M6 - Nouveau in use?
by Terje J. Hanssen 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi all, After a default installation of M6 x86_64 on my hp8710w mobile workstation w/Nvidia Quadro FX 3600M, I am wondering if the new Nouveau 3D video driver is enabled and in use? First I tried to verify with cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install | grep Driver Driver "vboxvideo" Driver "vmware" Driver "cirrus" Driver "fbdev" Driver "vesa" I'm somewhat confused if the 'xorg.conf.install' is the same as the previous 'xorg.conf' file? If so, this output caused me to think I had only a basic 2D 'vesa' driver in use. Here is a composed screenshot containing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install, Gnome-display-properties and SaX2: [url=http://bildr.no/view/637765][img]http://bildr.no/thumb/637765.jpeg[/img][/url] Next I tried to verify which display driver was in use with the following commands (from 'another' Nouveau Howto) # lsmod | grep nouveau nouveau 553215 2 ttm 67306 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 33008 1 nouveau drm 221794 4 nouveau,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 6696 1 nouveau button 6989 1 nouveau # glxinfo | grep nouveau OpenGL vendor string: nouveau # glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: Yes # glxgears *** NOTE: Don't use glxgears as a benchmark. OpenGL implementations are not optimized for frame rates >> 60fps, thus these numbers are meaningless when compared between vendors. 4660 frames in 5.0 seconds = 931.982 FPS 4647 frames in 5.0 seconds = 929.273 FPS ....... Do I really have the Nouveau 3D driver enabled? If not, howto set it up - in xorg.conf? Rgds, Terje J.

When tried 4 or 5 days ago, I got an broken system. In the meantime I've reinstalled M4 and upgraded only to Gnome 2.30 Factory. graphics: Is it just on my system, or does also others experience a artifical graphic screen when shutdown from Gnome?
