> [ 24.283] (EE) [drm] failed to open device
Apparently not (yet) supported by nouveau kernel module.
No the problem is that it doesn't load the drm kernel module automagically. If I load that module manually, you can start X11. The hardware is G50 family (NV96) , over two years old and supported. Hm. Maybe it's blacklisted for some reason? Check for a blacklist entry in /etc/modprobe.d. nvidia driver installed before? Is it added to initrd (verify by running 'mkinitrd'). Still waiting for a response for more than two months now. Please reopen once you can provide the requested feedback. Thanks. Same problem here with nvidia 9800M GT There should be at least some "safe vesa / fb" in installer. Either automatically for unsupported cards or by some checkbox. The list of cards supported by nouveau should be known. On nouveau wiki I see in matrix: NV94 (G94) GeForce 9600 (GSO 512, GT, S), 9700M GTS, 9800M GTS So looks like 9800M GT is not supported well for example. oops why this was RESOLVED? I think it should be reopened. Just in short about my hardware: barebone: clevo M570TU (sold as ONE G8300) cpu: INTEL Core2Duo P8600 2x2.40GHz ram: 2x2048 MB DDR3 1066MHz Graphics: nVidia G92 [GeForce 9800M GT] pci-e wlan: intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN, REV=0x74 MB: Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset This concerns 12.2 beta2 You can specify "nomodeset" as boot option to switch to X fbdev driver. Written in our release notes since several releases AFAIK. I fixed the state with: * nomodeset (I do this for every linux release! kms just sucks for me :( ) Here (or and after blacklisting nouveau, don't remember now) I can go to KDE (some default video driver in use) * blacklisting nouveau (anyway this is needed to install nvidia driver) * set NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=yes in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (for nvidia) * install kernel source, kernel devel, base development pattern * installing nvidia driver Here everything is OK It is OK when it is doable, but the procedure above is really long. At least I've set my network (wifi) in ncurses Yast, add some repos, do some update. This isn't something that a normal user could do. Now in 12.2RC1: It runs much better now. nouveau is quite working. I didn't have to go to manual nvidia install as last time in 12.2b2 (where it didn't even went to the post-installation setup due to unable to setup graphics mode). So at least in RC1 it works for my NV 9800M GT But in any case, some kind of 'safe graphics' option would be nice (either in installator, or directly as grub menu entry) openSUSE 12.2 is no longer supported. Hence the issue won't be fixed for this product. In case the issue still is reproducable with a supported product (openSUSE 12.3/13.1 at the moment) or with openSUSE:Factory, please feel free to reopen. Thanks. |
