Hi all,
My test machine has an Nvidia plugin card that I'm using with the free
software nv driver.
I've attached a diff between the Xorg.0.log file booted into the proprietary
BIOS, and into LinuxBIOS (Xorg.diff). These are the most interesting bits
(lines starting with + are LinuxBIOS):
GeForce Go 7900 GTX, Quadro FX 2500M, Quadro FX 1500M, GeForce 6150,
GeForce 6150 LE, GeForce 6100, GeForce Go 6150, GeForce Go 6100
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 02:00:0
+(WW) NV: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:1:3) found
(--) Chipset Unknown NVIDIA chip found
(II) resource ranges after xf86ClaimFixedResources() call:
This PCI:0:1:3 device is new. It didn't exist under the proprietary BIOS, and
is identified as such by lspci:
0000:00:01.3 Co-processor: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 036b (rev a2)
and lspci -n
0000:00:01.3 0b40: 10de:036b (rev a2)
What is this thing? A co-processor?
The other interesting difference is:
(II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
(II) NV(0): Initializing int10
-(II) NV(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000
+(EE) NV(0): V_BIOS address 0x420 out of range
(--) NV(0): Chipset: "Unknown NVIDIA chipset"
(**) NV(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
Not sure if it is related, but there is a 30+ second delay in the X startup
at this point:
(II) Loading sub module "ddc"
(II) LoadModule: "ddc"
(II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libddc.so
(II) NV(0): I2C bus "DDC" initialized.
(II) NV(0): Probing for analog device on output A...
(--) NV(0): ...can't find one
(II) NV(0): Probing for analog device on output B...
(--) NV(0): ...can't find one
(II) NV(0): Probing for EDID on I2C bus A...
(II) NV(0): I2C device "DDC:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0.
...... very long delay .......
(II) NV(0): I2C device "DDC:ddc2" removed.
(--) NV(0): DDC detected a DFP:
(II) NV(0): Manufacturer: SAM Model: 1ae Serial#: 1112683056
Any ideas as to what's going on here?
Hints greatly appreciated, as always.
Thanks,
Ward.
