Nvidia nforce driver Vs Standard Kernel driver modules
Has anyone compared the drivers for nforce chips?
im currently using the in-kernel drivers and am not having in trouble.. with the exception of the crappy onboard sound chip that doesnt have a hardware mixer..
im wondering if switching to the nforce drivers might help with the sound.. or provide any benefits at all, be it speed / stability / etc.
I had problems with the kernel audio driver giving me static filled output, plus the software-only mixing problem. Word is that nvidia won't share enough of their hardware secrets with the ALSA devs to allow proper hardware mixing. I also never was able to pin down the static problem but it did not occur with the nvidia OSS modules, so I must assume it was a problem with the ALSA driver. I finally switched to a Via chipset because I needed ALSA and had a spare Via KT880 sitting around. Everything works greats on this board with included ALSA modules, including hardware mixing.

Kernel forcedeth and intel audio or nforce driver modules?
I recently discovered Nvidia makes nforce driver modules thanks to the recent packages listed on the Arch website. I have long since been using the Vanilla kernel drivers built in (which are reversed engineered or similar chipsets) without any problems.
My question is, are there any reasons I should switch over to Nvidia modules other than the fact that they are native to the manufactuer (performance, stability gains etc.)? I've noticed some posts have touched on this issue but they don't explain anything other than what looks like users preference.
Thanks for any info,Before the forcedeth module was available, I would always go here for help:
http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=29
One version, some people were having problems with the forcedeth module, but that was long ago. I also remember some bandwith tests, but I have not been to the site in ages.
I quickly looked around and it appears nvidia is contributiong to the forcedeth module anyway. I don't know about the sound. -
Nvidia nForce Network nic (nge driver) not recoginzed
I have a Transtec Senyo Machine on which I installed Solaris 10 6/06. It does not recognize the Network.
It has a NVIDIA� Quadro� NVS 210 chip set with NVIDIA� nForce� 430B NIC. The nge module gets not loaded, upon boot, and I have of course nod /dev/nge
Any idea on how to track this down?

Download file http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/nfo-2.6.3.tar.gz, and carefully follow directions in file README.txt.
The instuctions are terse for those new to Solaris, so here's a (unsupported) script to help.
First create file /etc/hostname.nfo0 or (if using NWAM in OpenSolaris) add line "ngo0 dhcp" to /etc/nwam/llp or line "ngo0 192.168.0.2" (where you replace 192.168.0.2 with your IP address).

To find out if your network card is supported, get the PCI id from prtconf -pv
For example, my card is pci10de,ab0 (nVidia MP 79 Ethernet 10/100/1000).
Here's the ngo network driver supported nVidia cards:
MCP pci10de,1c3
MCP-R pci10de,66
nForce 3 150 pci10de,d6
nforce 2 Ultra pci10de,86 pci10de,8c
nForce 3 250Gb pci10de,e6 pci10de,df
CK804 pci10de,56 pci10de,57
MCP04 pci10de,37 pci10de,38
MCP51 pci10de,268 pci10de,269
MCP55 pci10de,372 pci10de,373
MCP61 pci10de,3e5 pci10de,3e6 pci10de,3ee pci10de,3ef
MCP65 pci10de,450 pci10de,451 pci10de,452 pci10de,453
MCP67 pci10de,54c pci10de,54d pci10de,54e pci10de,54f
MCP73 pci10de,7dc pci10de,7dd pci10de,7de pci10de,7df
MCP77 pci10de,760 pci10de,761 pci10de,762 pci10de,763
MCP79 pci10de,ab0 pci10de,ab1 pci10de,ab2 pci10de,ab3
P.S., I believe the Sun-supported driver is nge, but it doesn't recognize my card--maybe it's just older cards that it recognizes. -
Cannot load nvidia driver module [SOLVED]
OK so for some reason I can no longer load the nvidia (proprietary) driver.
I have a laptop with optimus, on board intel and discrete nvidia GTX680M. I use this laptop for cuda development so I don't care about games etc, I just need the driver loaded to debug and run my cuda apps. bbswitch still works fine as does bumblebee which I don't use normally but I do have it setup and running in case. Also I didn't really work much on coding last week so not sure exactly when this started.
So here is what happens when I try to insert the nvidia module or use optirun:
$ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
$ sudo insmod nvidia
insmod: ERROR: could not load module nvidia: No such file or directory

