Since February and xorg-server 1.18.1 cannot start X with Nvidia Optimus (proprietary driver), as I have a black screen. I use Gentoo with xorg-server 1.18.2, kernel 4.5.0, intel driver 2.99.917_p20160313, nvidia driver 361.28-r2. All configuration (.xinitrc and xorg.conf) are like recomended by nvidia. In last 2 years I had no such problems wit Optimus. To have working X, I use startx form text console and Xorg.0.log shows only 1 error: http://pastebin.com/rSLBSkFf (EE) modeset(G0): failed to set mode: No space left on device ^^ In Google looks like this error was only in Gentoo. No idea what's wrong. I thought it was related to this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92313 But 1.18.2 did not solve this problem
After last days drivers update (both intel & nvidia) I have such error on the screen after typing 'startx' from the console: xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major Opcode of failed request: 139 (RANDR) Minor Opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 45 Current serial number in output stream: 45 xinit: connection to X server lost
Hi, As there is no answer, I would like to ask if there is any linux website with professional support, where I could pay for the help? Do you think this error is related to modesetting in kernel? (EE) modeset(G0): failed to set mode: No space left on device
Hi and sorry, I've struggled with the same issue for one week, and I forgot to post something. I had xorg >= 1.18 working on a previous installation of gentoo on a Clevo P170EM with an Intel HD 4000 and Nvidia GTX 680M. It was working great with xf86-video-intel from February, but it is no more available it seems. So on my new install, I've been forced to downgrade to xorg 1.17.x and everything works with xf86-video-intel 2.99.917-r2 and the nvidia driver 364.19. Otherwise, I got the same error of yours on every (newer) other intel driver version.
I am having the same issue nvidia card 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204GLM [Quadro M4000M] (rev a1) intel card 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics P530 (rev 06) I have tried both modesetting and just the intel module for the integrated GPU and the both have the same results when i run $ xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0 $ xrandr --auto xrandr: Configure crtc 4 failed X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 62 Current serial number in output stream: 62 and xrandr --auto creates the following line in Xorg log [ 1738.258] (EE) modeset(G0): failed to set mode: No space left on device If there is anything I can post to help find the bug faster I can
I encountered this exact issue (xrandr reporting BadValue and Xorg.0.log showing "failed to set mode: No space left on device) with xorg-server 1.18.4 and nvidia-drivers 370.23, also on Gentoo, with the same Nvidia PRIME setup. After much experimentation, enabling the "glamor" USE flag on x11-base/xorg-server fixes this. I've not the faintest idea as to _why_ this fixes it. It's especially odd, as enabling Glamor should actually break things, according to Nvidia's own documentation: > o Some versions of the "modesetting" driver try to load a sub-module called > "glamor", which conflicts with the NVIDIA GLX implementation. Please > ensure that the 'libglamoregl.so' X module is not installed.
I can confirm that on xorg 1.18.4 with glamor enabled nvidia-drivers 370.23 indeed does work as expected with optimus
I could confirm, compiling xorg-server (18.4) with glamor enabled, solved the issue with unfamous black screen. However, it is strange as this is against Nvidia advise which says: ...Some versions of the “modesetting” driver try to load a sub-module called “glamor”, which conflicts with the NVIDIA GLX implementation. Please ensure that the libglamoregl.so X module is not installed... Tested with Nvidia 370.28 driver. Works fine for time testing, but switching [Rendering Backend] in KDE Plasma 5 settings form [OpenGL 3.1] into [XRandr], makes desktop bit unstable wit artefacts. No such issue with xorg-server 17.4
same here
I just disabled glamor on Gentoo and get the same results on xorg-server 1.19.5.
