I'm also experiencing this. I've touched this bug when reporting an issue on KDE screensaver, see bug #923885. (In reply to comment #3) > [ 10303.576] (EE) NOUVEAU(1): [drm] failed to set drm interface version. > [ 10303.576] (EE) NOUVEAU(1): [drm] error opening the drm > [ 10303.576] (EE) NOUVEAU(1): 819: > [ 10303.577] (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau" This happens on my Mac Mini 3,1 booted in EFI mode with kernel-3.8.4-202.fc18.x86_64 and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.6-4.fc18.x86_64. It has an NV50 card. Everything seems to work okay on the kernel side, except for these three errors: Mar 29 12:31:07 localhost kernel: nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:02:00.0] CACHE_ERROR - Ch 127/5 Mthd 0x1ffc Data 0xfffffef7 Mar 29 12:31:07 localhost kernel: nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:02:00.0] CACHE_ERROR - Ch 127/1 Mthd 0x0154 Data 0x80010000 Mar 29 12:31:07 localhost kernel: nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:02:00.0] CACHE_ERROR - Ch 127/7 Mthd 0x1ffc Data 0xfffffffe and some occasional display corruption on the console. But X fails to start. Ben, Dave, I can bring it in to the office one day if you want to poke it in person :-) This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The independent screens works in F19 with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.4-3.fc19.x86_64 and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.9-1.fc19.x86_64 again. |
Created attachment 682472 [details] xorg.conf for two-screen set-up I've been using in F17 independent screens on my dual-head NVIDIA Corporation G96 [Quadro FX 380] card: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection [etc.] However it does not work in F18 anymore. Xorg loads configuration correctly, but reports failure between dri to drm, thus unloads dri and continues with dri2 which will find only first head DVI-I-1. If I change ServerLayout to one-screen configuration: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection xorg will detect both heads correctly. I have xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.1-4.fc18.x86_64 and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.6-1.fc18.x86_64.
