[SOLVED] No 3D Acceleration on nvidia (nouveau)

I'm having some issues with the 3D acceleration here. I'm trying to get gnome-shell to start but it goes into fallback mode. It appears to be an issue with driver or xorg configuration.
I went through all of the Beginner's guide on the wiki, and from that I did the Gnome 3 guide. Well, actually first I tried to install the nvidia driver but it wasn't compatible (which I later read on arch mainsite under news) so I installed the nouveau driver + nouveau-dri, did the configuration needed and rebooted.
As I finally tried to do startx I got into fallback mode only of gnome3. It says no hardware 3D support is available.
.xinitrc: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/374112/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/374113/
I don't have any xorg.conf at the moment as it said in the beginner's guide it wan't needed. I put the 20-nouveau.conf and all that where it should be.
(Aditionally after I updated the system from a clean arch install and installed xorg and rebooted arch gets stuck on udev on the init script for about 3-4 minutes before going on. Should I try this one?)

My graphics card is a GTX 460, if there's any more info I should provide please let me know. Thanks.

GTX 460 is a nv0 card and looking in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix you'll see that for nv0 you need external firmware
9 - Needs external firmware, which we can't provide yet. See firmware status.
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM#Firmware to see how to extract the firmware.
Why are you not using nvidia driver?

  • SOLVED Blurry/Ghosting LCD with Nvidia-96xx

    Hi all,
    I've spent hours trying to figure this out...  I installed the Nvidia-96xx driver for my Geforce2 MX/MX 400 and everything seems ok in my xorg.conf.  XFCE comes up with the right resolution (1280x1024 Dell 1702fp), but everything is blurry.  When i use the Nvidia X Server Settings application, it looks like everything is running correctly - 1280x1024 @ 60hz.  But this doesn't seem right, because otherwise everything wouldn't look so blurry.  And I do mean everything - fonts, icons, etc.
    So I did a bunch of reading and decided to try xrandr.  Well, that seems like a fairly cool command, but it didn't really solve my problem.  However, it did confirm my suspicions that one of these programs is giving me the wrong information, since the only 1280x1024 resolution it gives me is at a 50* 51 refresh rate.  I tried changing the rate with:
    xrandr -r 60
    It wouldn't let me do it.  It says:
    "Rate not available for this size"
    I'm really kind of puzzled about this, I've tried three different ways of generating xorg.conf files (Xorg -configure, xorgconfig, nvidia-xconfig) and they all give me the right resolution, but the wrong refresh rate.  For some reason linux wants to run things at 50hz...
    I'd post more information up here, but I'm not sure what you would want to see.  I'm pretty sure it's not the xorg.conf...
    Hope you guys can help.

    Thanks for the reply, berbae.
    I've been trying different things with the xorg.conf file, but nothing I do seems to help.  I tried adding in some of the things you had in yours, like the EDID option and now my xorg.conf looks like this:

    I also tried using the gtf output a few times and that didn't work either.  I'm starting to wonder if it's a hardware problem.  Seems kind of subtle for a malfunctioning graphics card though, doesn't it?
    Thanks again

  • [Solved]Xorg 1.6 with nvidia 180.44 2D performance painfully slow

    Hi folks,
    Since the latest upgrade of Xorg and Nvidia all screen refreshes have become visibly very slow. Anything that has to redraw the whole screen takes a full second and my cpu usage jumps to 15%. The wierd thing is that glxgears is getting 200fps and looks perfectly smooth. Direct rendering is enabled and the client and server versions of the driver match. There are no errors in the Xorg.0.log apart from warnings about ACPI
    I am using an Nvidia 6200 in TwinView mode with 2 identical monitors.