I'm not willing to give up and install/build the drivers from the cuda SDK just yet so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Last edited by tim (2013-10-02 08:20:49)So in simple terms, the fix invovled ensuring the nvidia module is loaded before the bbswitch module. I'm not sure about the necessity of the things that follow but the fix may possibly also require removing bumblebee and possibly requires removing nvidia from repos and building the driver downloaded from nvidia.
This fix could be completely unrelated to the problems I was having with arch but I cannot verify the fix on arch specifically cos I installed every distro under the sun trying to get it all working and I got it to work on a non arch distro.
So... I'm not sure if I should really mark this a solved because I haven't/can't verify it on arch and technically the solution involved changing to another distro but in fact, I know it has absolutely nothing to do with arch since I saw the same behaviour on 3 other distros. If I have time, I will reinstall arch and verify but for the moment, I have a lot of work to catch up on now that I have a working nvidia driver I can actually use for dev
Anyway, what I think is going on is there is some bizarre issue with bbswitch that stops the nvidia driver from being found because on the current distro I have installed, if I have no bbswitch, no bumblebee and no nvidia modules loaded or services running etc. I can modprobe the nvidia driver and all works fine. I can then modprobe the bbswitch driver and that works too. IF I modprobe the bbswitch driver first and then modprobe the nvidia driver, I get this error that says the nvidia module cant be found. The location it prints is in some updates directory whcih is odd too because I installed from nvidia source and never installed updates at all and made sure that there were absolutely no repo nvidia drivers or updates etc.

I cannot find an update for NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Ethernet Driver Version
I am upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and the Upgrade Advisor states that NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Ethernet needs the latest driver.The current driver is 67.8.9.0
I cannot find the uodate on the NVIDIA site! This is the only action the Advisor mentions.

NVIDIA nForce 10/100 mbps Ethernet Updated driver
I am trying to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. I ran the upgrade advisor and it said that I need to download the updated driver for the NVIDIA nForce 10/100 mbps Ethernet 32bit driver to install after the installation. Where do I download it from and wich file do I download.
Hi Marilyn, First things first. Before you upgrade to Windows 7, be sure that you update the BIOS to the latest level. All too often I have people update the operating system only to find out later that the BIOS is causing issues and the HP posted BIOS update will not run with the existing operating system. You need a NVIDIA nFORCE chipset driver and I will post a link to that for you in just a moment. However, don't upgrade your PC until you donwnload the drivers and copy them to external media. This is one of the drivers needed. It's one of the latest nFORCE drivers.

NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller: Windows 7 driver?
I have a Fujitsu Siemens PC, Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit,
which I would like to update (preferably without reinstall) to Windows 7.
When I checked Fujitsu's website and also by mail contact, I only got the response
"Your system is not certified for Windows 7"!
So I ran "Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor", which said that I can upgrade!
The only issue is that it requires an update to the driver for the
"NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller" [current version is 5.1.2600.158],
but Microsoft directs me to THIS site.
Here I search for a suitable driver for my motherboard, which according the tech spec's is
MB MS-7504PV (or MS-7504VP-PV) with chipset NVIDIA nForce 630i,
but no luck there. The MSI Live Update Online plug-in does not find anything on my Mainboard.
Over at NVIDIA's site I can find a driver for nForce 630i but only paired with GeForce 7xxx,
and I don't think I need a complete motherboard driver package.
Where can I find the correct driver?
Or do I dare try a Windows 7 update anyway?
What can go wrong?
PC: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
M-board: Fujitsu Siemens / MSI MB MS-7504PV, muATX, v1.1, Socket 775
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP73PV
BIOS: AMI v3.0S
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
LAN: nForce Realtek RTL8211
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bitYou do not have an MSI Retail Product but a mainboard produced exclusively for the OEM Market. Neither MSI nor this forum provides end-user support for OEM products. That is also why MSI Live Update does not find anything for this particular platform (OEM). You need to contact Fujitsu Siemens for assistance (and this include BIOS Updates and drivers).

