NVidia ION Driver

Hi All,
I am new to Arch but I have installed it a couple of times on other machines fine. I'm now trying to install it on a new build I'm doing that uses nVidia ION for video. The only thing is, I'm not sure what driver I should be using? I did try searching but came up with nothing Could anyone tell me please?
Thanks,
Luke

What make/model board? I have a Zotac IONITX A-U that works using the nvidia driver pacakge. I suspect this will work for you too.

Q150 - New Nvidia ION graphic driver

Did anybody give a try to the newest 266.58 WHQL nvidia ION driver?
Is it solving the now infamous 1080p HD stuttering?
It claims that "Supports GPU-acceleration for smoother online HD videos with Adobe Flash 10.1"!

A couple of people who posted feedback on NewEgg mentioned updating the ION drivers with good results. Click on the feedback tab from the link below, and look for comments from Pluto on 1/18 and SHiZNiLTi on 1/4.

Xorg.conf nVidia ION resolution

Sorry for my English.
I have this board: ASUS AT5IONT-I, Atom D525, ION2, PCI-E 4X, 2xDDR3 SODIMM, Gbit LAN,E-sata, USB3.0, DVI, HDMI, Fanless, Heatpipe, Mini-ITX.
And, trying to make HTPC.
I install Arch with openbox, but the problem is with video resolution.
I use my 32PFL9606H Philips TV 32''.
I set proper 1920x1080 resolution is xorg.conf but "xdpyinfo | grep dimensions" reports: "dimensions: 1280x800 pixels (338x211 millimeters)"
here is my xorg.conf:

Hi !
Please don't use xorg.conf, edit the files inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ instead.
I also have an ION board and have working HDMI connection with audio at 1920x1080 using the below configuration. Remove your xorg.conf and then edit these files:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

Please note that the above Modeline works on my TV (a 22'' low cost brand one) but I cannot guarantee it will work on yours.
Try that first, then if it doesn't work, try to generate one using the cvt command, and replace the Modeline:
cvt 1920 1080
it should output something like this:
# 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
If this method doesn't work either, try the method explained here (which is the one I've first used to find the right Modeline). Its tricky method, and requires a bit of work and lot of patience ... just don't give up
Finally, a little bonus . To have working HDMI sound, I have to put these lines in /etc/asound.conf:
/etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
Again, you may need to change the device index in your case. You can list alsa devices using aplay -l command:

Videos quality problem (N510 - nvidia ion)

Hi,
I'm running arch on my samsung N510, with its nvidia ion (Geforce 9400M). I've some video quality problems. When images changes go quickly, stripes appear at the top. I made a capture (http://yfrog.com/7acapturewep) that shows the problem, it shows the stripes on the whole image It is not to be considered as my actual problem : during playback I see stripes only at the top of image.
I use the nvidia driver, tried with and without vdpau, and with different video players (mplayer, vlc...), with the same problem.
The videos are xvid, or h.264, HD or not.
Any idea ?

your problem is called tearing and it's a well known issue:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearing
the nvidia drivers provide a seperate video output for media players that should prevent this, try:
xvinfo | grep Blitter
i have no tearing with composite enabled on my 6600GT
note that you do have to use the proper vide driver in mplayer. If you use smplayer, it's under options -> video. The nvidia anti-blitter output driver should be listed.

EnzoMatrix: NEW 256 Nvidia GeForce Driver Due May 24th

The 256 Nvidia Video driver (that covers both desktops and laptops) is due out May 24th. I am really hoping that support for our; 760i and 9800 S will be included. Here is the article:
                               256 Nvidia Video Driver Launch & 3d Vision Postponement
Yeah, they have pushed back the 3-D Vision Surround support until the June or July release of the 256 branch driver. If I am reading between the lines right (and I hope I am) it looks like Nvidia is FINALLY going to start a regular Monthly  driver release, like ATI has been doing for years and years. Monthly releases keep up with newer games and advancing technology (like DX 11). Let's all send out Happy Thoughts to Nvidia supporting monthly driver releases!!!

Ahead of schedule, Nvidia released 257.21 WHQL today! Here are the links:
                                                Nvidia 257.21 Win 7-Vista 64bit 257.21 WQHL Driver
                                                Nvidia 257.21 Win 7 & Vista 32bit WQHL Driver
Most suprising is that that they only support desktops and not desktop/laptop as Nvidia indicated this 256.xx family of driver would. Mayhaps there are a lot more problems with the all inclusive driver than they had anticipated. Here is more infomation on this driver:
This is the first driver release from the Release 256 family of drivers (versions 256.xx to 259.xx). This driver package supports GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, 300, and 400-series desktop GPUs as well as ION desktop GPUs. Learn more about Release 256 drivers here .
New in Version 257.21
Adds support for Blu-ray 3D with NVIDIA 3D Vision technology. Learn more about the hardware and software requirements here .
Increases performance for GeForce GTX 400 Series GPUs in several PC games. The following are examples of some of the most significant improvements measured with GeForce GTX 480. Results will vary depending on your GPU and system configuration:
Up to 14% in Aliens vs. Predator (1920x1200 noAA/AF – Tessellation on)
Up to 4% in Batman: Arkham Asylum (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF PhysX=High)
Up to 5% in BattleForge (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF – Very High settings)

S12 - Why no NVIDIA ION option?

