Nvidia guide for F13 Development.

[leigh123linux]

This is a Three-Step Process. If you don't follow all three steps, your install will fail!



1. Install the nvidia driver. ( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )

For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9 & 200 series cards

su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
If you use a PAE kernel


su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
Or (akmod builds the required kmod on bootup )

su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686


2. Edit grub.conf ( if you omit this step the driver will fail to work )


this command adds rdblacklist=nouveau option to /boot/grub/grub.conf


su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)3. Reboot

Hi Leigh...
Thank for this tuto, that work with my rawhide kernel 2.6.33-0.24.rc5.git1.fc13.x86_64 and Nvidia card GeForce 8700M GT/PCI/SSE2

[Sagitter]

Only for 64 bit arch? :confused:

[leigh123linux]

Only for 64 bit arch? :confused:

No it should work for 32 bit as well.

[Sagitter]

Very good !!!:D:cool:

nvidia driver beta are installed, thank you Leigh123Linux.

[leigh123linux]

Guide updated to 195.36.03

Kernel patch no longer needed.

[chepioq]

Before update to 195.36.03, I remove the 195.30-2 one?

Hi Leigh
Thank that work...
I have just a question:
I am on x64, but for wine I need xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.03-1.i686
And I don't remember how install (or built...) on my x64...

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM CST ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM CST ----------

rpmbuild -ba xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.spec --define "kernels $(uname -r)" --target i686

1st step was all it took, your Compiz thread and nVida thread Thanks you very much, Leigh. :)

I try the nVidia guide for Rawhide step in RC4 ISO's of F13 (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=241268) (64bit) and rpm image were making succeeded. yum operation is OK. And reboot.

But init5 (logon) cannot be done. Could you please advice me about the following problem?

Thanks and Best Regards!

Did you do step 7 ?

[mako999]

　Thanks a lot for the infomation!.
I'm not running F13 at the moment, I might try the final alpha version if I get the time ( I prefer Rawhide )

I understand.

My step in RC4.

1. Edit grub.conf add rdblacklist=nouveau and nouveau.modeset=0.
2. selinux stop.
3 #su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm'
4. I install the kmodtool-1-18.fc11.noarch.rpm by rpm command.
5. Your rpm image was installed. (by yum localinstall *.rpm --nogpgcheck)
But init5 N/G.

And according to nVForum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2159458&postcount=17) , nvidia (190.53 + nvidia-betasam-2.6.33.patch.txt) was build in init3.
Same init 5 N/G.

Excuse me, please teach the one raised besides the Rawhide kernel ? (For exmple xorg....FC13).

Only Rawhide kernel up, nVidia worked as desin.

Regards.:)

p.s I mistake in the above description.I'm sorry. kernel-2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64 doesn't normally stand up (vesa mode). I am investigating now.

There is no patch needed for 195.36.08, as for init, it doesn't apply to rpm's.

Thanks leigh!. My mistake operation.:(

By the way ,kernel-2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64 started only once by update the FC14 Rawhide repo.　However, init 5 was N/G though nvidia was built (your rpm image) in.
dracut was done to make sure.

There might be a problem in my environment. The following test is executed by P5E and 7900GS.

How can I switch back to Nouveau once installed the binary one?

Nouveau works fine for most of my daily work so I decide to run the binary driver enabled only when I played 3D games.

Is it possible?

The rpmfusion driver also blacklists nouveau.

[JEO]

Leigh, Thank you for this set of instructions. I have installed the nvidia driver under 2.6.33-1.fc13.i686.PAE (had to install kernel-PAE-devel instead of kernel-devel of course).

I tested it with second life and the frame rates are equal to the best I've seen.

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6200/AGP/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 195.36.15
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

[hannes|l]

Does anyone know when the driver is available via rpmfusion? What is the reason that we need to use such a workaround to make the binary driver available?
Thanks for your work!

Greetings

[GoinEasy9]

F13 is only Beta, you'll have to wait till release to get the blob from rpmfusion, or if someone like Leigh makes an rpm before hand. I hear that sgfxi is handling fedora these days, don't know if h2 has checked out the 2.6.33 kernel yet though. I'm sort of happy being blobless, nouveau is working for what I need it to.

Adding iommu=soft at the end of /boot/grub/grub.conf solved my problem.

