Is OpenGl work with nv driver

jpv · February 7, 2005, 4:19am

Hello,

I have a gentoo distrib.
I use kernel 2.6.8 with xorg and a nv driver (for a riva TNT2 64Mbytes nvidia graphical board). it works perfectly.
i try to move from nv to nvidia-glx (1.0.6629-r4) to have opengl working. Opengl is now working but i have many problems.

Clearness of the Characters are very bad compared to nv driver (bluring/bold characters)
problem with windows display, as if there were some transparency badly managed.
Lot of CPU consumption compared to nv slower display of web pages and around 90% CPU for a DVD movie instead of 20% with nv driver.

I am not sur that the nvidia drivers supports my graphical board with xorg and 2.6.8.

Am i wrong ?
Is there any setup/configuration tricks ?
Is there any way to have openGL working with nv driver without using nvidia ?

Any help is welcome
JP

Make sure that you have installed both the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel modules and also that opengl-update is installed. Verify that you have updated your xorg.conf correctly according to the README file that comes with the nvidia driver or go to http://www.nvidia.com under download drivers and read the README online. You must change the driver from nv to nvidia. You must make sure there is a Load GLX and must remove Load GLCore and Load DRI from the xorg.conf.

Also, use opengl-update to switch from X11R6 libraries and headers to the nvidia libs and headers. Use the --help option to see what parameters to pass to do this.

Hope that helps. If not post your xorg.conf

I think I did what you advice to me :

> nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel same version ->OK
> opengl-update is installed :-> Yes opengl-update-2.0_pre4-r1
>Load GLX and must remove Load GLCore and Load DRI from the xorg.conf -> YES

use opengl-update to switch from X11R6 libraries and headers -> YES

Hope that helps. If not post your xorg.conf

Thanks for your help

Section “ServerFlags”

Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is

received. This may leave the console in an unusable state, but may

provide a better stack trace in the core dump to aid in debugging

Option “NoTrapSignals”

Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence

(where n is 1 through 12). This allows clients to receive these key

events.

Option “DontVTSwitch”

Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><BS> server abort sequence

This allows clients to receive this key event.

Option “DontZap”

Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> mode switching

sequences. This allows clients to receive these key events.

Option “Dont Zoom”

Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With

it the client can still run and fetch card and monitor attributes,

but it will not be allowed to change them. If it tries it will

receive a protocol error.

Option “DisableVidModeExtension”

Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.

Option “AllowNonLocalXvidtune”

Uncomment this to disable dynamically modifying the input device

(mouse and keyboard) settings.

Option “DisableModInDev”

Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local client to

change the keyboard or mouse settings (currently only xset).

For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to “Standard”).

When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),

uncomment the following line.

Option “Protocol” “Xqueue”

Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"

Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

Option “Xleds” “1 2 3”

Option “LeftAlt” “Meta”

Option “RightAlt” “ModeShift”

To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.

keyboard, you will probably want to use:

Option “XkbModel” “pc102”

If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

Option “XkbModel” “microsoft”

Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.

For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

Option “XkbLayout” “de”

or:

Option “XkbLayout” “de”

Option “XkbVariant” “nodeadkeys”

If you’d like to switch the positions of your capslock and

control keys, use:

Option “XkbOptions” “ctrl:swapcaps”

These are the default XKB settings for Xorg

Option “XkbRules” “xorg”

Option “XkbModel” “pc101”

The chipset line is optional in most cases. It can be used to override

the driver’s chipset detection, and should not normally be specified.

Chipset “generic”

The Driver line must be present. When using run-time loadable driver

modules, this line instructs the server to load the specified driver

module. Even when not using loadable driver modules, this line

indicates which driver should interpret the information in this section.

Driver     "vga"
The BusID line is used to specify which of possibly multiple devices

this section is intended for. When this line isn’t present, a device

section can only match up with the primary video device. For PCI

devices a line like the following could be used. This line should not

normally be included unless there is more than one video device

intalled.

ServerLayout sections.

**********************************************************************

Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present. Each describes

the way multiple screens are organised. A specific ServerLayout

section may be specified from the X server command line with the

“-layout” option. In the absence of this, the first section is used.

When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section

is used alone.

Section “ServerLayout”

The Identifier line must be present

Identifier  "Simple Layout"
Option  "BlankTime"  "15"  # L'écran devient noir après 5 minutes. (Mais il n'est pas vraiment arrêté.)
Option  "StandbyTime"  "17"  # Met l'écran en pause après 10 minutes (utilise DPMS).
Option  "SuspendTime"  "20"  # Suspend l'écran après 20 minutes.
Option  "OffTime"  "25"  # Extinction complète après 30 minutes.

Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally

the relative position of other screens. The four names after

primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right

of the primary screen. In this example, screen 2 is located to the

right of screen 1.

Screen "Screen 1"

Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and

optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be

used. Those options include “CorePointer”, “CoreKeyboard” and

“SendCoreEvents”.

I wonder if you could post the output of ‘glxinfo’ and ‘lsmod’ from your system.

jpv · February 8, 2005, 9:18am

Yes , no problem, find hereafter
Just to precise that the issues i have with nvidia driver is not with opengl but with the display of all windows. There seems to have some “overlapping” between windows et “windows refresh” issues.

So lsmod

What is ‘opengl-update’ intended for ? I personally never used that, and I don’t know what it is.

Often, switching from a driver to another produce different results. That might not tell your system doesn’t support those drivers.

But the fact that your cpu consumtion is very high make me dubitative. Did you well erase all old Mesa gl libraries ? I recently tried to have both on my system, and many applications prefered using Mesa instead of the nv gl, so ensure you have only one version of gl (/usr/lib/libGL.* and /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.). also check for libGL.la that they point the directory to the good location.

Another thing: with newer nv drivers you don’t have drivers for kernel or glx separately. You have only one package that does both. Also ensure that you use the headers providen with nv gl drivers.

Now, I always say the same thing, but what gives you cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/agp/status ?

Hope this helps.
