nVidia support and due diligence failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I had to replace my video card as it was causing system crashes and finally died.  My old card had a GT 230 chip.  I check and brought http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeName with me shopping.  I noted that my card was in the NV50 family.  This seems to have good support and I had not problems.  So, I figured I'd a new card in the same family.

I got a GT215/GT240.  Imagine my surprise when it hung on booting into graphical mode with the Fedora Icon displayed.  The /var/log/messages file shows lots of

Nov 15 13:55:26 meimei kernel: [   69.226738] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH TLB flush idle timeout fail: 0x011fde03 0x00145b4d 0x0000002d 0x0034db40
Nov 15 13:55:34 meimei kernel: [   75.562699] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Failed to idle channel 2.

messages.

Anyway, I really need to get my system up and running so I just installed kmod-nvidia from rpmfusion and had done with it.

I thought I did all I needed to do to come out with a working system running nouveau.  Either I missed something or buying the right nVidia card supported by nouveau is hit or miss.  Yes, I know there is no love lost between "Linux" and nVidia.