  • Black Screen (source and preview) when using GPU acceleration (CUDA) [NVidia GTX 780M]

    Hi guys!
    I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 (Ult) on a machine equipped with NVidia GTX 780M (4 GB VRAM) graphics card. The source and the preview monitors are both black if I select GPU accelerated rendering. There is a yellow bar above the timeline clips, I can hear the sound tracks, but there is no image. If I choose the Software Only rendering (CPU) then I do see the image as well, but the real-time playback and rendering times are awful!
    At first, the application would not allow me to use the GPU acceleration using NVidia’s CUDA processing. Once I entered my video card name in the “cuda_supported_cards.txt” file in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 folder I was able to choose between Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration CUDA.
    I tried downgrading the video card driver to the previous stable version and reinstall Pr – no go. How do I make Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 work with my NVidia GTX 780M video card?
    Your insight is appreciated!
    P.S. I used to work on a different machine equipped with NVidia GTX 670M card (which is also missing from the officially supported Pr CS6 cards list) and I never had any issues of this nature with that laptop.

    Hi there,
    As stated before, I had the same problem. Apparantly the solution for me was to check the Nvidia settings. My setup has both an onboard GPU and a Nvidia GPU (on purpose specifically for video editing and gaming). Normally the system should switch to Nvidia automatically. However, the Nvidia settings for Premiere where set to favor the onboard GPU. After changing this. everything works fine again!
    kind regards. Bart

  • Xorg-config isn't yet, trying nVidia-nouveau, on a desktop machine...

    Ok, I'm newbie on 'Arch', but fairly seasoned on Debian-family (MEPIS,sidux), and on openSUSE.
    Gotta admit, I am really LIKING this low-level installer, as a means to 'test' my Linux knowledge to date.
    But, it's certainly a *slower* way to get KDE-4 running, by having to manually hack on all the individual
    /etc/<yada>/yada.conf files using 'nano', rather than just boot a LiveCD all the way into run-level-5 in
    one fell swoop, run a GUI-based installer, specify a username/password, and be running
    KDE-4 20 minutes later!
    But, I'm not complaining.
    Let's see...where am I?
    Got the basic (run-level-3) system installed to a hard-drive partition, using my existing /home partition.
    [Had one small glitch to get ethernet to DHCP-acquire an IP-addr...had to "hook <some-conf?>", so
    I could add 'nameserver 192.168.0.1' into 'resolv.conf' (or whatever it's name is) and get that to stick.
    So, net-access works.  Was then able to do whatever else that basic-install manual said...told it to
    configure me nVidia-nouveau, by creating the '20-nouveau.conf'.  Rebooted, as directed.  (Several times now.)
    Tried 'Xorg -configure'.  It fails with:
    1:  [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol.
    2: Num created screens does not match num of detected devices.
    EDIT: Oh, did read that I could grab an existing xorg.conf from another distro, but
    that would be cheating, eh?
    That's the one blocking getting to run-level-5.
    I did 'jump ahead' and installed KDE-4, but of course, till I make Xorg happy, that's really not
    gonna do me much good.
    So, in addition to advice on configuring Xorg, one other 'forest-for-the-trees question':
      Is there a higher-level (GUI-based) approach to installing Arch, rather than using 'netinstall'?
    (I did notice that other kit, recommended for 'people with unreliable networks', but that
    didn't sound like me.)
    TIA...
    Last edited by cookdav (2010-12-03 23:11:04)

