[arch-dev-public] xf86-video-nouveau/nouveau-drm in testing
I've added xf86-video-nouveau + nouveau-drm to testing. Together with Xorg 7.5 this is a nice replacement for the binary crap when you don't need 3D stuff. 2D works well accelerated. 3D will follow later with gallium 3d. For more read: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ I run a DualHead setup on my desktop. This is my full xorg.conf for example: # the right one Section "Monitor" Identifier "NEC" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00" EndSection # the left one Section "Monitor" Identifier "FUS" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00" Option "LeftOf" "NEC" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "nvidia card" BoardName "nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)] rev 161" Driver "nouveau" Option "Monitor-DVI-I-0" "NEC" Option "Monitor-DVI-I-1" "FUS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "screen1" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Virtual 2560 1024 EndSubSection Device "nvidia card" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" Screen "screen1" # will be replaced by gallium 3D Option "AIGLX" "false" EndSection Have fun getting rid off nvidia binary blobs. -Andy

I have installed nouveau and everything runs fine here on my computer. The normal work like surfing, building packages, mails, etc. works as always. There are no problems so far. Ok, there is no 3D at the moment but who needs 3D. ;) (I don't need 3D) The installation process was a little bit stony. This way worked: - uninstalling nvidia and nvidia-utils - installing xf86-video-nouveau and nouveau-drm - reboot (removing the drm module doesn't work here) - reinstalling libgl and xorg-server That's it. After the steps everything worked as expected. Maybe there is an easier way for installing it (normally removing the module should work), but it works this way. I will test it (and the future versions) further and I'm looking forward for the 3D support. Cheers, Daniel

One additional point: I'm using an dualhead setup on my desktop, too.

An easier way for installing it is to not have nvidia drivers in the first place :) It went smoother for me because it was a fresh install. If I usually don't need 3D support, I do need xv for video playback. This didn't work by default. I was told to run a composite manager (xcompmgr is enough) to make it work, so I enabled composite extension in xorg, ran xcompmgr, and everything worked fine. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20612

Ah something I didn't understand before : this only concerns NV50 chipset ( GeForce 8, GeForce 9, GeForce GTX2x0 )
