Wayland LiveCD Updated Against v1.5, Uses Systemd On Ubuntu

[nerdopolis]

nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 didn't help, btw I got asus, not msi.

Though, as I mentioned earlier if I pick an option below the default one in the grub menu it works, I wonder why. If you had a nouveau/pc you could workaround this issue, to me it's a matter of choosing an option below the default one and I end up with a 1920x1080 desktop resolution regardless of which resolution I choose at grub menu (I chose 2 options both worked, though the one with 1440xXXX gave a warning).

It works because when you choose the framebuffer option, it also passes the wlmforcefbdev option, which causes the waylandloginmanager to start all Wayland server with the framebuffer option

On Virtualbox which has a real framebuffer, it sets the framebuffer size, however with kernel mode setting drivers, they provide a virtual framebuffer device that is the same size as your screen, and override the vga=xxx option.

Unfortunately, even if I did test on Nouveau before this release, it looks more like an issue with Nouveau and your card, and not something that will effect all Nvidia cards. The weston log (loginmanagerdisplay.log) showed nothing wrong, both weston-display-server and weston-desktop-shell are running, and it can't be a mesa issue, because Weston is being called with the pixman renderer for loginmanagerdisplay, I'll see what I can come up with though

In the mean time I am uploading a test ISO here http://sourceforge.net/projects/rebe...s/nouveautest/ which will finish in about an hour or so, which has menu option to pass the Nvidia workaround... When it's done uploading please try to start it just to verify?


Thanks for all the testing.

Looks like in this new iso there are 2 new options:
Option (2) - Startup with a workaround for Nvidia/nouveau
Option (3) - Startup forcing to a default sized framebuffer

For testing I used not only my current (rather new) videocard (GTX 560Ti, GL 4.4 capable) but also an old(er) Nvidia card - GeForce 6800GS (GL 2.1 capable) on this same computer.
Both cards yielded the same results:
Option (2) failed - just like with the default option.
Option (3) worked!

I also have a Nvidia card GeForce 9600GT (GL 3.3 capable) - should I do a test with it too?

[nerdopolis]

Sure.
Can you also send me /var/log/dmesg ? I think that should have any logging from the driver itself

Thanks

I can't attach files in this forum, so send me an empty email to f35f22fan at gmail dot com and I'll reply with a zip file with 3 folders (560Ti, 9600GT, 6800GS) each has 4 files.
The "-1" or "-3" means which option was used at the grub menu "-1" default one, "-3" the successful one with the set size framebuffer.

Btw, 9600GT yielded same results as the previous 2 videocards - first two boot options failed, 3rd one succeeded.

Don't worry, I won't sell your email address on the black market and I promise I'm not a maniac, and I'm too lazy to learn to use pastebin and name the pastes which is which (I'm already quite tired actually of testing and such), the files are already arranged and named in proper folders.

Ok. I'll send an email in a while...

Haaa... There is a limit, and a pretty low one. (Though yes, I do have logs several MB in size.)

Hi.

I was informed of two recent patches by Mario Kleiner, that fix Nouveau page flipping issues...

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/commit/?h=drm-next&id=af4870e406126b7ac0ae7c7ce5751f25ebe60f28

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/commit/?h=drm-next&id=dcfb1009df3b4ad8d2e0779dd45b438629d6858a

I applied them to 3.13, built the module, and tested it, it worked on my older NV36

The test ISO is here http://sourceforge.net/projects/rebe...6.iso/download

Let me know if this fixes the issue with Nvidia so I can report back to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75761

Thanks.

Also, can all Nouveau users with the black screen on the previous ISO report that this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...x/+bug/1330785 affects you, in the hopes that there can be an official backport to Ubuntu's Linux 3.13? Thanks. (Mainline 3.13 is at EOL)