If you search google for Ideapad s12, you will get nothing BUT reports about the S12 and how it is the first Lenovo netbook to offer the NVIDIA ION platform for graphics.
But when I go to purchase one, there is no option for ION.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

The SU4100 I believe has no place in the S12.
I think that low Ghz processors, despite it being Core 2 Duo, will ultimately fall short.
I do Multitask a lot. I run AIM / mIRC / Several tabs in Chrome / Type in Word / Use Excel / Listen to Music / Stream or Download webcontent at the same time.
I'm running on a 2.5 Ghz Single P4 (which is a lot like the Atom platform) and 1Gb DDR Memory.
It runs GREAT, but give it a lower Core speed and I lose a lot of the benefits that the processor has to offer.
The Core 2 has NONE of the benefits that the Atom has, and can do at a higher clock.
So simple being Dual Core doesn't imply it will perform better.
Yes Intel / AMD are different, but the technology used in Netbooks was developed for a reason: Ultra low power computing with high output. This saves on battery, but enables mobility without significant sacrifice to performance for every day tasks. Pair it with the ION graphics platform and you have a sure thing.
Windows XP
512MB System RAM
2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
128MB Direct3D compatible video card and DirectX 9.0 compatible driver;
8x DVD-ROM drive
4.6 GB free hard disk space
DirectX 9.0c (included)
DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
Keyboard, Mouse
Oblivion specs ^
Windows 7 will cut down of performance hinderence.
2GB DDR2 RAM would enable smooth compatability between graphics and task holding
2.0Ghz ATOM fits the profile perfectly
The ION blows this requirement away in theory
The rest is negligible, BUT the processor you suggest would actually CRIPPLE the system.

NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver

Alienware M14x Laptop
Windows 7-pre 64-bit
8gb ram
3gb Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M
Intel i7 2760QM
AE CS4
AE keeps crashing. I get the following message while doing something as simple as scrubbing through the timeline, or changing opacity of a layer. in 1080p, I have a picture layer, a solid, some color corrections, and that's it. i just got this new computer and i have never had this problem on my old computer.
this message appears after AE crashes."The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close."
this message appears in the taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
any ideas on how to stop AE from causing my display driver to stop working?
Thanks, Ramzi Rebeiz

For anyone picking up this thread (it's probably too late for rrebeiz40 by now!) I have come across a simple but apparently very effective tip that has solved the 'OpenGL driver lost connection' issue for many people using various NVIDIA with various Adobe progs (incidentally a lot of these seem to crop up on Dell machines, especially Notebooks).
(It fixed my issue with Premiere Pro CS4 - GeForce GT 555M on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Dell XPSL702X).
It's posted on http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40 (look for the last post, No 50) as follows:
THIS FIX APPEARS TO WORK...found on an Adobe forum
"This issue led me to this fix: go to NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" (the default "Adaptive" setting seemed to be the culprit). And that's it! The key here is changing the "Global" setting, as my individual programs were already set to "Prefer Maximum Performance." I can cause the error to reoccur by changing back to "Adaptive."
Otherwise lots more ideas on this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix...Nvlddmkm-Error/
My PC has been running for 2 days now. I only put the top fix in for now. Feel happier I have more options if need be though.

It worked for me

Xorg fails to restart with nvidia propertiary driver

Hi!
Dear fellow archers, I've got this little problem which is driving me crazy: after first successful start of xorg while booting ("kdm" is in the DAEMONS list in rc.conf), i can't get to start it once again (for example with "/etc/rc.d/kdm restart"). When I try to do this screen goes blank (+ single underscore in top-left corner) for ~10 seconds, then nvidia logo shows up for half a second, and finally it failbacks to terminal.
I use thinkpad T61 with nvidia quadro nvs 140m and nvidia driver version 190.42 (from extra repo).
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

I don't think the 190 driver is intended for the quadro M series. As per the nvidia site, the 100 or 169 drivers support your video card.
edit: You might also try the nouveau driver.
Well, this quadro is almost identical to geforce 8400GS, so I don't think nvidia site is up to date in this respect. Besides, other than this issue everything works just fine. It is just annoying to be forced to reboot everytime I have to restart X. And I need nvidia propertiary driver, because I use opencl.
Thats odd then. I have an 8400gs and am using the beta driver without any issues. Give the legacy driver a try once.
Exit the gui (ctrl+alt+f1)
Remove the current driver
pacman -Rd nvidia nvidia-utils
(replace with nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta if you switched to the beta driver)
Now install the legacy driver
pacman -S nvidia-173xx nvidia-173xx-utils
Reboot
Hope this helps.