    I agree with 'some like the control of cmd-line, to achieve non-default settings', but I'd argue that
    doing the installation using a LiveCD like Chakra OUGHT to allow the 'same' choices and flexibility
    that the cmd-line method does.
    However, in my view, the 'cmd-line' approach seemed to leave out actually forcing (guiding the
    user thru a script that causes 'sound' and 'wifi' pre-requisites to actually get installed)!  (The
    'netcfg' package is a prime example.)  Instead, the user follows a written document (e.g. either
    'basic' or 'complete' arch manuals, which mention subjects like 'sound' and 'wifi', but then do
    NOT even detect presence of 'wifi-adapter' or 'sound' hardware, etc.  In other words, if
    ANY wifi-hardware is detected, the 'netcfg' package should get installed, but clearly doesn't.
    Rather, it relies on the person installing to somehow know/determine that they need to
    manually install 'netcfg' (as well as then manually hunt-down their firmware, etc).
    Whereas, the 'Chakra' (GUI) approach at least makes an attempt (e.g. causes 'netcfg' to
    get installed transparently), easing the learning curve.
    That said, the negative of the guided/GUI approach is that the person installing does NOT
    then learn/understand precisely WHAT STEPS got executed for them, and thus learns very
    little of what packages and what config-files need to be examined/modified to carry
    out those various steps.  As I result, while I'm convinced that SUCCESSFUL 'arch' owners/users
    become some of the most knowledgeable users in the details of Linux configuration,
    I'm left wondering just what per-cent of newbies who first TRY Linux via 'arch',
    end up succeeding with it, versus either giving up  on Linux or wandering off to some
    other distro that has a more scripted/automated installer.
    (i.e. an install-script/GUI that tries to get them up-and-running with minimal fuss, and allows them
    to  LATER absorb the details,  via  future updates/maintenance glitches/issues.).
    In other words, after my 5-10 years of Linux experience, I was surprised how much I had to
    struggle, to get a working laptop-with-wifi installation.  In a word, I 'failed' the test that
    arch provided me, and felt I had to resort to Chakra, to meet the other goal of getting
    that laptop up-and-running with sound and wifi and xserver working.  But, maybe that's
    just a reflection of our modern society's push into the "instant-gratification" direction?
    Thanks to ALL who have participated in this thread, for their guidance!  As I mentioned,
    I'm both humbled and more knowledgeable than I was when I started on the 'arch'
    journey, just a few short days ago.
    As I mentioned in the base-post, I came to 'arch' to LEARN something, and to TEST my
    Linux knowledge,and I met those goals.  That said, I found it disconcerting that the manual(s)
    that I read seemed to gloss over such fundamental things as not mentioning the
    need to install 'netcfg' and not-resulting in some flavor of sound-support being put in place.

  • [SOLVED] Could not start x with nouveau

    Hi, i just switched from the nvidia driver to nouveau, but could not get X to start. I am getting an "KMS not enabled" error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. My GPU is Nvidia G105M. I have used the nouveau driver in the past, but there was no kms back then. I have done everything according the nouveau page in arch's wiki.
    Any ideas how to start x?
    Thanks

    You could try loading the KMS early in the boot process, as described in the wiki: "Early KMS Start"
    However, I do not use nvidia/nouveau so this is just a wild guess

  • [SOLVED] stuck at Target Reached Graphical Interface @ Nvidia/Nouveau

    i'm kind of new to linux and specifically to arch, so pls be gentle. i just did a fresh install, all went fine, but here's one thing i'm unable to sort out. i've been having a hard time for a couple of hours now getting the right driver and the necessary configurations for my nvidia card. i went through a number of threads, none provided too much help, so here it is. whenever i try to use the proprietary nvidia drivers, the boot process gets stuck at the
    Target Reached Graphical User Interface
    message. i decided to try nouveau then, so i remove the nvidia packages, delete xorg.conf, install the nouveau packages, create 20-nouveau.conf with the content of
    Section "Device"
            Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
            Driver "nouveau"
    EndSection
    reboot, but it results in the same phenomenon. from this point on i have to delete 20-nouveau.conf to even get to the login screen. there's no nomodeset in the kernel options by the way.
    only the open source vesa drivers seem to work so far. i'm clueless about this one.
    (i'm using external monitor @ DVI for my notebook.)

    ok, if someone reads this, here's what i figured: realised that i didn't need neither xorg.conf, nor 20-nouveau.conf in the first place in order either driver to be utilized by bumbleebee. if you did nvidia-xconfig or manually created xorg.conf and/or 20-nouveau.conf and encountered the same issue described above as a result, just remove it/them. one trivia about bumblebee - maximum gpu performance gained by the primus render bridge.

  • [SOLVED] can't update system because nouveau and nvidia conflicting?

