do I have to load Promise 20378 chipset drivers from a floppy? I believe I have to select IDE 3 through the BIOS as the first boot device, is there anything else I need to do?
Just trying to expedite getting my system up and running, any input appreciated!Hi braveheart,
I have just purchased 2x DiamondMax Plus9 160GB SATA150 drives, I do not want them in any kind of raid, just as two large hard disks. And I am having endless problems with windows XP remaining stable and the M875P motherboard. It could be something else not quite right, like memory or graphics but my hunch is related to the hard disks. Ive ran XP before in the past no probs and never had blue screens with UNMOUNTABLE_Boot_Volumes! and even windows repair failing to scan disks! I have managed to install XP onto them and use it for say 5 hours but it has crashed now 5 times seriously and required a rebuild. Im tempted to switch to 2 non sata hard disks like Samsung SpinPoint P80 160GB UDMA133 as Im sure the problem is hard disk related. Although I will be welcome to suggestions..
There is not much out there on google about it, the first probs I saw were posted here in the important posts section, the unofficial FAQs
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/service/forum/index.php?threadid=21469&sid=
It mentions a fix in bios 1.9, but when is this coming???
I don`t think you will need to install any drivers if your not going to use it an raid formation

Question nVidia Chipset Drive Package Version Number.
Question nVidia Chipset Drive Package Version Number.
Hope this question is in the right sub forum.
I have see this question asked on several Forums, but never see a answer.
How do you tell which Chipset Driver Package Version is installed on your system, other than going to the Device Manager calling up the properties for each device and record the version number and comparing it to what listed for the Drive Package version?
RogerI agree with you Richard.
I wouldn't say super fast ram though, I buy Crucial. It is very nice ram and does not break the bank. (no heatsinks on it or any other expenses)
Maybe I offended you, Bcc, by accident. I'm just trying to help folks on these forums and I have been with the nforce since day one. I have never seen this issue happen (or anything like it) on this board.
Like my suggestion, (if that didn't work, I would have continued to work) if I couldn't disable the agp host I would have uninstalled it (the device itself) and let windows try again. It could have been an nforce package issue and not with the detonator. I wish when these problems occurred, that I had the opportunity to try and fix these very rare occurences and examine the issue at my own desk.
I see too many people jump to the conclusion that they have found the mystery bug and go tell nvidia to recall the boards and fix it. I would not try to tell you that you are clueless about computers, as I don't have any idea how well you know them. But as an experienced technical writer/helper, I'm inclined to speak to the people as if they are dumb. As you can guess, many aren't, and they think that I may be saying they are, but at least they understand the situation.
More than the majority of problems are caused by heat. Too much heat will cause funny things to start happening to your computer. Sometimes it's just the ram, or maybe the cpu that get overheated. With summer coming, it's prime time to see the 'heat' problem creep up. I'm sure this wasn't the case with your issue, but it is overlooked most of the time.
Anyway, I'm glad your happy and your problem is fixed. -
Just today, I removed the passive MSI nVidia Chipset heatsink, and replaced it with an active HSF. NB temps have dropped from 47deg. C to 34deg. C. Got 2 of these fans which were included in a hard drive dual-fan cooling kit from CompUSA. Don't usually buy from them, but it was only $14.99 for the mod!
BEFORE:
AFTER:I'll try to answer all questions as best I can!
1) I think it is a good idea to install any cooling device that will reduce the temperatures of the nVidia chipset (it's actually not a NorthBridge).
2) I believe the most effective means of reducing the temps is to totally remove the stock MSI passive heatsink and install a fan-type cooling device. However, depending on how you use your computer, any additional and increased amount of cooling area and/or devices used for the benefit of increased stability is worth the effort.
3) I do not know how this improvement will affect the guarantee. MSI is aware of the heat generated by the chipset, but felt their cooling solution was adequate. With the aftermarket full of modification hardware for these motherboards, I would be surprised if a warranty was null and void, due to any improvement made to a product. But, just like pushing CPU's and Mobos to their limits...their are consequences....good question for MSI!
4) There are pre-existing holes in the motherboard that the stock heatsink is fastened to. I utilized those same holes and retaining pins and springs for my active cooling.
5) You will need to remove the mobo in order to release tension on the heatsink retainer pins...by just pinching them together and pushing upward through the holes.
In addition to the installation of the active cooling device, I also applied some thermal paste! -

Can anyone tell me what module I need to load (configure MODULES= in rc.conf) to get it working?

