Hi
Maybe stable enough now?
Thank you
-
I am curious, are you using the nouveau module successfully with another distro, like Ubuntu?
I don't have an Nvidia card at present so I have no experience with nouveau.
-
Just booted the live usb of ubuntu 18.04.1 and I see it's using the "nouveau" module:

infact I can extend the desktop using both monitor and tv.
PS. I Met this evening a girl from Atlanta here in Florence (Italy) and told her to look for you and say hallo from me when she'll be back to US

Hi
In tc9 x86 there is the nouveau module, but not in the 64 bit
-
Hi
No I'm wrong in tc9 there is no nouveau module
-
Hi. A few days ago I bought an Evga Geforce 210, quite an upgrade from my onboard i915. Without nouveau it would only do 1024x768 which was my standard with the old squarish monitors but it's not ideal with the new wide ones. I also booted the Ubuntu live desktop, and nouveau was in use and working fine.
When rebuilding the kernel for dCore-bionic64 I built the nouveau module. I have been using it today without any issues, works nicely. It allows my setup to have a resoultion of up to 1920x1080, and at my preferred 1440x900 glxgears reports 950 frames per second.
The package is nouveau-4.14.10-tinycore64. Be sure to use a new copy of dCore-bionic64.gz and vmlinuz-bionic64, as well as re-import any SCEs that contain kernel modules. It is working well enough for me to upload it for testing purposes.
-
Hi Jason
Thank you very much for this.
Would have been nice if you have announced the intention of building it, it had saved half of this afternoon try to build the proprietary Nvidia.
I'll try later the module when I'll be back home
-
Hi. I was going to build it and test on my own before making a mention of it, in the case it was not going to be stable or usable enough to post it.
-
Hi
tested the new module but doesn't works here:
jls@pc1:~$ version

Hi. That is an earlier build of dCore-bionic64 than the one you reported an error with in the other thread. Hold off testing until I can verify the latest RC. Thanks.
-
Hi
jls@pc1:~$ version
dCore-bionic64:2018.08.01.16.55
jls@pc1:~$ version -r
System using dCore-bionic64:2018.08.01.16.55, the latest release candidate.
still have the same errors described in the first post
-
Hi
In the meantime I've managed to build nvidia-340.106-4.14.10-tinycore64.sce
-
All is working well here with the latest dCore-bionic64 RC:

Are there any existing SCEs that may contain kernel modules you are loading that have not been updated since to the kernel upgrade in dCore-bionic64? That is the first possible issue. Thanks.
-
doing sce-update -a......
PS I'm using the kernel in the RC area, am I right?
-
There may be an issue with sce-update that is seen by this. Just re-import any SCEs that will be loaded for now. I will look into sce-update later.
-
Yes, kernel in the RC area is correct.
-
using kernel in the RC area I can manually load the nouveau module without errors, but Xorg doesn't want to use it.
See the attached file
-
Hi
I've also tried
Xorg -configure
with no luck
see attached file
-
Are you starting with no SCEs being loaded from the SCE directory and then using sce-import to import and load SCEs, or, have you re-imported all existing SCEs that will be loaded.
Just wanting to be sure that has been done.
-
Best test would be to start with an empty TCE/SCE directory, then import needed packages.
-
Hi
After correcting debextra entries that where still pointing to artful, I've reimported all the sces.
But still the nouveau driver isn't used by Xorg.
I've attached the xorg log of the confless xorg and the faild Xorg -configure
thanks
-
One last thing, since re-importing the SCEs and correcting /opt/debextra didn't result in a working nouveau, perhaps starting totally clean with an empty SCE directory, no backup, nothing in /opt/debextra. Then import xorg-all, graphics-4.14.10-tinycore64, flwm (or other window manager). Like doing a dCore-usbinstall. It shouldn't make a difference, but only starting clean will we know. If Ubuntu's nouveau works for your video card, this one should too but it may be the case your card is not supported by the stock nouveau in Linux 4.14.10. Thanks.
-
Started from zero, no debextra, it works!
-
Retried on my normal setup and it works also there.
Don't know why but anyway I'm glad.
So I don't use anymore the proprietary nvidia driver.
I wish you a good week end