    Hi folks-
    I am trying to update and am getting an error message that I'm not sure how to resolve.

    warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'nvidia-utils'
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: nouveau-dri: requires libgl=9.0
    A little bit aggravating, it kindly removes libgl from the list because of a conflict then fails out because it's required.
    I used nouveau as my graphics driver for a year or two when I first set up this system, but it started giving me weird slowdowns and errors so I tried switching to the proprietary drivers (I know, shame shame) which fixed it. I'm not surprised that they're not compatible, but when I tried to figure out how to remove nouveau I see that it is built into the kernel? I followed the directions as explicitly as possible when installing nvidia so I'm not sure where I went wrong.
    Right now, I can't upgrade and I would really like to avoid the pitfall of just blacklisting nouveau-dri. I'd rather invest the work into actually fixing the problem.
    I would appreciate any advice.

    IIRC since version 1.0.2-2 xf86-video-nouveau depends on nouveau-dri which in turn depends on libgl which conflicts with nvidia because Nvidia provides their own libgl implementation.
    This might help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … au_drivers
    Thank you, that was quite helpful. The script to switch from nouveau to nvidia includes the line to remove the packages libgl, nouveau-dri, and xf86-video-nouveau. I tried running just that line and it failed out because nouveau-dri and libgl aren't actually installed. How irritating! However, I was able to remove xf86-video-nouveau, and after that pacman has gotten past the dependency check and is installing packages so I think this is fixed.
    Big kudos for all the help, marking this solved.

  • Nvidia / Nouveau Failing [SOLVED]

    Using a dual-VGA nVidia Corporation NV17GL [Qaudro NVS] (rev a3) card.
    Followed the instructions in the beginner's guide to install Nouveau drivers, but when I 'startx' I get:

    The log reads:

    Looking like a driver problem!
    Any ideas on how to resolve this?
    Thanks.

    Well, that's the point: you don't need a desktop for this.

  • [Solved]Error after installing new nvidia driver uninstalling nouveau

    Hi,
    On seeing that a new nvidia driver is available, I thought I'll give it a try as the older ones kept crashing/rebooting in kde and gnome.
    I got nvidia and nvidia-utils from pacman. During that there was a conflicting file with libgl, so I had to remove nouveau and then install nvidia. I got an error saying need to unload module from xserver to install and would be possible on reboot or something similar(dont exactly remember the error)
    Then I rebooted and x failed to start with errors ending up with "GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Maximum number of X display failures reached: Check X server log for errors. "
    I tried "sudo modprobe nvidia" and it gave me
    FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6-----/nvidia/nvidia.ko) No such device
    I tried looking up these errors and didnt get any proper answer or solution.
    On my own attempts I saw I had inserted a module called nouveau in mkinitcpio.conf, I removed that but didnt help either. Read at a few forums and arch-wiki to run "nvidia-xconfig". The command creates a xorg.conf in X11. But on reboot nothing happened, same errors. Later I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both xorg and nvidia in hope something was wrong with the xorg which could get reset with a reinstall but that didnt do it
    The new nvidia driver is 275.19
    Config:
    i7 720QM
    8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
    Nvidia GTX 260M 1 GB
    Its a Alienware m15x.

    startx goes to a black screen, Xorg.0.log doesn't report anything unusual (that I noticed). I've been using arch for a few years, but this is my first install on a mac, and my knowledge is rather thin in places, so I apologize if I'm missing something obvious. any help would be appreciated. here's my log. I have nvidia graphics
    btw this is the first time I've ever posted, (although these forums have helped me tremendously over the years)

