1.0-6113 for FreeBSD thread

Yes, K8T800 support is planned for a future driver release.

I get the following message whenever X starts:
"NVRM: Detected agp.ko, aborting NVidia AGP setup!".

I have been unable to get the video out working through the CRT port in my laptop as well. In the last drivers it worked perfectly with a similar (if not the same) configuration in the Xconfig file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "DFP-0:1400x1050,CRT-0:1024x768@1400x1050"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0,CRT-0"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0-120.0"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50.0-120"
EndSection

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 Beta1 (I know I should update but I haven't had time. I've planned to do it once 5.3R comes out).
My computer is a toshiba 5205- s503 satellite laptop, and it has TV-OUT and CRT-OUT ports.
I've also tried to get a Nvidia 2 MX 400 working in a desktop computer but it just turns the screen off when starting X. Am I doing something wrong? is it the Beta?

(BTW I disabled the SMP kernel options because otherwise both machines would freeze when starting X)
:lol2:

Thanks in advance

I tried this driver on another machine, with a GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X and the intel 845G (supposed to be supported by the nvidia driver's internal agp). I think there may be a bug here because I'm seeing this in the sysctl:

kaoru:~:> dmesg | grep nvidia

I don't have agp compiled into the kernel nor do I have agp.ko loaded. The driver also doesn't complain about any trouble initializing the agp. IT just doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hi all!

I have a little problem on my 5.2.1-RELEASE with the lastest drivers on my Toshiba 1410 with NVidia GeForce 420 Go

All works but the screen is a little bit off ...2 cm less at the right border and the low border is out of the screen...
The resolution is 800x600 instead of 1024x768

I haven't find the solution!!!

May you help me please?
Thank you

Anyone knows, if/when support for something like the "windows powermizer" is planned ifor FreeBSD? (I have FreeBSD 5.2, nvidia1.0.6113 and nvidia-settings installed).

All I found so far is that powermizer does clock down the card, and (explicitly/implicitly) puts it in low voltage. So maybe its less a dirver more an application issue. In which case anyone an idea, if something like this exists, or what would need to be done?

resuming:agp 8x sba etc,but:

3153 frames in 5.0 seconds = 630.600 FPS
3109 frames in 5.0 seconds = 621.800 FPS
3165 frames in 5.0 seconds = 633.000 FPS
3175 frames in 5.0 seconds = 635.000 FPS
3150 frames in 5.0 seconds = 630.000 FPS
#

i have no idea why i getting that so bad performance ,(on linux whit the same pc i get around 1800-2000fps)

pd: with the nvidia agp module the performance is equaly bad

Hello, i have problems with getting my GeForce FX 5950 Ultra to work on FreeBSD 5.2.1 and 5.3, when i try to configure my XFree86Config by running the X setup from ./sysinstall i get a black screen and nothing happens except if i press Ctrl+Alt+Del then after a while the computer reboots.I have tried all things i have come over and nothing worked :S

Any one have any suggestions?
I would be so :lol2: if someone could help me, i really want to have my X working....

[gonesurfing]

Try using one of the other configurator programs. xf86cfg is the graphical program that gives some people problems. There is a text based program that will create a config file for you, but I cant remember the name. I'm running xorg and the name is different.

Hi guys, I need help with installing these drivers. I am a bsd n00bie so i am sure this problem is pretty easy to solve for you guys. ;)

Ok, I extracted the drivers, did make install.

But the next time I boot into kde, I get the KDE crash info thingy, which says something like...

kcminit
signal 11
SIGSEGV crashed

and then my system would hang up and I have to do hard reboot.

Any help would be apperciated :)

thx in advance :)

What threading library are you using?
(And what version of the driver?)

The old (4365) driver doesn't work with any threading library but libc_r.

I suggest making a file called /etc/libmap.conf with the following contents.

# /etc/libmap.conf
#
# candidate mapping
#
libpthread.so.1 libc_r.so.5
libpthread.so libc_r.so

libc_r.so.5 libc_r.so.5
libc_r.so libc_r.so

[Shion Uzuki]

Hi darius, thx for the reply :)

I have no idea what thread library i was using, and I am trying to use the 61.13 drivers. Is there anyway i can check?

Here is the backtrace:



(no debug symbols found)...(no debug symbols found) --> many lines

[switching to Process 580, Thread 1]

The crash dialog box said:

Hmm you could try
ldd /usr/local/bin/konqueror

and look for libpthread, libc_r or libthr.
Try the libmap.conf thing and see if that fixes it too..

[Shion Uzuki]

wow, thx for the fast reply :)

sorry for my ignorant, but when i typed ldd /usr/local/bin/konqueror, it gave me a bunch of libraries, it went off the screen. is there a way to check it?

tried the libmap.conf thing and didn't work either :(

[darius]

Uhh, I meant for you to actually read them and find out :-/

You can pipe it to less like so..
ldd /usr/local/bin/konqueror | less

[Shion Uzuki]

ya, the | less thing is want i wanna know, thx :)

will be back in a minute or two :)

[Shion Uzuki]

ok, i did ldd /usr/local/bin/konqueror | less

I can see


lib_c

/usr/lib/libc_r.so.5


hmm.. should post my specs..

Asus P4T533-C
P4 1.8@2.4
Asus V9520 Video Suite (FX 5200, Dual DVI)
512MB RDRAM
LG 12x dual layer dvd writer
Maxtor 40GB
FreeBSD 5.2.1
ForceWare 61.13 for BSD

i know this i am being n00bie, but please bear with me, I really wanna get this to work :)

[darius]

OK, you're using the libc_r.

First I suggest you try disabling ACPI, then trying the various NvAGP options in your X config file (read the docs that come with the driver for more info).

If that doesn't work, then try the 4365 drivers - they work for me (and I have the laptop version of the FX5200)

[Ilkorin]

I have just finished installing everything i wanted on FreeBSD 5.3RC2 and thought i was finished....but no i wasn't :S

When i try to start a program ,even a simple program like glxgears, i get an error about /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.2" not found, required by "libGL.so.1"

anyone know what to do?!??!?

[darius]

if it can't find libm.so then something screwy is going on...

I suspect you ran ldconfig with the wrong arguments. How did you install the driver?

Try..
ldconfig /lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib

and you should be OK.

[Ilkorin]

I used the ports version, make install clean with no arguments

[darius]

How.. strange.
Did the ldconfig help?

Failing that a reboot should :)

[Ilkorin]

i did ldconfig to all of those libs and a reboot and i still get that message :S

[darius]

Does the ldconfig command fix your problem?

If it does, but rebooting breaks it, then I'd say something in your setup is hosed.

When things don't work, what does ldconfig -r say?

[Ilkorin]

I got it working

i did some googling on libm.so.2 and found out that in FreeBSD 5.3 that library has change to libm.so.3 ...
so by adding
libm.so.2 libm.so.3

to /etc/libmap.conf it now works great with over 10000 fps in glxgears :lol2:
