SMP and SLI ?

Seve · 12-23-05, 12:06 PM

Hi:
I apologize if this has been answered alreay, however I can't seem to find out if the new drivers support enabling SLI on an SMP Kernel ? i am running FC4 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp
I know SLI works on the non-smp kernel, no problems.
Thanks

Seve

there is no reason why it should'nt work.
try it.

@Seve: it's possible that the SMP kernel doesn't parse the PCI topology correctly, please see Appendix W. SLI FrameRendering in the README for details (http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...ppendix-w.html).

Broken http server, tells the client this is a download and hence won't open in the browser.

Works for me, but I've seen reports of this problem before. In any case, the README is installed locally with the driver.

Hi Zander:
Thanks for the response and pointing me in the correct direction. I guess at this point my FC4 Kernel is not correctly reading the pci data. It recocognizes both cards, however in the second test it is not connected.
Guess I will have to wait, unless someone else has any suggestions?

Seems to be working on freebsd now.

The http server worked for me on the other parts of the appendix, too.

There are at least three HTTP server round-robin behind that hostname. It is a safe guess that only one of them screws this up.

Right now I cannot reproduce the error while watching with tcpdump, but from what firefox says the faulty one of these servers delares the mime type of everything to be binary something.