Yep. That was it. Thanks a lot.
Wonder if this is basically the same as disabling VT-d in BIOS

[mps2006]

Worked great for me with the 2.6.33.2-35 from koji and a Quadro NVS 160M once I added the iommu=soft option.

Many thanks Leigh. Perhaps add info about the iommu=soft option to the begining of the guide as I'm sure there will be many people downloading the beta once it comes out and running into this problem?

Cheers

You should be installing the newly built rpms found in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64.

Try

su
rm -f /home/*/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/*nvidia*de*rpm
yum install --nogpgcheck /home/*/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/*nvidia*rpm

You could try this package

[newiLuvatar]

ok, so I downloaded

VirtualBox-OSE-kmodsrc-3.1.2-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.1.4-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.1.4-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

built

VirtualBox-OSE-kmod-3.1.2-1.fc13.src.rpm
(guess I could have donwloaded the f12 rpm, too)

then installed with
# yum --nogpgcheck install *.rpm

worked fine here. hope I didn't forget anything...

[lmcogs]

Just noticed that you have to rebuild again with any new kernel update.

[leigh123linux]

Just noticed that you have to rebuild again with any new kernel update.

You only have to build the kmod package.



i.e after today's kernel update I ran this


rpmbuild --rebuild /home/leigh/rpmbuild/SRPMS/nvidia-kmod-195.36.15-1.fc13.src.rpm --define "kernels 2.6.33.2-41.fc13.x86_64" --target $(uname -m)

Then installed the new kmod with rpm -ivh

Leigh, I have tried to enable the rawhide repository with

but get the following

My kernel is 2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64 because I install Fedora 13 beta :(. Can you explain for me? I'm stupid :(

Like I said, you need kernel-devel-2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64 installed to build for kernel-2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64 (or boot to the newer kernel)

[The Matrix]

I understood you said :). I will try build a new kernel. Although i don't know how to build a kernel :). Can you explain for me why in my "About this computer" show kernel is 2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64

No need to build the kernel , just update it


su
yum update kernelreboot

Thank you very much bro leigh123linux :). My driver worked fine.

You have to remove all the nvidia packages first ( xorg-x11-drv-nvidia is from rpmfusion and epochs 195.36.24-1 ), then try again (blacklist xorg-x11-drv-nvidia from rpmfusion first).

Thank leigh...that work!
I also install l Xorg 1.8 and remove "Option "IgnoreABI" "true"" in my xorg.conf, and that also work.

I forgot to mention that bit :)

[chepioq]

Yes... but i saw it with the nvidia link in your post #79

[Stanca]

I'm running Fedora 13 Beta Goddard x86_64 on my old system and it seems already pretty stable and solid enough.The only issue remains the video driver yet,it seems that the rpmfusion nonfree rawhide x86_64 repos (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/development/x86_64/os/repoview/index.html) didn't release the 173xx legacy driver and kmod or akmod.The nouveau and mesa development drivers don't work for me and the run package driver from the Nvidia official site (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_173.14.25.html) can't be installed because of the different compiling program version used for the 2.6.33.2.FC13.X86_64 kernel.
I guess I'll have to wait untill after the final release of F13 and that would be May 18?:confused::(:mad:

[vinoman]

what if you have:

[davek@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.2-57.fc13.i686 #1 SMP Tue Apr 20 09:28:45 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[davek@localhost ~]$


how would I get nvidia installed in fedora 13 beta 32bit ?

or should I just wait until the final version?

See post #81 (rpmfusion have pushed kmod-nvidia to the repo but no xorg-x11-drv-nvidia* )

I when i write [root@niki SOURCES]# spectool -g nvidia-kmod.spec
Command not found.
I got this... where is the problem?

I followed step 81 and redone step 1 but now getting

Online, try yum install spectool, spectool isn't installed

I installed this and i got stuck on next level...

Try it as non-root;)

[dwightpaige79]

I followed step 81 and redone step 1 but now getting

lmcogs or anyone else please note before doing this that the packages in rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide are labled as F-14 and not F-13. On my system they did allow the F-13 akmod-nvidia and kmod-nvidia packages to update but I don't know if they will or won't work after I reboot.

lmcogs the corresponding 'xorg-x11-drv-nvidia' are in rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide repo. Enable it and install those [3] packages and akmod-nvidia and kmod-nvidia packages should update. Then disable rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide repo.

