[opensuse-factory] GeForce 8600 GT-all outputs disconnected in 12.1M3
This card has two external DVI ports. It may or may not have internal connectors for VGA output, but even if it does, I have nothing to connect them to. The motherboard has one i915G video port, which the BIOS treats as non-existent due to the presence of the 8600 GT PCIe card. Xorg.0.log claims there is VGA1 & VGA2 as well as DVI0 and DVI1. With no xorg.conf file, X works using nv driver, but stuck at 96 DPI. When I try to use an xorg.conf file, copied from a different (11.4) system with onboard Intel video and a Radeon PCIe card, (edited from radeon driver to nv driver in 'Section "Device"') so as to customize DPI, X always fails to start. My last try used http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-nv-gx28b-all-outputs-disconnect... and produced http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-gx28b-nv-all-outputs-disconnec... which reports all output ports as disconnected. Other editions of xorg.conf just produce other types of errors, like no device found or no screens with usable configuration. Can anyone see what it will take to fix this problem? Or is this just an Xorg/NV bug in Factory? I don't have this problem using ordinary onboard Intel video on other systems, and this dual DVI-only is the only recent NV chip gfxcard I have. I tried booting using a DVI to VGA adapter. That only works until X starts. The screen blanks and the OS hard locks starting runlevel 5.

"Fully functional...since the day I installed them" even when used with FOSS drivers? IOW, you say they work with proprietary drives. Fine, maybe a useful data point, but I don't care how or even if proprietary stuff works. My #1 goal here is to ensure FOSS drivers are working by the time 12.1GM is released. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

It is just that you have time, hardware and interest to play with FOSS drivers, and people like Sid and me not, but as you said working proprietary solution has some relevancy. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Back when the only 3D solution was the NVidia driver, I got a great deal of help from NVidia and in return I test their driver against upcoming kernel releases so they can keep them current. I do use the open source drivers on a radeon laptop and nouveau on one PC, so I have a foot in both camps. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Is it plugged into a motherboard that has onboard Intel video with only VGA out, as mine is? Mine works fine in 11.4, as does M3 if I remove the NV card and use the 15 pin onboard Intel connection: $ grep openSUSE /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 12.1 Milestone 3 (i586) $ head -n7 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 1525.977] X.Org X Server 1.9.3 Release Date: 2010-12-13 [ 1525.977] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 1525.977] Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX [ 1525.977] Current Operating System: Linux gx28b 3.0.0-rc6-2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 6 22:58:01 UTC 2011 (56e99da) i686 [ 1525.977] Kernel command line: root=LABEL=08linux2 ipv6.disable=1 noresume splash=verbose video=1280x1024 3 $ grep Output /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 1526.561] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section [ 1526.673] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 connected [ 1526.673] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 using initial mode 1600x1200 $ grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf | grep DisplaySize DisplaySize 270 216 # 120 DPI @ 1280x1024 $ grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep DisplaySize grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory $ xdpyinfo | grep dime dimensions: 1600x1200 pixels (423x317 millimeters) $ xdpyinfo | grep ution resolution: 96x96 dots per inch $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA1 connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 396mm x 297mm 1600x1200 85.0*+ 85.0* 75.0 70.0 65.0 60.0 2048x1536 60.0 1920x1440 75.0 60.0 1856x1392 75.0 75.0 60.0 60.0 1792x1344 75.0 60.0 60.0 1920x1200 84.9 74.9 59.9 1680x1050 84.9 74.9 60.0 1400x1050 85.0 74.9 74.8 60.0 60.0 1280x1024 85.0 75.0 60.0 1440x900 84.8 75.0 59.9 1280x960 85.0 60.0 1360x768 60.0 1280x800 84.9 74.9 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1280x768 84.8 74.9 59.9 1024x768 85.0 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0 43.5 1024x768i 43.5 832x624 74.6 800x600 85.1 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 848x480 60.0 640x480 85.0 75.0 72.8 72.8 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x400 85.0 87.8 85.0 70.1 640x400 85.1 640x350 85.1 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Turns out the problem described in subject is a function of attempting to get X to function with KMS disabled. Since KMS works with nouveau in 11.4 & Fedora 15, it should work in 12.1 as well, but doesn't: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706305 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
