Description Bob Bugzilla 2017-03-21 16:28:29 UTC
Description of problem:

Intel Haswell controller (HD 4600) which feeds 3D rendering to a back-end nVidia chip (GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M]).

The nvidia chip used to be listed as a provider under xrandrx and available for Source Offload.  It is not longer listed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# inxi -Fzx
System:    Host: xyzzy Kernel: 4.9.14-200.fc25.x86_64 x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 6.3.1)
           Desktop: Cinnamon 3.2.8 (Gtk 3.22.10) Distro: Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)
CPU:       Quad core Intel Core i7-4712HQ
Graphics:  Card-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0
           Card-2: NVIDIA GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M] bus-ID: 02:00.0
           Display Server: X.org 1.19.1 drivers: nouveau,intel (unloaded: modesetting,fbdev,vesa)

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 25
2. Apply all updates
3. Get crappy graphics performance

Actual results:
# xrandr --listproviders 
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x48 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

Expected results:
# xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
 Provider 0: id: 0x89 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 1 name:Intel
 Provider 1: id: 0x5f cap: 0x5, Source Output,            Source Offload crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 1 name:nouveau

Additional info:
Benchmark test: export vblank_mode=0; glxgears
Used to get 12,000 FPS.
Now get 1,000 FPS.

Hi,

Can you please do (directly after boot):

dmesg > dmesg.log

And then attach dmesg.log here ?

Also please attach a recent Xorg.0.log here, likely you will find it in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log .

Regards,

Hans

For some reason nouveau does not seem to load at all, do you perhaps have a *.conf file in /lib/modprobe.d or /etc/modprobe.d leftover from an nvidia driver install which contains "blacklist nouveau" ?  Also try regenerating your initrd.

Can you do "lsmod | grep nouveau" and see if it outputs anything ? If not try explicitly loading nouveau with: "modprobe nouveau"

Thanks for looking into this, Hans!

Do you mean regenerate initramfs (with dracut)?

nouveau is not loaded (output below).
If I load nouveau before starting x, no difference. (Will test again).

How else can I help?

I guess the nvidia hardware not showing in dmesg means that it is not found at boot.  That seems like the biggest clue.

I have tried loading the nouveau module before starting x (gdm), no change in the Xorg.0.log output.
