Description Marco Somoza 2009-03-26 11:09:59 UTC
The X initialization fails with the Nouveau driver.

I just see lines in text mode with the message:

[drm]nouveuan_fifo_free:freeing_fifo_1

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2009-03-27 20:41:34 UTC
Can you do anything at that point?

Can you boot to runlevel 3 (instructions in the X restart test case) and run 'startx' and see if that gets any more useful information?

Can you try the KMS test case and see if it works in that situation? One guy found it worked *with* KMS but not without on his system - which is unusual, but it'd be worth testing here.

thanks!

Comment 2 Marco Somoza 2009-03-28 01:54:08 UTC
I've done both tests and the result is:

Test 1-runlevel 3 and run startx:

I get the following message:

NOUVEAU(0): 1411 : no valid modes
screens(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
Fatal server error: no screens found.

Test 2-KMS test

It works! and detects my monitor LG 1680x1050.


If I can help please just ask, and thank you for the good work.

Marco

Comment 3 Ben Skeggs 2009-03-29 22:31:43 UTC
Hey there!  Can I get your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from after starting X has failed without kms?  I have an idea what's wrong here, but want to confirm.

Thanks!

Comment 7 Ben Skeggs 2009-03-31 01:16:17 UTC
Thanks Marco.  Could you also attach /var/run/nv*.rom after you've tried to run nouveau?

Comment 8 Ben Skeggs 2009-04-03 04:25:42 UTC
I took a bit of a guess at what's wrong here, but can't be certain as I never got a VBIOS image to look at...  Do things work better with xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-21.20090403git11be9a9.fc11 ?

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2009-04-17 21:20:51 UTC
Any update, Marco?

Comment 10 Marco Somoza 2009-04-20 02:58:13 UTC
First of all sorry for the delay!
I had to move to a new house. :)

I have tested F11 Beta and:

1-Normal boot fails and the box freeze.

2-booting with nouveau.modset=1 works AND I will attach the file
  /var/run/nv84_0402.rom

regards
Marco

Comment 12 Ben Skeggs 2009-04-20 03:16:26 UTC
What version of xorg-x11-drv-nouveau did you test with?  The fixes I was thinking of are in -21.

Thanks!

Comment 13 Marco Somoza 2009-04-21 19:49:08 UTC
I tested with F11 Live Beta x86_64.

I can test other version, just guide me, please. :)

Thank you
Marco

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2009-04-21 20:27:47 UTC
we need to know what version of nouveau is on there - we don't know that offhand. 'rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nouveau' from that live CD should tell you.

Comment 16 Adam Williamson 2009-04-21 22:28:00 UTC

Comment 17 Marco Somoza 2009-04-23 22:28:01 UTC
well, I did a new test with fedora 11 live snapshot CD x86_64, date 04/10/09.

rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nouveau outputs:

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-25.20090408gitd8545e6.fc11.x86_64.

unfortunately same error.

I'll attach the Xorg.0.log

Thanks
Marco

Comment 19 Ben Skeggs 2009-05-04 03:34:31 UTC
Are you able to do a kms boot into runlevel 3 with nouveau.debug=1 on the commandline, and attach the output of "dmesg" for me?  Thanks!

Comment 20 Marco Somoza 2009-05-06 04:08:10 UTC
Yes, I did the test and that's what happened:

I booted the last F11 preview with:

1-   kernel parameters 3 and nouveau.debug=1

2-   logged as root

3-   dmesg > dmesg1.txt

4-   startx (IT WORKED AND gnome performed well)

5-   dmesg > dmesg2.txt


If you need any further information, just ask!

Thank you
Marco

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Great, thanks for the report! Closing the bug, then.
