Description William Simon Lewis 2007-09-16 08:01:30 UTC
With NVidia GeForce 2 MX-400 graphic card, after intalling NVidia driver version 9.631 (or 9.639), running sax2 and rebooting computer, 3D-acceleration is not activated.

With openSUSE 10.2, same graphic card and diver, 3D-accelaration is activated and fuctions perfectly. I can have shading, 3D-Wurfel desktop and there is a signifacnt performance boost when using openSUSE 10.2.

What is stopping openSUSE 10.3 from using 3D-accelration with this graphic card and driver combination?

Thanks, Simon Lewis
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-16 08:31:49 UTC
whatever it is, it's no blocker. 10.2 had a different xorg version, so it's not unlikely the driver is not adapted
Comment 2 Marcus Schaefer 2007-09-17 07:55:49 UTC
as soon as the binary nvidia driver is installed correctly 3D is always
on. The driver activates it without any configuration. To deactivated 3D
one need to uninstall the driver :)

Anyway it's for sure not a configuration problem

Stefan, could you check the driver issue ?

Thanks
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2007-09-17 08:21:07 UTC
How did you install the driver? Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Thanks.
Comment 4 Forgotten User hF2Xo_CmFP 2007-09-20 16:02:07 UTC
I have the same problem with my geforce 6200 card, the nvidia compile is no problem, but when starting sax2 and choose "change configuration", it says "no 3D chip support found". That is not correct of course.
Now i have only 2D.

3Ddiag looks like this;

3Ddiag version 0.740
Verifying 3D configuration:
Using 3dinfo

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2007-09-20 16:13:49 UTC
I can't see any real problem here. Just the RPMs for openSUSE 10.3 do not exist yet. Therefore SaX2/3dinfo does not know about the 3D capability yet. This is just a duplicate.

Comment 9 Forgotten User hF2Xo_CmFP 2007-09-20 16:23:32 UTC
Oke, thanks, i just have to wait for the RPM drivers.....
Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2007-09-20 16:29:08 UTC
Not really, everything works fine according to your X logfile. Just some misleading information you get from 3dinfo/SaX2, when the driver is installed manually.
Comment 11 Forgotten User hF2Xo_CmFP 2007-09-20 16:37:57 UTC
I understand it....
The 3d screensaver looks fine :)

Thanks Stefan.

If I may add again -
On suse 10.3 beta2 Nvidia drivers worked,
and on suse 10.3 beta3 stopped working.

I will try again with 10.3 RC1 and the new Nvidia 100.14.19,
which came out on Sep 18, and file another bug report if it won't work.

Please don't deliver a product with broken nvidia support.
Having to download it separately is more than enough
tourture for our customers.

If you don't care about thrid party applications, think about
your internal development efforts - why did Novel invest in Compiz
develpment, if it won't work on 10.3?

Also, in my opinion, the status of nvidia related bugs should
be Wontfix, not Resolved. As nothing has been done and it does not work
and there is no workaround.

There won't be any RPMs available for RC1. The new bugreport will be closed as duplicate as well. Could you please stop pestering me? This is beta testing. Not product testing. This issue simply cannot be done before the master is done.
Comment 14 Dusan Peterc 2007-09-24 20:47:29 UTC
I am glad to report that Nvidia driver 100.14.19 can be installed and works on SUSE 10.3 RC1. You or nvidia must have done someting to make it work. Thanks.

> Could you please stop pestering me?

No problem, today I have filed my last bug reports.
If you percieve bug reports as pestering, then I am just wasting my time.
