Description Michał Wernicki 2012-10-25 20:43:01 CEST

In Mageia 1 there was the support for NVIDIA GeForce FX but it didn't make to Mageia 2. Mageia 2 Release Notes provide such information on this topic: "Old drivers from Nvidia are no longer compatible with Xorg." - https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Release_Notes#Proprietary_graphics_cards_drivers . This statement was true at the release of Mageia 2, but soon after that NVIDIA issued new drivers of 173 series.

NVIDIA GeForce FX (5xy0) needs a binary driver of 173 series (later series won't do). The latest release of 173 series (173.14.36) adds support for xserver ABI 13 (xorg-server 1.13) matching Cauldron's xorg-server while earlier ones add support for the previous version xorg-server (I'm not sure but I think it matches xorg-server of Mageia 2).

Comment 3 Michał Wernicki 2012-12-20 21:05:47 CET

I'd like to try nvidia173 driver available through official mirrors, but I experience some difficulties.

Just to mention: I'm using 32-bit version of Mageia 2 (with kernel from package "kernel-desktop" built for i686).

At first I added Nonfree Updates Testing to my installation sources and I've been presented with some packages containing "nvidia173" in their names.
Then I tried using configurator from Mageia Control Center to choose the driver, but for GeForce FX it only allows me to get nouveau driver while for some newer graphic card families it tells the user that there is a proprietary driver and allows choosing. With XFdrake (run as root) I got quite the same result (for GeForce FX - nouveau only).
Finally I thought of trying some kind of manual setup (installing packages and writing "nvidia" as graphics card driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) but I don't know which package(s) to choose: whether "dkms-nvidia173-..." or "nvidia173-kernel-..." or "x11-driver-video-nvidia173...".
Moreover packages with the name beginning with "nvidia173-kernel..." need kernel version 3.4.24 which is available in Core Updates Testing but I prefer my kernel to be from just Core Updates (currently 3.3.8 version). Please write whether this way of manual settings is safe (eg. won't break on updates) or if there are some better options.

I assume that writing it here is a bit offtopic, but I think that some help in this matter could be useful to some other people as well.

Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2012-12-20 21:12:25 CET

Hi,

You first need to install ldetect-lst from Core Updates Testing.

then restart mcc and try to configure your hw again and it should do it correctly...

Comment 5 Michał Wernicki 2012-12-20 23:44:24 CET

Thanks - installing ldetect-lst from Core Updates Testing helped! And now I got working desktop using "nvidia173" :)

Main problem during doing as suggested was that when I enabled Core Updates Testing (but not for updates - the second "tick" was unchecked) every time I tried to install "ldetect-lst" package manager from MCC insisted on updating "rpmdrake" with version from Core Updates Testing :(

The testing goes on...

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-12-26 21:45:32 CET

tmb, should'nt this bug be assigned to the qa too ? (and ldetect)

Comment 7 Thomas Backlund 2012-12-26 22:13:35 CET

Yep, was just about to :)

Advisory:
This update enables nvidia173 and nvidia96xx nonfree drivers as
they now support the x11-server used in mga2:

Testing procedure (needs the actual hw):

1. install ldetect-lst from core/updates_testing
2. go to mcc -> hardware -> configure x server
3. it should now notify that there is a commercial/proprietary
   driver available, answer yes to "do you want to use it"
4. after it's installed, reboot and check that the new
   driver is in use and working...

Comment 9 Michał Wernicki 2013-01-15 18:23:26 CET

I spent some time testing nvidia173 on my computer (Athlon XP(x86-32, w. SSE)/GeForce FX 5700/Mageia 2).

On desktop almost everything looks fine - the most notable quirk was that when hovering a mouse pointer over a checked item in menu (such as the menu available under right mouse button which allows to move a window to another desktop) the check mark disappears (sometimes entirely and on other occasions only partially) and when mouse pointer is moved somewhere else the check mark reappears, but it might be an issue of KDE or pair KDE-this driver (I didn't perform any cross-checks against other drivers or desktop environments).
When trying video playback (some movies encoded with different codecs like Ogg and H.264) I got a "slideshow" with Totem (one frame per few seconds) but with Dragon Player the playback was fluent.
Video shown in Firefox encoded with WebM was also ok (I mean no worse that in other systems but fluent only in some low resolutions).
Trying some 3D demos (hmm... finding a 3D demo using OpenGL 2.0 or 2.1 for linux was the truly most daunting task during my tests) like gluxmark 1.0 or PureOpenGLDemo (I hoped to run LIGHTSMARK but with no success) went quite well.

