After compiling and installing nouveau and entering driver in place of nv, the X server failed to start. The rpm for kmod is kmod-drm-20061019T1837-1.2.6.18_1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm and for libdrm is libdrm-20061019T1837-1.git.i386.rpm I installed and compiled according to the websites listed below: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FedoraPackages http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ I will attach the server log from the unsuccessful start after bug submittal.
Created attachment 7470 [details] log after crashing This is the Xorg.log generated on failure.
Created attachment 7471 [details] This is the xorg.conf file that works. Replacing "nv" with "nouveau" generated the errors referenced in the server log.
The xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-20061019T1837-1.git.i386.rpm rpm also compiled and installed. I did not mention this previously.
Created attachment 7473 [details] xorg.conf on same computer, different setup This is an xorg.conf file for another instalation of fedora development that works with the nv driver but errors with the nouveau driver. The other xorg.conf file was generated by X -configure. This version was generated by system-config-display. An X log will also be attached from this other installation on the same box.
Created attachment 7474 [details] Another log with s-c-display generated xorg.conf vs. previous X -configure Both configurations are dual display with an AGP Nvidia as secondary and a PCI Matrox G200 as primary. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200 (rev 01)
Created attachment 7479 [details] Loade but crashed once I panned the mouse over to the NVidia display This will be the last log submittal for awhile. I booted into the system using XFCE as the window manager. Both displays worked and displayed items. However, when I moved the mouse over to the NVidia display, the server crashed. Both KDE and GNOME would crash very shortly after logging in. XFCE only gave out once panned to.
Created attachment 7569 [details] The compilation of the driver and installation of the driver works for FC6 Though I cannot get 3D running at this particular point. Here is the xorg log of my current successful session. I just made a few changes to the xorg.conf file regarding modules from the X -configure generated version to the "suggested" loading module range.
Created attachment 7570 [details] This is the xorg.conf file modified Modified modules section.
Created attachment 7571 [details] yesterdays backup copy of xorg.cong.backup-nouveau This is the fallback configuration file nouveau was using before switching from nv.
This bug has been fixed yesterday in xf86-video-nouveau git repo :) http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau.git;a=commit;h=e6c4d40e247939f677e285db15a78ccc33b92b41