FWIW I don't know who to notify of packages confusion with akmod-nvidia and kmod-nvidia in F-13 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia packages in rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide repo?

Ok. I rebooted and my nvidia graphics still work. And my system is completely up to date... Still not sure if mixing F-13 and rawhide packages is ok? Though it seems to have worked this time.

I when i write I got this... where is the problem?

I got no X there! Everything is booting fine but i got no x. Just this

Registering binary handler for Windows applications: [ OK ]

and a blinking cursor. when i change the init with ctrl+alt+f2 i login as root and type - startx, nothing happens again, there's a message like no screen found. :(

BTW! I don't know does it have something in common but i have some system crashes of metacity (only once i saw message), just system stops, i hear the last phrase of the song playing and i can make restart from button only. I think that this will be OK when i have video drivers working.

[GoinEasy9]

rdblacklist=nouveau belongs at the end of the kernel line, not the root line, not after rootnoverify under windows. ONLY on the kernel line.

Ok, I've got everything done, the build went fine, no problems, but where are the rpm's located? are they the ones in ./rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64?

If so, when I try to install them, I get: could not do simulate: kmod-nvidia-2.6.33.2-57.fc13.x86_64-195.36.24-1.fc13.x86_64 requires nvidia-kmod-common >= 195.36.24

And when I try to install the ones in ./rpmbuild/SRPMS, I get: could not do simulate: Backend will not install a src rpm file

On that second one, I can understand it because it is the Source RPM's right?

I'm not at home at the moment to post them, but I know are 6 RPM's in this folder. 2 I believe start with nvidia-kmod (or kmod-nvidia) and the other 4 are xorg I believe, if that's how it's spelt.

When I get home in a few hours, I can post a better picture of it lol :rolleyes:

You can delete xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-debuginfo, nvidia-kmod-debuginfo & xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel, then
install the remaining nvidia rpm's as a single yum transaction ( use --nogpgcheck ).

So just open terminal then do:

If so, when I do that, I get:

Is it suppose to be update instead of install?

Hi,

I have followed the outlined procedure in post #1. (tried both procedures, previous and updated)

rpm -qa produces the desired results.
Made sure that all versions match current (uname -r) kernel.
I have made sure to append the requisite argument to the kernel in grub.conf.

However when I attempt to reach runlevel 5

My monitor flashes on and off (Black and White)
The White does not seem to be just a solid white.

Any Ideas how I should proceed?

BTW

Thanks to Leigh123linux for all the diligent work done here thus far.

Just wanted to let you guys know. Got my install running pretty good, but for some reason it still doesn't have 3d desktop. I'm stumpted as to why its not working. Ive got 3d in KDE but it wont work in Gnome.

Had to use my own builds to get it to work though. Wouldn't install the ones from rpm fusion because it said I needed 2.6.33.2-72 kernel, which I don't see how to get as isn't that whats in rawhide and not released publicly yet?

Anyways, thanks a ton leigh, don't think I wound have been able to figure out how to get some of it done without you. He'll, I didn't even know you had to add *rpm to the end of a line for yum to install from your own computer. I knew it was possible, but just couldn't find a page that told how to do it.

Well, when i plug in my monitor (CRT), it works normally, but my laptop displaf is totally black..
and when i boot without the monitor, I get my laptop's monitor blinking each 1 second with the distorted image...

Is there any relationship with the EDID?

Hi again, I finally got my nvidia working. Fortunately I dumped my EDID before removing window$ from my laptop (phoenix EDID dump).

Here is my new xorg.conf:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation 330"
BoardName "GeForce "
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"

EndSection

When I comment out the custom EDID option and reboot, the X starts and shows 6 duplicated small screens ??!
So strange...

btw, my laptop is a Sony Vaio VPCCW2S1E.

Hi Yogi, I think we both have exactly the same card and the same kernel version. I also tried Leig's method but I faced the same problem of my screen flashing... hopefully i extracted my EDID by dumping it before deleting windows from my machine. I copied it itto my /etc/X11 then called it from my xorg.conf
This is how i solved the problem. I got stuck with this issue for 5 days...