So to sum up: the nvidia173 driver installed according to aforementioned procedure (by installing proper "ldetect-lst" package and setting up the video card with standard Mageia utilities) allows to boot up, use desktop, video playback and 3D. As for me it works just fine.

If there's anything else worth testing, please post your suggestions.

And just to mention: to boot system with this driver there must be some steps undertaken to prevent nouveau module from doing KMS before the kernel loads binary module (the blob) from NVIDIA. During first boot after installing nvidia173 IIRC the system wasn't able to use display but after a reboot there was a booting option added and since then everything was loading well.

Adding mga2 64 to whiteboard from Michal's testing, thankyou.

Whiteboard: has_procedure, => has_procedure mga2-64-OK

Comment 11 Carolyn Rowse 2013-02-12 16:41:40 CET

Doing lspci on my 32-bit desktop machine shows GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i which is on the above list.  As this is my production machine, I'll have to test in a VM though.

I can't get a display on reboot using "nomodeset", is there something else I should be doing?

You cant test a hardware driver in a vm, it wont be detected. the test must be done on real hw.

Comment 14 Bill Wilkinson 2013-02-12 18:51:06 CET

Tested new ldetect-lst with nvidia geforce go 6150 in x86-64, and geforce 6200 in i586. Neither downloaded the 173 driver per comment 7.

Comment 15 Carolyn Rowse 2013-02-12 19:53:50 CET

That's interesting, I thought that after clicking to use the proprietory driver I didn't notice any confirmation on the screen that it had actually downloaded it, but I assumed it was so quick I'd missed it.

Both had the nonfree testing enabled.

lspcidrake -v shows the following for the 64 bit machine:

I'll copy the lspcidrake for the desktop shortly.

Comment 20 Michał Wernicki 2013-02-25 21:20:53 CET

I'm not familiar with the Whiteboard field (despite of reading https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_whiteboard_keywords) but if mga2-64-OK pertains to my entry it's incorrect. I tested nvidia173 only on 32-bit machine.
I'd also be grateful for explaining whether has_procedure mean that there's the procedure and where can I find it.

Comment 23 Bill Wilkinson 2013-02-25 22:31:49 CET

Claire,

I've done a little investigating and found the following in /usr/share/ldetect-lst/Cards+

NAME NVIDIA GeForce 6100 to GeForce 360
DRIVER nouveau
DRIVER2 nvidia-current
DRIVER2_NO_SSE nvidia96xx
DRIVER2_NEEDS_SSE

So it looks like it's working the way the ldetect-lst is telling it to, but if comment 7 should determine the specific drivers, we'll need to have Thomas modify the ldetect-lst package to make it work.

Comment 24 claire robinson 2013-02-27 13:50:22 CET

Thomas, any thoughts on Bills comment please?

Comment 25 Michał Wernicki 2013-03-02 20:08:11 CET

I feel like it'd be good to make clean some mess I made:
Lightsmark 2008 v2.0 works ok and renders good looking output. It expects libGLEW.so.1.5 in /usr/lib , all other dependencies are listed in the archive in bin/install_dependencies.sh . And with some configurations it needs commandline options like resolution settings.

Comment 26 Anssi Hannula 2013-03-06 20:30:47 CET

As requested by Thomas I've reviewed the ldetect-lst and nvidia changes and they look OK to me.

Regarding Bill's comment, nvidia173 is only expected to be selected on GeForce FX hardware and nvidia96xx is only selected on GeForce 4xxx series and older.

CC: (none) => anssi.hannula

Comment 27 claire robinson 2013-03-08 15:33:07 CET

Anssi, in comment 14 it seems Bill is testing with geforce go 6150 and 6200 so they should be using nvidia173 if the card list in comment 7 is correct.

Comment 28 Anssi Hannula 2013-03-08 15:36:31 CET

Claire, GeForce Go 6150 and 6200 are also supported by nvidia-current, so the older nvidia173 is not used for those cards even if it supports them.

Comment 29 claire robinson 2013-03-08 15:54:24 CET

I see, thanks. Is there a list somewhere of cards which do depend on the older driver?

I fear we will have to validate this one just testing the update installs OK.

Comment 30 Anssi Hannula 2013-03-08 16:03:20 CET

Yes, in comment #26 :)   (except for some Quadro cards)

A more complete list is in

This update enables nvidia173 and nvidia96xx nonfree drivers as
they now support the x11-server used in mga2


Could sysadmin please push from core/nonfree updates testing to core/nonfree updates.

Thanks!

I can't find ldetect-lst or the 96xx driver.  Did the 32 bit vesrions get pushed?  I've edited urpmi.cfg and updated.  

BTW I have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 that won't run on Mageia2 or M3b without the VESA driver.
