karmic alpha 4's xorg 'nv' driver does not handle Nvidia 8200

[jdonner]

Binary package hint: xorg

I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic alpha 4 and got no X. Casually it looks clear-cut; the Nvidia 8200 (a chip built-in to the motherboard) has somehow been dropped from the list supported by 'nv'. This below is from ubuntu-bug -p xorg; the full output was too long to paste here, email me if you need it, thanks.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Added regression-potential tag because for Jaunty, VESA was being picked in these scenarios.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The fix for bug 385658 redoes how card detection works with -nv and may solve this bug. Please test Karmic-beta or newer and verify if it does.

[Cedric W (angularsofty)]

I experienced the problem described with Karmic alpha 4 & 5, but alpha 6 handled the Nvidia GeForce 8200 without a problem.

[jdonner (jeffrey-donner)]

I reinstalled Jaunty (which worked fine), updated it, and upgraded to Karmic beta. Still no X but it doesn't say 'ignoring unsupported device' this time. I've attached the full ubuntu-bug -p xorg output.

[Nathan Crawford (njcrawford)]

I see the same problem with an Nvidia Geforce 8100 integrated into the motherboard. My system already has the fix for bug 385658 installed.

[Nathan Crawford (njcrawford)]

Marked as Confirmed because jdonner and I have both tested on Karmic beta as requested in comment #2 and verified it still occurs.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

I've just uploaded an xserver-xorg-video-nv package to my ppa at https://launchpad.net/~vorlon/+archive/ppa which I think should fix this bug. Could people give it a try once it's built, and let me know whether it does fix the problem for you?

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Here's the debdiff of the version I've uploaded.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Mario, I'd appreciate if you could test whether this PPA package also still works on the hardware you've previously tested.

[jdonner (jeffrey-donner)]

Something's working -

I installed Karmic beta from disk, but before doing the reboot I added Steve's .ppa to my repository, downloaded and

 sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-nv_2.1.14-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb

I rebooted sans CD and it came up fine. I rebooted again, still fine. I installed synaptic and looked at what was installed, it wasn't version 4, but version 3 (the old, non-working one I thought)! I don't understand, I could see version 4 staying in effect for one reboot (then apparently getting replaced by the old one), but, it wouldn't happen only on the 2nd time . Ie, it doesn't look like the new .ubuntu4 .deb is in effect, yet it's working.

I'm in the midst of updating, I've got the ...ubuntu4 .deb handy just in case for the next reboot, I'm not sure what happened but overall something's right.

Let me know what you need as proof that it's working (and proof that that was the problem, maybe).

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Well, 2.1.14-2ubuntu3 is definitely the version of the nv driver package that we had in karmic beta. Can you show the Xorg.0.log from this successful run with -2ubuntu3 installed? Is it possible that the non-free nvidia driver is running instead?

[jdonner (jeffrey-donner)]

Both ..ubuntu3 and 4 work, I've attached the log from 3 as you requested. I can only speculate that, since I didn't /upgrade from Jaunty/ this time, that the problem might have been something else the 2nd time. Sorry, I hope you didn't spend too much time on it.

Ok, if ubuntu3 is working for you, then we don't really have a confirmed bug here at this point. Marking incomplete.

One difference I notice in the old vs. new logs is that there's no mention of an /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the new log - so maybe the autodetection doesn't work when you have an xorg.conf, even when you're not explicitly specifying a driver. Can you confirm that on the new karmic install, you don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

Can you test whether re-adding this config file breaks video for you again with ubuntu3, and whether upgrading again to the ppa ubuntu4 fixes it? If you don't have a copy of the xorg.conf anymore, there's a copy buried in http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32931149/apport.xorg.7Rwbpw.apport - let me know if you want me to extract it for you.

It does indeed break with version 3 and the old, minimal xorg.conf. And, it works with the nv3 and no xorg.conf (and with nv4 and no xorg.conf). But unfortunately, with the old xorg.conf, nv4 still breaks. I've attached the nv3 Xorg.0.log with this, and the diff between it and nv4 follows:

Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver-xorg-video-nv. Starting with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We hope bugs will get fixed faster with -nouveau as well.

Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we do not have intentions to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it upstream.