  • Can't get into my DE anymore after nvidia/nouveau switch + other stuff

    I made a mess of things, and I'd very much like to get my system back into a normal state. Here's a brief history of important events:
    (1) About 2 weeks ago after a system update, I couldn't log into Gnome via GDM anymore (see topic). Thankfully I could still get into Gnome via 'startx', so I stuck with that for a while. Busy time, and no real fix was forthcoming.
    (2) About 4 days ago after a system update, that didn't work anymore either. (Both monitors would just stay black, but with a thick white bar on the left side of the right monitor.)
    (3) I switched from binary nvidia drivers to nouveau, in the hope that that would fix things. It did, sort of. I could use startx again, but my display would now freeze after a short time of use, with many nouveau related errors in dmesg. My bug report to freedesktop.org about this is most comprehensive.
    I really need a functional PC right now. Short of an actual fix, I'd love to just roll back everything to the state it was a month ago or so. But no luck there either.
    (4) I installed the nvidia drivers again, uninstalled the nouveau stuff, set my system to query the Arch Rollback Machine for a month ago, and did a `pacman -Syyuu --force`. GDM still doesn't work, nor does startx. Using startx, I get the following 'Xorg.0.log' (I remember getting the same errors during my earlier messing about):

    can you try with another Display manager like lightdm see if that works ?
    I might try that, though now that I finally have my PC back I have some other work that takes priority for a few days. :-)
    Malkymder wrote:And yes xorg.conf should be replaced with /etc/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf instead
    I'm using `nvidia-xconfig` to generate that file (I haven't had to tinker with it manually for years now).
    The tool generates this 'deprecated' file. Should I just move its exact content to the new location?

  • [SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

    Hello all.  I've been able to resolve a wide variety of problems by searching through the posts here, but it seems I've come up empty on this one.
    I'm running Arch on a Sager NP5160 (Clevo W150HN), i7-2630 QM, 8 GB RAM, running Optimus with an Nvidia GT 540M Optimus setup.
    I've had Bumblebee and bbswitch running fine in the past, but recently I needed to reinstall Arch (my own fault).
    I installed bumblebee and bbswitch again, as described on the wiki. 
    However, once everything is installed and configured, bbswitch is still unable to deactivate my Nvidia card.
    I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver.
    I have verified that bumblebee.conf has the driver set to Nvidia (not nouveau), and uses bbswitch.
    I have also tried blacklisting both nouveau and nvidia, as well as adding bbswitch to the modules section of my mkinitcpio.conf file (and regenerating the initramfs).
    A curious point that I have noted is that the Nvidia card is disabled during boot, and up until I login.
    Once my information loads, the Nvidia card is activated and I cannot deactivate it, even manually.
    Here is the dmesg output when I run glxspheres64 using bumblebee:

    Sorry to bump this, but I've found some more information.
    Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do with it yet.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the relevant packages outlined in the Bumblebee wiki.
    When my laptop boots, the Nvidia card is disabled up until I log in, at which point it appears to be perpetually enabled, unless the Optimus indicator lights are showing incorrectly.
    This is the log output I receive when I run optimus glxspheres64:

  • [Solved] Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module

    Hi all,
    I've just made the jump to arch and have a fresh install. I'm having trouble getting the nvidia drivers to work. I am currently using the nouveau drivers without issue.
    The method I am using - after much trial - is:
    - uninstall nouveau and mesa lib
    - install nvidia package
    - remove nouveau module entry in mkinitcpio.conf
    - run `mkinitcpio -p linux`
    - edit .conf in xorg.conf.d with minimal required settings. Currently:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "device0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    I have installed the linux-headers package and tried reinstalling nvidia again

    The only entry I found in `dmesg | grep nvidia` related to nvidia-drm, and seemed to say it was loaded successfully. I didn't save the exact entry and i've reinstalled nouveau now so that I could post this.
    Any help much appriciated. I've been at this for a while. Learning a lot in the process!

    Success! Several days of trying various things and I finally give in and make a post to this forum. One more attempt - which was only really so that I could add modprobe info to this post - and it works.
    I had at some stage installed the driver xf86-video-nv, and this may have been causing the clash. I un-installed it, and followed the procedure above to reinstall nvidia.
    I think the main hang up I'd had is that I had not been rebuilding my kernel image with mkinitcpio after installing nvidia during my previous attempts.
    I hope some info in here helps some other stuck archer.
    Edit: Thanks graysky. I had found the right nvidia driver using the arch wiki and followed this advice to remove the nouveau hook. Much appriciated.
