Hello,

Since aptosid kernel has no nouveau or nv drivers (not very nice btw), I'm trying to compile nouveau by myself. But still without success:

Code:

nouveau/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drv.c: In function ‘nouveau_pci_suspend’:

nouveau/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drv.c:237: error: implicit declaration of function ‘console_lock’

nouveau/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drv.c:239: error: implicit declaration of function ‘console_unlock’

Do you have any idea how can I make this to compile? I need nouveau or nv to make my portable debian able to boot on any intel, nvidia or ati hardware. So, I need xorg to have no xorg.conf and I can't use driver from nvidia.com

Any ideas?

no idea on the compiling.
but there is nothing we can do about both being unusable. nv will probably stay in coma forever. nouveau will stabilize until it is usable with aptosid/unstable. right now its not as it would break on most every kernel upgrade.

No, vesa is not a solution. Vesa even does not support 16:9 or 16:10 screen resolutions :/ while nv or nouveau does...

So what I can try:
- use nv or nouveau
- integrate original nvidia drivers with xorg to make it to work without xorg.conf - this propably would the best solution but seems to be impossible or very difficult

Maybe there is any way to compile nv with your kernel?

What?
Have you ever had a look in our manual?
There is nothing difficult!

Sorry, I'm not much familiar with aptosid. I'm actually debian user. Can you please post any link?

And finally - do you mean real xorg integration (same way as nv, intel, nouveau does) when xorg chooses driver by itself or some script (I can remeber something like this was present on sidux live cd, but not for drivers from nvidia.com)?

Recent Xserver needs a stanza in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf, as you can read in our manual!
And no, i will not post the link, since the link to our manual is on the frontpage of aptosid.com.

Ok, I've read this manual. But I have a question (and no, there is no answer in manual). Is this necessary to use nvidia-glx from repo?

I've tried this with drivers downloaded and installed using nvidia's installer script, but of course without creating xorg.conf (I answered to not create xorg.conf when installer asked).

After creating 20-nvidia.conf it works fine with nvidia hardware. But it seems that xorg always loads nvidia glx extension, even if no nvidia hardware present.

So, when I boot system (for example) on my intel laptop, xorg still tries to load nvidia drivers. It fails and no driver loaded and xorg fails to start.

After creating similar 20-intel.conf:
- still xorg tries to load nvidia driver - it fails
- then, xorg tries to load intel driver. Driver will load, but without 3D acceleration (for example, compiz will not work).

Sorry, but I still can't figure it out. Should I create 20-x files for each graphic card or for nvidia only? I've also tried to add other sections to 20-intel.conf file but they seems to be ignored.

If using nvidia-glx from repo (instead of original nvidia drivers) can solve this problems, I use it. But if not, I preffer driver from nvidia.com

I don't understand, what you mean!
On non-nvidia hardware there will never ever loaded nvidia-glx!

I'm afraid this is not true. Look at this log (Xorg.0.log):

This is from my laptop with intel card and as you can see, xorg tries to load nvidia and nvidia only! Intel drivers are not loaded at all.

Everything is done as described in your manual except one thing: there is ORIGINAL nvidia driver installed (downloaded from nvidia.com), not nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel from your repo. I have no idea if this make any different?

And, as I said before: I've also tried to create similar 20-intel.conf, replacing "nvidia" to "intel". But in this case: still nvidia tries to load, it fails and then intel is loading but the result is: no 3D acceleration with intel (I have no log but I can provide one if you wish).

So, maybe I should ask: what shoulud I put to 20-intel.conf to make everything work? Or, if you have any idea, please tell me... If I've ommited something, please tell me what is this?

Are you crazy?
Why you install nvidia drivers on intel hardware?
I'm out here, this must understand no one.

Ok, I'll explain this in detail. I have external usb disk with debian installed on it. I can succesfully boot system from this disk on almost any computer.
There is only one problem - graphic card drivers. Everything is ok when INTERNAL xorg drivers are used - in that case if there is no xorg.conf present, xorg detects by itself which driver to use (intel, vmware and many others tested).

But what about nvidia drivers? I hope you understand now: I want to have nvidia drivers intalled, but they should be loaded only when booting on nvidia hardware.

Summary: xorg is able to detect any hardware and load appropriate drivers. So, I wanto to make xorg to load installed nvidia drivers if nvidia card detected and intel drivers when nvidia card is detected.

How do you think, this is possible or not?

No, that is not possible, sice the nvidia-driver replaceing libglx.so with it's own version.
But hey, the recent aptosid-kernel has nouveau in, so no binary blob needed.

"does not work" is not an error message!
And this all can't work, if there was nvidia installed from script and not removed proper!