Compiled Driver for Nvidia Nforce
Hello,
Does anyone know where we can find a compiled Linux driver for the Nvidia
Nforce ethernet controller. We are trying to image new computers. We
have downloaded the drivers from the Nvidia website, but are unable to
extract/install the files from the file. Is it possible to compile the
driver/file from a computer running Windows?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

[nForce] K7N2G-L w/2003 Server - NVidia chipset & driver question
Hello to all... I didn't want to cross post but was hoping that someone may have some guidance regarding my post in the "retired motherboards" forum... any help would be GREATLY appreciated... thanks in advance
James
PS- I fully listed my configurations in the actual postThanks for the response... I will take the chance and repost my question and my configurations to this forum... thanks
I work for a small company and we have a number of K7N2G-L boards with AMD 2100+ and 512M Corsair TwinX 3200LLPT memory. The boards are brand new and even though I know this isn't the best of solutions, I wish to use them for some 2003 server systems. As you would expect for a server setup I am not overclocking anything. I am also not turning on the modem, sound, parellel port and I may or may not turn on the USB ports but for now they are all off. I will definitely use the onboard video and NIC with the idea that if they ever fail I will have some cards on hand as a back-up. I have included the configurations below for each server but my question is simply:
Which chipset version and individual items should I actually install and which video driver should I install in order to provide the most stability for 2003 Server since their is no actual WHQL 2003 release.
MSI NVidia release ???
Audio driver 4.08 (WHQL) - NO

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. -
How to install tools to build a standard kernel module?
Hello!
I am a long time Fedora user trying to switch over to Arch for the ease of customization.
I am trying to build the hybrid_wl driver for my broadcom wireless card, and the requirements section says I need to have "the proper tools, packages, header files and libraries to build a standard kernel module. This is usually done by installing the kernel developer of kernel source package and caries from distro to distro."
I have never messed around with the kernel in Arch (or Fedora, for that matter) so I really have no clue what a standard module even is. What do I need to install to get this driver working?
Any help is welcome!
Thanks,
Jimthat is in aur.

Hello,
it seems that as of 310.x my GeForce 6150 isn't supported anymore so the latest working driver for me is 304.64-1.
Will there be a legacy branch now? Because everyone with an older GeForce will get the nvidia update via pacman -Syu
and it will install but the PC won't boot into X anymore since it can't load the modul.
Regards,

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 RebeizFor 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.

We are looking for two 80 GB drive modules used in a G5... some questions I hope for assistance:
1. Are all drive modules suited for all XServes, mainly the ones not specifically listed either suited for an Intel or G5 XServe ?
2. Are there compatible drive modules from 3rd party manufacturers ?
While a 80 GB SATA harddisk from Hitachi costs around 50 Euro, Apple charges for the same capacity 220 Euro including the drive enclosure. Anyway, I need the ability to check the SMART status using "Server Monitor"... I got told in a thread before that Apple neither sells the drive enclosures alone nor may non-Apple drives allow displaying their SMART status displayed in Apple tools.Thank you for your reply.
Has that 50 Euro drive been tested and burned in?
You got me. I must confess that it is a common harddrive, not explicitly designed for a server environment. Checking this against Hitachi's website, the model is a Deskstar 7K80.
I shortly looked for a server harddisk from the same manufacturer, an UltraStar costs around 170 Euro, so when adding the value of the drive enclosure, we more or less come to the 220 Euro Apple charges.
Okay, so finally seeing all that trouble, I guess it is more convenient to buy an Apple part; the savings are not worth the needed time for finding a matching harddrive and dealing with the SMART issue (furthermore the fact that I would need to get a drive enclosure).
Each drive has their own parameters for SMART monitoring. Apple cannot
predict what parameters other drive manufacturers have set.
Not sure about, but I assumed that there is a list of standard (or at least widely-accepted) SMART parameters each manufacturer may extend with own specific parameters optionally.
Regarding Apple and SMART I understood that the drive's BIOS has a flag like "I'm from Apple" used by Apple's utilities to show the SMART status. Otherwise, they ignore SMART (little pushing to buy Apple original drives But maybe I'm totally wrong.
Also, consider warranty and support.
Have you an idea if Apple provides an insurance against data loss that ships with the drive ?
Maybe you are looking for
