Hello pro linuxers

im using arch with gnome as DE,

i installed nvidia drivers 325-19
xorg version : X.Org X Server 1.14.2
kernel : 3.10.7
And have a problem, i'am in quadcore(i7 2600k )My cpu usage is constant at 60%/40% for ONE cpu ( xorg is the cause)

First this :

[ 12.446] (**) NVIDIA(0): Using HorizSync/VertRefresh ranges from the EDID for display
[ 12.446] (**) NVIDIA(0): device Samsung SMBX2250 (DFP-1) (Using EDID frequencies
[ 12.446] (**) NVIDIA(0): has been enabled on all display devices.)
[ 12.446] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID for Samsung SMBX2250 (DFP-1) contradicts itself: mode
[ 12.446] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): "1920x1080" is specified in the EDID; however, the EDID's
[ 12.446] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): valid HorizSync range (30.000-81.000 kHz) would exclude
[ 12.446] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): this mode's HorizSync (28.1 kHz); ignoring HorizSync check
[ 12.447] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): for mode "1920x1080".

Tried to manualy set the resolution, the hertz, set default setting in my display, nothing change even disabling vertical sync..

Second :

[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): configuration option may not be set correctly. When the
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI event daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver will
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): try to use it to receive ACPI event notifications. For
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X
[ 12.600] (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README.

i do not have a single clue what ACPI is .. ( google : Medical technology )

Third :

[ 449.347] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Display (Samsung SMBX2250 (DFP-1)) does not support NVIDIA 3D
[ 449.347] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Vision stereo.

What the problem appear ?

Cpu fans are overheating, My gpu is overheating to 90°+

first and third problem spam my xorg log ( i think it make my DE lose his focus )

thanks and really sorry for my engliish

Welcome to Arch.

Generally speaking, one problem per thread. However these are plausibly related. Is this output from X's log file? If you are really having issues, you probably want to provide the whole thing.

(2) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acpi
(3) Is that a problem?

Welcome to Arch.

Thanks ^^

1] Thanks 3] its fixed with 1
2] Acpi appear to be for laptop.. im not a laptop..

i tried all module with modprobe.. all not found
and i tried to compile it : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acpica/
this give me error " command do not exist " when i run pkgbuild..

and xorg take 100% of one of my cpu..

No. ACPI is for desktops too. Unless you have really ancient hardware, I think. You shouldn't need to compile anything normally.

Which modules did you modprobe? I'm confused.

Did you configure nvidia according to the wiki?

WonderWoofy · 2013-08-24 02:53:36

acpid is something that can be used for laptops, but really just listens to interesting udev events and launches scripts in response. So it can really be used for anything. Acpi is a standard called the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and controls low-level device management (read: firmware). So you are using acpi whether you like it or not.

i tried all module with modprobe.. all not found
and i tried to compile it : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acpica/
this give me error " command do not exist " when i run pkgbuild..p

This is not clear at all. What is it you are trying to achieve here, and what does this have to do with Xorg? I don't even know what one would do with acpica, but I really don't know what it is you are doing here. Can you explain your thought process in trying this and what you think it might have done to fix your issue?

You said you installed the nvidia drivers, but did you actually go through the wiki page to make sure you did everything correctly?

Unless you have really ancient hardware,

I'am using 1,5year old based hardware..

this is my xorg conf : http://pastebin.com/Pf7vLg68

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac … ailable.3F

the wiki said i need to modprobe any module i get from the command

ls -l /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/acpi

All command return to " not found "

tried to install acpica : Wiki said " Acpica
Installing Acpica from the AUR may fix suspend-related lockups on some machines. "

And my gnome 3 hang a lot.

The biggest problem is .. xorg is taking 100% of one of my cpu.. the ACPI error didn' come with 319.32. and everything was fine.

I suspect "suspend-related" means wake from sleep etc. Is that when gnome hangs?

Since getting (1) and (3) fixed, have you tried without specifying modules to load? Because it would be very surprising if you needed to specify the acpi modules to load - at least in order to get going. (Maybe there are some special cases where this is needed but not otherwise, I suspect, unless you are very unlucky.)

WonderWoofy · 2013-08-24 03:57:00

There is no acpi module. It is built into the standard Arch kernel. You can turn functionality off from the kernel command line, but there is no module to load.

I think the modules in question use acpi rather than being acpi itself e.g. that page lists thinkpad_acpi etc.
