NVIDIA 171.06 beta driver issues

coarseSand · 2008-03-28 20:48:24

I just bought my new computer, and Arch is installed after having to alternate to the 2008.03 install disc (which worked perfectly btw). I'm trying to get the 171.06 beta drivers installed since they're the first to officially support the 9600GT that I purchased (I checked that there was at least a beta driver first before considering it). However, I'm now running into problems as the installer doesn't have a kernel interface for it and can't compile one since the current kernel26 is built with gcc 4.2, and the current gcc is 4.3.

As far as I can see, my options are:
1) Somehow downgrade gcc to 4.2 (which I suspect is going to be more trouble than it's worth).
2) Wait for the kernel26 package to go to gcc 4.3, which could take far more time than I have.
3) Learn how to compile my own kernel, which I again really don't have the time for right now.
4) Install Xubuntu (please god no)

Any other suggestions on the matter would be very much appreciated. Largely my fault for being on the bleeding edge without enough knowledge to help myself out. Perhaps compiling the interface with 4.3 won't cause as much of a headache as the installer says it will?

P.S. The nvidia-beta AUR package needs updating to the 171 series.

There's a new kernel in testing. It's built with the new tool chain.

Awesome, I'm getting klibc-kbd errors though:

klibc-kbd: /lib/initcpio/hooks/keymap exists in filesystem
klibc-kbd: /lib/initcpio/install/keymap exists in filesystem

Can I force pacman in this situation safely, or is there another route?

Edit: Subject was already covered here, just add testing/kbd to the pacman install.

Alright, the 171.06 driver compiled and installed quite easily with the testing kernel. Having a fair number of issues getting Xorg up and running though. I do know that the beta driver should be able to function though, as it does a short "Nvidia Beta Driver" splash screen before X goes down. I'm including my current xorg.conf (which is ugly as sin, added some things from the "hwd -x" xonfig to see if it solved anything, mostly font paths and extra modules) and the Xorg.0.log in the hopes that someone can tell me why it keeps crashing. I scanned the log myself and can't find any errors, and both Horizontal and Vertical syncs have been set up to my monitor's specs (LG L226WTY). It's beginning to occur to me that I may need to look for a Windows disc (shudder) until all the drivers for my new equipment are functional, as I even managed to kill the Xubuntu Live CD.

This may or may not have anything what-so-ever to do with your situation, but I found that I had to underclock the memory of my 8800GT card. I was having all sorts of problems before that, and never were there any error log entries anywhere. This was with both the 169.12 and 171.06 drivers (which I'm currently running). My card is a XFX 8800GT. I dropped the memory clock from 900MHGz down to 800MHz, and haven't seen a crash since I did it. Well, actually I went to 850 first which didn't work, then to 800.

That's extremely odd, but may just work since the 9600 and 8800 are basically the same card. My 9600 has the same base memory clock too. Mind explaining to me how to step it down? Being on a notebook the past several years has left me a bit rusty with graphics cards.

My solution is a little different than some, but it does work. First you want to add this line to the "Device" section of xorg.conf:

Option        "Coolbits"    "1"

Then you want to install nvclock. There are versions in both extra and in AUR (cvs). I'm using nvclock-cvs from AUR. With both of these in place, and after restarting X, there will be an option in the nVidia settings utility. These changes will not be persistent from session to session. Some people modified .nvidia-settings-rc in their home directory to make the changes last for each log in, but this didn't work for me. I ended up making a desktop file ~./local/share/applications/nvclock.desktop with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Hidden=false
Name[en_US]=nvclock
NoDisplay=true
Exec=nvclock -m 800
Type=Application
Version=1.0
StartupNotify=false
Name=nvclock
Terminal=false

Then I set E17 to launch it as a start up application. Notice the Exec line.

Unfortunately the 9600 is still entirely too new for nvclock to deal with, which seems to be a recurring trend. That may not have been able to fix the problem anyway though, so I still have no idea why Xorg decides it wants to crash.

Stupid logs, give me an error message that I can go fix!

Okay, this is even weirder. I was messing around with it a bit while I typed out this post on my laptop, typed in startx to give it another go, and it worked. I rebooted to see if I could duplicate it, and if it had something to do with nvclock -m 800 even though nvclock wasn't supposed to be functional. Turns out I was logged into root with su, and I'm now able to reach the X environment as root at all times. Now what is wrong with running it as the user though... it's possible the user account isn't included in a group?

Dirhael · 2008-03-29 00:28:42

Now there are probably a lot of things that could be wrong, but just from taking a quick look at your xorg.conf I notice one thing you should take care of right way: *Never* use the DRI module when using the nvidia driver.

coarseSand · 2008-03-29 00:36:37

Will do that right away, stupid move taking it from the config hwd generated for vesa.

coarseSand · 2008-03-29 01:46:19

Everything is in working order now, just the default X environment won't run. I have Xfce4 running perfectly, soon be moving back to my old xmonad setup.
