To prevent confusion - the attachment is in fact Xorg.0.log , not xorg.conf , so that's what we want. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Hello, thanks for the report! Can you install the RPM available at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/bskeggs/task_1264803/ and see how you go with that? Also, you're card is not currently supported with any form of acceleration in nouveau. We'll need a trace of the binary driver initialising the card to be able to change that. If you get a spare moment, http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace would be useful! setting needinfo, as Ben asked for some info. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I installed the rpm from the link above (using --force to override the newer on from the liveCD). X now starts up with a startx. I traced running startx using these instructions: $ mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug $ echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer $ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt & Start X or whatever. $ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/trace_marker $ echo nop > /debug/tracing/current_tracer attachment is xtrace.txt Created attachment 337726 [details]
startx trace of nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050/nForce 610i (rev a2)
Thanks for testing the RPM, I'll mark this bug as resolves since things now work for you. As for the trace, that'll still be needed for us to do acceleration on your card. For that, you'll need to install the NVIDIA binary driver however and trace that, rather than nouveau. The instructions you listed are mostly correct, however, it's important that you load NVIDIA's kernel module after the "echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer" :) Thanks! Ben. FYI this was my bug however using the rpm from the link does enable me to startx and I am working on the mmiotrace. |