Hey echerif,

Thanks for the EDID, I never allowed windows to boot on my machine ;-)

I added the option to my xorg.conf

This stopped the flashing. However the screen that displays is now just white. I can here the fedora "error"
sound when I press enter. So this is the furthest I have gotten.

Still working on it,

Thank you both

SUCCESS!!!

Thanks to both Leigh123Linux and Echerif,

With the help of you both I was able to boot into Fedora 13 in all its glory on my Sony f1190x with Nvidias 330M

I found another source of info that pushed it into the final working state.

http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/wiki/NVIDIASetup

So here's how I did it.

#1) Follow Leigh123Linux's guide here
#2) Add the "option" pointer to xorg.conf as outlined in the link above

done

Thanks again to you all!! :D

[mh3rn4nd3z3]

This is a Three-Step Process. If you don't follow all four steps, your install will fail!


Not sure if this has been mentioned to you, but is this a joke? :confused:

[katastrophal]

I guess just a copy/paste fail from the F12 nvidia guide ;)

i would make it a 5 step process:

(1) install driver
(2) blacklist nouveau
(3) reboot
(4) ???
(5) profit!

;) :D

[chepioq]

Just an info
The akmod-nvidia-1:195.36.24.1.fc13.x86_64 package is available on rpmfusion-nonfree-updates...

[chinazo]

I'm running Fedora 13 Beta Goddard x86_64 on my old system and it seems already pretty stable and solid enough.The only issue remains the video driver yet,it seems that the rpmfusion nonfree rawhide x86_64 repos (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/development/x86_64/os/repoview/index.html) didn't release the 173xx legacy driver and kmod or akmod.The nouveau and mesa development drivers don't work for me and the run package driver from the Nvidia official site (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_173.14.25.html) can't be installed because of the different compiling program version used for the 2.6.33.2.FC13.X86_64 kernel.
I guess I'll have to wait untill after the final release of F13 and that would be May 18?:confused::(:mad:

Same here, no 173xx package

[mounterriver]

I have no success in bring up the system with the nvidia driver 195.36.24. My system is acer aspire 4740G with nvidia 310m( actually a GT218). When I boot with the nvidia driver, the system turns into a blank screen and Xorg log shows no error at all.

[sdlor]

Hi All.. And thanks Leigh123 for all the help...

Re: (Post # 1)

"1. Install the nvidia driver. ( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )" (then skip down to the PAE part):"

"If you use a PAE kernel:"
(and then the PAE instructions....)...

My question:
If I understand this procedure correctly, does this mean I don't need to install "xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686", because I'm (will be) using a PAE kernel?? (It is not listed in the PAE procedure, but is in the other two examples)...

Thanks in advance, and am looking forward to installing Fedora 13..

Installing the PAE kmod will automatically install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

Understood..Thanks for the quick reply!..

Finally I fixed the problem. I added additional intel_iommu=off to my grub.conf and now I have 3D acceleration.

[JLear]

leigh I have tried using the run and also installing the driver using your guides the problem I get is when i login again to the new updated fedora 12 86 64 distro is that it wont boot please help me. It freezes on the Fedora logo screen and wont even go to the login. I use the suggested run install and all i get is the pixeled out small screen. I have a Nvidia 295 GTX and want to use it on my dual booted system.

[LuKaZ]

Same problem with Dell Precision M6400 and Quadro FX 3700:

[19:17][albertop@amturing:~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model: Quadro FX 3700M
IRQ: 16
Video BIOS: 62.92.5a.00.04
Card Type: PCI-E
DMA Size: 40 bits
DMA Mask: 0xffffffffff
Bus Location: 01.00.0

The solution as you already discovered it is to add kernel parameter iommu=soft:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_amturing-lvroot rd_MD_UUID=1b9ff023:c53ecf17:bef9aaa7:234b5413 rd_MD_UUID=dcaa4234:615dfb43:2ba439de:11e6c5e2 rd_LVM_LV=vg_amturing/lvroot rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau iommu=soft

[paulga]

Finally I fixed the problem. I added additional intel_iommu=off to my grub.conf and now I have 3D acceleration.

How do you add "intel_iommu=off"? is it like " --intel_iommu=off" on the line of "setup"?

[GoinEasy9]

Add it to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf.

[paulga]

Add it to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf.

I see. Thanks. I was in opensuse when I posted last time.