Last edited by Shagbag (2008-09-16 17:10:25)It boots Ubuntu fine. Arch linux doesn't complain either. I only found out about the problem when I tried to pacman -Syu straight after the install - there was no networking. ifconfig had done its job but there was no routing table. I manually added route add default gw 192.168.0.1 and edited /etc/resolv.conf to make sure I could get to my router but, again, it wouldn't work. The forcedeth module had been loaded (ethernet driver) so I took a look at lspci (details in very first post) and can see that it's appears to be an issue with the PCI bus (the ethernet hangs off the PCI bus)I ran hwdetect --modules and pasted the output into /etc/rc.conf and rebooted. Still no joy.
The mobo is an ASRock 939N68PV-GLAN. It has an nVidia chipset (GeForce 7050 NB + nForce 630A MCP SB). From my lspci results it would appear the problem is with the 630A MCP. As Ubuntu works and Arch doesn't I'm perplexed. And yes I've googled and followed what little help there is around. Nothing has worked so far. Hopefully someone will have experienced a problem with either the same mobo or the 630A MCP and they can tell me what needs to be done.

Nvidia 173 and kernel 2.6.28 compile failure & nvidia 180 crashes
**please if this the wrong place to post this tell me or transfer so i can know**
Hey , im having troubles with my Nvidia driver for long time now i hope you can help me solve it out so theres the deal :
my computer is : NVidia Geforce 9600 GT , intel E8400 core duo , rest aint important i think
I used ubuntu with this computer on drivers 173 and 177 (nvidia) and its worked just fine. someday ubuntu upgrades it to the 180 series and from then X never started. so i used my Windows XP some where the 180 drivers wasnt so well functional and crashed pretty much alot. then i downloaded opensuse 11 where i hoped my problems will be solved but instead all i got is :
[images]
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9379/dsaf.png
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/9462/dsaa.png
[images]
**this problem occur randomly after X amount of time**
**when this happen on gnome in arch its or im realy lucky to hit the "alt + F2" and execute "metacity --replace" in time so i will have approx 40 seconds before its happen again to save all my things and restart X , if im not lucky X freeze and computer freeze and i must hard reset**
i moved from opensuse because its was very slow boot time and because of the graphic drivers in this stage i got myself Arch x86_64 CD , followed the wiki configured network and xorg and everything also installed the "nvidia" package via packman its worked for some time (1 day ?) and then very same problem of opensuse occur . so i tried every driver after the 180.22 , EVERY of them up to the latest beta 185 . ALL of them result the same thing , (expect 185 which there the GPU wont produce red singals).
for the record : my opensuse was x86_64 , my ubuntu was x86 , and with arch i used x86_64 first and now im using x86. same problem occur in both x86 and x86_64
i wrote all this to give you a better idea of my problem so maybe anyone will have a soulation. and maybe someone else will find it usefull will help anyone in the future.
all i want to do is to downgrage back to 173 drivers where i know its worked with ubuntu without any problems at all but i cant theres the actual problem :
when trying to install from the package itsself (sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg0.run ) i get this :

after a little search on google i understood that my kernel sources are missing (using the -e (expert) on nvidia installer let you set location but its no success on normal /lib/modules/2.6.28-ARCH/build)
so how can i solve this and compile & install the 173 drivers on my i686 , arch , 2.6.28 ?
thanks in advance for reading.After posting this message to the IRC channel , i was told that i can install the nvidia-173xx drivers , its seems to work but i can assure the problem would not occur again so ill just have to watch out, if you have any other fix for this please post.

I think the new xorg-server is the problem as it isn't supported by this nvidia driver yet.
You could try to install the nouveau driver until nvidia comes with a new version of the 173 branch that supports xorg-server 1.10, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau for information. As lower-grade options, you might also consider xf86-video-nv and xf86-video-vesa.
Should i uninstall nvidia driver, then install it?
I think thats the easy way yes, else you have to blacklist the nvidia kernel module.. check the wiki link of nouveau for details. -
Xorg.conf , nvidia 96xx and dual head failure
i cant get Xorg to work with nvidia driver at all.
here is where i am.
setup aurch linux [X]
setup xserver with NV driver 1 head[X]
setup dual head[]
ok so i cant even get nvidia drivers to work or dual head on the NV driver.
i dont have an xorg.conf setup but i have tried the xorg.conf from my fedora setup but it just black screened.

