<0> Hey all. In trying to install the nvidia legacy drivers, they fail at about 100%. I'm getting make errors in the log file, but it's complaining about my kernel headers, which I know to be fine since the non-legacy drivers will install fine. Help?
<1> is there a way to keep 2 different kernels on the same box with their own versions of the nvidia drivers?
<0> *waves back*
<0> I dunno : ) Not easily.
<0> Any chance you know why my install of nvidia legacy drivers is failing?
<1> dirkson, what error are you getting?
<0> Getting the errors " error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory" and "make[3]: *** [/tmp/selfgz14190/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_module_/tmp/selfgz14190/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1/usr/src/nv] Error 2"
<0> And then: "NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
<0> nvidia.ko failed to build!
<0> make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
<0> make: *** [module] Error 2
<0> -> Error.
<0> ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module"
<1> you need to install kernel headers
<0> man_in_shack, They're installed and reinstalled, and the non-legacy nvidia install worked fine
<2> the legacy drivers don't compile with latest kernels
<1> that's not good
<0> Umm... WTF, mate?
<1> how are people meant to use them now?
<2> with 2.6.17 maybe
<0> Seconded. I was under the impression that nvidia was supporting linux.
<0> Lemme go find my kernel version...
<2> or even 18
<1> well it's fair enough that nvidia don't want to go back and update the legacy drivers, but it shouldn't restrict what kernel you're able to use
<2> man_in_shack: when kernel interfaces changes, drivers that don't live in the official tree have to be updated
<2> that's the whole story
<1> just looking at the flash anims on the geforce8 page
<0> Alrighty, my distro has 2.6.19. Let's see if I can't downgrade a point or two. I doubt I'm using anything that a one or two dot downgrade would kill
<1> they sure look nice, but i'd like to see those rendered in realtime in person ;)
<3> Try symlinking include/linux/autoconf.h to include/linux/config.h
<1> hmm
<1> dirkson, what version of the legacy drivers?
<0> 7184
<1> fair enough
<0> aaronp, You think that'll help? *grins* I'll have to remember how to symlink!
<3> ln -s
<3> http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77704&page=2&highlight=config.h
<1> maybe just the page should be updated
<1> instead of just saying "Improved interaction with newer Linux kernels." ... :)
<1> what i like is the latest ia64 drivers are OLDER than the legacy drivers
<3> Of course, that thread was for 1.0-9625, so YMMV.
<2> man_in_shack: and only work with selected AGP quadro boards
<1> heh nice
<1> ia64 didn't last very long
<1> since intel licenced amd64 instruction set :)
<0> brb, testing
<1> good luck!
<0> It works!!
<0> Admittedly, it replaced some fonts with worse ones, but hey
<0> Oh, nevermind, it's not fonts; My monitor is running at a pathetically small 1024x768. Brb, fixing that.
<0> My, that's nicer. I'm curious; how hot do you think an old nvidia should run? I cannot touch this thing...
<4> hi, I am having the FATAL Error inserting module (/lib/modules/blah/nvidia.ko): No such device.
<4> problem, I looked on google but didn't find any resolutions
<4> anyone know how to fix this?
<3> theoco: What does dmesg | tail tell you?
<4> hehe
<4> ty aaronp
<4> It tells me that I have to use the legacy drivers. Thanks
<5> Is there a gui for nvclock
<6> gnome-terminal
<7> Has anyone here used Beryl with an Nvidia 9742 driver?
<8> anyone in here owns a DFI board?
<8> of course, nForce4 powered products always crash when you need them the most, and noone is around to help!
<8> this is what you get for being a loyal customer
<8> anyone at all?!
<9> hello, do the nvidia drivers still support xfree86 ?
<9> i am getting a weird error when attempting to load a freshly compiled nvidia module, nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol strncpy_from_user Unknown symbol strncpy_from_user
<9> any ideas
<9> ?