MacBook Air/nvidia GeForce9400M/driver issue font installation fails on xp

xp sp3 on a MacBook Air (bought 04-2009, 2x 1,86 GHz, 128 GB SSD) fails to install otf type fonts with an error message. Also Adobe Photoshop 10 (CS3) will crash upon trying to insert writing into a jpeg, tif, psd etc.
Source of problem: The nvidia graphic driver needs some more memory allocation than xp expects.
Remedy: open the registry editor (START>RUN>regedit)
navigate to the following key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement
add a new REG_DWORD Value
change the name of the value to
SessionImageSize
set its value (decimal) to
20
reboot
-- this problem would only seem to affect xp sp3 systems with nvidia graphics
-- be sure to backup your registry before changing it and
be sure to know what you are doing before editing the registry
Apparently this problem has been recognized by nvidia and implemented in their latest driver release. This is not suited, however, for Apple products, since they have further customized the nvidia driver (and apparently NOT included this fix!).
The fix will resolve the problems mentioned above with installing otf type fonts and inserting writing into pics in photoshop. Photoshop, however, continues to crash upon exiting, an issue not yet resolved.

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
use the SafeBoot options of XP as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11
Use Safe Mode (=Minimal) to startup XP with a minimal set of drivers and from there uninstall the not-working Nvidia drivers.
The reinstall the drivers that worked.
You might wanna tryout if 'Last Known Good Configuration' works.

Solaris 10 x86/x64 on NVidia ION

Hello guys,
is it possible to install Solaris 10 x86/x64 on the NVidia ION-Platform? Are there any successful installations? For me it is important to know about the Point-of-view ION/330. This board I think is for a little home server a great performance/watt - system under 50W total power consumtion.
I hope anybody can help me.

Hi,
I was successfully installed Solaris 10 on NVidia, and no troubles yet. But make sure to install latest version of Solaris i.e "Solaris 10 5/09", it'll install all drivers for Nvidia mother board by default. Otherwise you would have to face some problems to get the desktop.
Thanks

How do I install the nvidia 173 driver?

Hi
Today I installed Arch. Felt like the greatest achievement. Got xorg, and a few other things working, lxde until I download kde... and how to I install the nvidia 173 driver from the aur for my nvidia geforce fx 5700 (leastwise winfast a360) on arch?
many thanks.
PS sorry if this is scruffy, I'm on my phone which is small

Welsh_Miner48 wrote:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-173xx/ is it I think
Sure it is.
Did you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia ? It's mentioned at the very beginning.

With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.
You can trey the test extension: http://jagriffin.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/introducting-grafx-bot/

HP Pavilion 15-n240ee NVIDIA Graphics Driver for win 7 (64-bit)

please help
This question was solved.

Hi:
First you have to install the Intel HD graphics driver first, reboot and then install the nvidia graphics driver.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23885&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207...
If the W7 x64 nvidia graphics driver from your notebook's support and driver page doesn't work still, then try this one...

NVIDIA Diplay driver crashes in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have been editing AVCHD video in the latest version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 for some time now and then suddenly about 3 weeks ago I started having problems where the NVIDIA display driver for my GTX 580 would crash and then recover but kick me out of Premiere Pro in the process. I had the Mercury Playback Hardware engine enabled. Chaging it to software render mode fixed the issue and ultimately rolling my video drivers back to a previous version seemed to eliminate the problem completely allowing me to enable hardware render mode again.
I turned off auto updates on my video card since then and last night the problem suddenly came back. This time software render mode crashes too. I can even have Premiere Pro open and not be doing anyhting and sometimes after a while it just randomly crashes. It happens with all my projects and never in the same place on the timeline.
I deleted all of the render files and recreated them and even imported the project into a new project. This did not fix it.
I tried reinstalling old and new drivers using the "clean install" feature. No good.
I edited the TDR settings in my registry increasing the delay time before it recovers as recommended by Microsoft when this issue occcurs and this did not resolve my issue.
I am really concerned now because from everyhting I have read it should be working in software render mode. Since it's not I am at a loss.
I have other programs that use CUDA hardware rendering and none of them have an issue. It just seems to be with Premiere.
I also checked the temperature of the video card and that's fine. No overheating issues with my MOBO either.
I read somewhere that it could even be caused by a drop in clock speed on the card so I downloaded a utility to overclock my card and that didn't resolve the issue either.
Any ideas? I'm in crunch time on a major project and I can't render, export or do anything without it crashing.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, 12 GB of RAM, terabytes of hard drive space and an intel 6 core processor. My specs are well above the requirements. I have had this card since December and like I said, the issues just started a few weeks ago.
Thanks.

I am not at home so I haven't tried rolling back further but I can confirm the version drivers that I tried are 320.18 which was working for a while, 320.49 and 327.23.
For reference I have Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 and the latest Windows 7 64-bit updates installed.
The mobo is an ASUS P6T Deluxe.
When I reinstall the NVIDIA drivers I use the clean install option which completely removes the previous version before reinstalling. I found that I have to reinstall this is the best way since uninstalling from the control panel only adds the drivers back on a reboot.

V570 Nvidia display driver problem

Hi,
I just bought a laptop Lenovo V570 with the serial nr.: 59-3157502y. When i try to instal the nvidia display driver i get the message: "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".
Please give a solution how to fix this problem. I had high expectations for this product....
Tks

In the drop down list you're picking Geforce 500 series, you should be picking Geforce 500M series (notebook)
