[Bug 433171] New: Request for new Nvidia Official RPMS 177.80
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433171 Summary: Request for new Nvidia Official RPMS 177.80 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: deanjo@sasktel.net QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: --- Big change log on this release: Version: 177.80 Operating System: Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Release Date: October 7, 2008 Release Highlights * Added support for the following new GPUs: o GeForce GTX 260 o GeForce GTX 280 o GeForce 9800 GTX+ o GeForce 9800 GT o GeForce 9700M GTS o GeForce 9500 GT o GeForce 8100P o nForce 780a SLI o nForce 750a SLI o Quadro FX 770M o Quadro NVS 160M o Quadro NVS 150M * Improved support for RENDER masks, as well as RENDER repeating modes and transformations, for video memory pixmaps. * Added accelerated support for RENDER convolution filters for video memory pixmaps on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs. * Improved support for RENDER operations with the same source and destination; this should performance in some situations, e.g. when dragging Plasma applets in KDE4. * Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the NVIDIA X driver and OpenGL implementation; this should improve performance with e.g. the KDE4 OpenGL compositing manager. * Added an 'AllowSHMPixmaps' X configuration option, which can be used to prevent applications from using shared memory pixmaps; the latter may cause some optimizations in the NVIDIA X driver to be disabled. * Fixed a text rendering performance regression that affected GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs. * Fixed a regression that caused the 'Auto' SLI X option setting to not enable SLI. * Fixed a bug that caused system hangs when using the NV-CONTROL interface to change GPU clock frequencies. * Added support for DisplayPort display devices (including 30-bit devices). * Resolved various stability problems on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs, as well as some GeForce 6 and 7 PCI-E GPUs. * Fixed a bug that resulted in GPU errors when changing the TwinView display configuration while using Compiz. * Further improved the error recovery paths taken in case of GPU command stream corruption. * Updated mode validation, in cases when no EDID is detected, such that 1024x768 @ 60Hz and 800x600 @ 60Hz are allowed, rather than just 640x480 @ 60Hz. * Removed an old workaround that caused incorrect Xinerama information to be reported after enabling a second TwinView display. * Fixed corruption when using SLI in SFR mode with OpenGL-based composite managers. * Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X driver's XvMC implementation. * Added a workaround for broken EDIDs provided by some Acer AL1512 monitors. * Fixed a bug that caused GLXBadDrawable errors to be generated when running more than one OpenGL application with anti-aliasing enabled on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs, e.g. wine. * Fixed a problem that could result in IRQs being disabled on some multi-GPU SMP configurations. * Worked around cache flushing problems (on some Linux kernels) that caused corruption and stability problems. * Added experimental support for PCI-E MSI. * Fixed a bug that resulted in AGP FW/SBA settings and overrides being applied incorrectly when using the Linux kernel's AGP GART driver. * Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels. * Updated the X driver to consider /sys/class/power_supply when determining the AC power state. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Stefan, even though the list of added sku's is small, many of these devices do predate the 11.0 release.
I seriously doubt this. And if anybody with such a device relies on the proprietary driver he is probably using the beta driver since a longer time now.
As well it fixes many bugs on the other cards that were supported in 11.0 including many GF 8/9 and AMD IGP's. These are long outstanding bugs that have been resolved and directly effect 11.0 users.
Apparently you didn't understand it. The G02 driver package on older openSUSE distributions cannot be used for devices, which were already supported by the G01 driver package on these distributions. There the G02 driver package is only for the small list of 17 devices above. And I don't think the driver supports any IGP's by AMD. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I understand your concern about having redundancy between the G01 and G02 packages but having redundancy is far better then not having support at all. Other distro's are repackaging as we speak. Why this is a issue for opensuse, I do not understand. Having the build service should allow for easy updates for current releases and make people less dependent on having to wait for the next distro point release especially when EOL is 2 years for a product.
If you know how to do a better job here, please go ahead, i.e. 'osc build' such packages local on your machine, provide them via some repo outside of openSUSE (maybe packman?) and add this repository to the Community repos. Do this for the next 10 years. I would be happy to get rid of maintaining these packages for openSUSE. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I must admit I don't fully understand the situation. Novell/openSUSE is supposed to not support binary kernel modules, so nvidia drivers are host on nvidia servers... but then the packages are built by you??
I'm providing specfiles and so on, i.e. package sources.
So, on openSUSE_11.0 x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG02 from X11:Drivers:Video works... but nvidia-gfxG02 doesn't builds. It stars with:
This is complicated. You need to fake 'uname'. I'm afraid this doesn't work with osc build ...
...I'm supposed to report this?
Please don't. I don't understand the problem either.
Anyway it probably should be build against openSUSE:11.0:Update and no openSUSE:11.0.
I don't think, that this helps. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x0622 "GeForce 9600 GT"
This ID is already in the list (pci_ids-177.80). Maybe he's building for 11.0 or older where the G01 package is used for this device and pci_ids-177.80.new is used instead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

thanks for that, it could be that issue indeed. Curious, why is it that the IDs can't be used redundantly for G02 and G01 RPMs if just one is installed on a system? Is there a way for people to roll their own RPM if they so desire this?
Then both packages would be autoselected by YaST and you would run into file conflicts. Not a good idea. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