<10> hum...
<10> are you sure the kernel headers match the current running kernel?
<9> Aghaster, i don't see why they wouldn't
<10> it is possible, if you have different kernels installed
<9> Aghaster, i am running a patched kernel
<10> which kernel?
<9> 2.6.17 with the cks2 patch
<9> i swore i just compiled the nvidia drivers not long ago
<9> havn't changed my kernel since then
<10> ok
<10> I don't know... do you have another kernel to try it on?
<9> it is possible that something could be corrupt tho ...
<9> maybe i'll just recompile real quick and see if that has an effect
<10> I have no idea. maybe trying a vanilla kernel
<10> yeah, recompile and see
<9> hmmm the nvidia driver requires a reboot huh ?
<10> no
<10> I don't think so
<10> you only load the module, that's all
<10> modprobe nvidia
<10> you can try.
<10> wouldn't hurt anyway
<9> yeah i get the error when i try to modprobe it
<9> it compiles fine tho
<9> well i'll try a reboot and see what happens
<9> i've updated a lot of things in the last few days
<9> my main concern was if the nvidia drivers would have an issue with xfree86 4.6.0 ?
<3> SK1000: I don't think anybody's tested it with XFree86 4.6, but it's worth a shot.
<9> thanks
<9> my nvidia module is now compile and loaded, but when i type startx or X it says (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No drivers available.
<9> any ideas ?
<9> sweet i got it
<9> the old driver had files laying around or something
<11> is there an unofficial windoze forum :(
<12> is there a way I can have both CRT output and the TV output working at the same time ? (even if one of the crt and the tv are displaying the same things ?) , or is there a way to switch between the 2nd monitor and the tv while X is running ?
<13> Hello I need some help
<13> Ubuntu 6.10 I have installed nvidia-glx-legacy driver, have the nvidia module loaded (lsmod | grep nvidia), and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf but when I try to run tremulous or type glxinfo in terminal I get Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"., yes Load "glx" is in xorg.conf
<14> hi, i wanted to set up twin view on my laptop, but the wrong (the external) monitor is the main display now
<14> is there any way to change this?
<14> konsole
<14> oh
<14> wrong window
<14> :D
<14> hello?
<15> [16:11] <14> hi, i wanted to set up twin view on my laptop, but the wrong (the external) monitor is the main display now
<15> [16:11] <14> is there any way to change this?
<15> hello?
<16> yes
<15> how?
<16> it's in the readme
<16> i don't know offhand
<16> but what you do
<16> is set the order inthe .conf lcd,crt or so... or there is lcd-1 ... search the doc for 'switched order' or something
<16> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9746/README/index.html
<16> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9746/README/appendix-g.html maybe
<16> ConnectedMonitor
<16> or not
<16> Option "UseDisplayDevice" "string"
<16> When ***igning display devices to X screens, the NVIDIA X driver by default ***igns display devices in the order they are found (looking first at CRTs, then at DFPs, and finally at TVs). This option can be used to override this ***ignment. For example, if both a CRT and a DFP are connected, you could specify:
<16> heh
<14> well
<14> still have a problem with twinview
<14> my laptops monitor is detected as DFP-0, the external one as DFP-1
<14> i tried to fix my previous problem by adding Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0,DFP-1"
<14> but now only the builtin one is initialized, without 3d-rendering
<14> help?!
<14> jetscreamer: help?
<14> i'll try it with "UseDisplayDevice" now
<14> brb
<14> tried it with that now
<14> results are even worse
<14> i can't "leave" the monitor now, which is the only positive change
<14> other changes are:
<14> my laptop's display now uses the resolution the external one should use
<14> oh
<14> the external one isn't initialized
<14> and another positive one: 3d-rendering works again
<15> suxy net
<15> anyway, here again (dunno if i posted that before my pingtimeout):
<15> [16:48] <14> tried it with that now
<15> [16:48] <14> results are even worse