Ive tried everything i could think of or what arch wiki could. I came to aurch linux to learn more about linux (fedora holds your hand to much.) but i dont think i can figure this one out on my own.serverman,
let me see if I understand your situation.
You are using the nvidia drivers and want to setup a dual screen with independent screens (?).
Without a xorg.conf one screen should work out of the box with one screen.
For the proprietary drivers you will need a minimal xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
This still has only one screen, but can you try it and tell what happens ?

Mac Pro Nvidia 8800GT and snow leopard 10.6.4 problems
I have a Mac pro 1.1 with a Nvidia 8800GT and I have having a lot of problems since update to snow leopard latest release. My computer start to show lines and giggle with lines static and then freeze, it make so bad that you can't do anything even restart the computer does not solve the problem. I have reset the pram and all possible solution available. Maybe the video card is going to die soon?
My MacPro 3.1 with Nvidia 8800 Gt is also not HP.
Initially I was getting some video glitches just after start up but then the machine would settle down and run for the session.
about a week ago the situation got increasingly worse so that from last Sat morning its will not even boot up 4 times out of 5 tries.
Gets to the apple symbol then freezes
I've tried booting from the snow leopard install disc but even then its freezes and I see many video artifacts.
I've ordered a ATi Radeon 4870 to replace the graphics card as I thought that might be the issue. The 8800 GT was full of fluff I feared it had cooked itself this summer.
But now I'm concerned from reading several forum topics that a recent OSX update has effectively killed machines with the 8800 Gt card.
I can't really operate fully without my macpro as that where most of the software is held. CS5 master suite etc
My business partner did say just get another machine but i'm not happy to go down that route just yet. Yes of course a 12 core is tempting but at ££££.££ cost.
lucky I have my Macbook pro to use otehrwise i'd be -
[MOVED] H55 chipset and KMS with HDMI/VGA
I recently purchased a Shuttle SH55J2. As there seems to be KMS issues with the Auburndale chipset and the VGA output (output is wavey with KMS on, no X with KMS off), I am attempting to get the HDMI output working with my monitor. I am using a Dell E248WFP which has VGA and DVI input. I am using an HDMI cable with an HDMI-DVI converter.
The problem is the monitor comes up with screen with green background and white text starting from bios all the way through boot to login. I have attempted changing the colorspace of the monitor from RGB to YPbPr, but it simply changes the color of the background. Any clues on how to fix this?
New: I've bought a new hdmi capable monitor. However, with KMS enabled using HDMI->HDMI, the monitor receives no signal, while the HDMI->DVI still has the color problems. With KMS off, HDMI->HDMI works and HDMI->DVI has no signal. So now it appears the KMS is the real issue.
Note: This discussion has been moved to the intel-gfx mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 08315.html
Last edited by milki (2010-10-07 07:42:55)It's likely that the laptop's attempting to output audio through the HDMI as well. Have you tried this? Right-click on the speaker icon in the notification area near the clock (in Desktop mode) and select "Playback devices." What's listed there, and what has the green check mark? Try selecting your speakers and clicking "Set Default."

Stock kernel isn't compatible with nvidia-dkms and nvidia-hook?
Hello pals
I'm using linux-ice, linux-lqx and linux-ck kernels with nvidia-dkms and nvidia-hook. Everything is ok, with kde upping.
I've started from stock kernel. During the dkms (or hook, I don't remember) pacman says that nvidia and nvidia(dkms or hook) were incompatible... remove nvidia? I've selected yes
After it, stock kernel don't upps the kde... stays on black screen. Login on tty1, 2 or 3 is possible, with ctrl+alt+F1...F3, but, kde with kernel don't works
no errors appears.
to force stock kernel been compiled by hook, I wait a while, when using the other kernels, and yesterday I did a "Syyu"
new kernel, new linux-headers too... but still blank screen
I only can use stock kernel and Nvidia driver, not dkms/hook installed one?Ok, i know little about dkms / mkinitcpio hooks , but best option seems to try and build the nividia module manually to get more info.
nvidia-hook gets sources from here : https://github.com/alucryd/mkinitcpio-hooks/ ,
build ()
_version=$(pacman -Qs '^nvidia$'|sed 's/^[^ ]* \|-[0-9]*$//g;2d')
echo "Building nvidia modules for ${KERNELVERSION} kernel..."
dkms install nvidia/${_version} -k ${KERNELVERSION}/_arch
echo "Ok."
help ()
cat<<HELPEOF
This hook rebuilds nvidia modules. It does nothing to the initrd image.
HELPEOF
looks like all the hook does is run dkms install, try running that command manually to get more info.
