[arch-general] X doesn't start for 3.0-rt, X 1.12, nv 2.1.18-5
Perhaps the current X update has broken my install. At least in 2012-Feb-21 this kernel-rt worked with X and the nv driver. I tried to boot the kernel-rt to build a new module for VBox. # pacman -Qi linux-rt xorg-server xf86-video-nv | grep Version Version : 3.0.14_rt31-1 Today updated: Version : 1.12.0-1 Version : 2.1.18-5 This does work with X 1.12: # uname -r 3.2.9-1-ARCH # pacman -Qi nvidia | grep Version Version : 295.20-3 Anybody using current nv driver with kernel-rt 3.0 or current version 3.2.9_rt17-1 from AUR? -Ralf

Similar here; setup with geforce 210 (gt218) and nvidia-rt does not show anything on the screen. however I switched to nouveau which works acceptably for me. another, newer nvidia card I could get to work with nvidia-rt, which built fine with bumping current linux-rt to 3.2.11-rt20 tbh, the gt218 related problems here started somewhere around 3.2.>4? so I haven't actually tested said config with the most current rt patch yet, although I've seen funny stuff going on on the other setup, as well (deactivating irq errors and such). tl;dr, nvidia proprietary and rt kernel aren't really working atm. cheers! mar77i

A misunderstanding. I tried to use the nv driver, not the proprietary nvidia driver. On startup I run a script, it's switching between nv for kernel-rt and nvidia for the default kernel. The kernel-rt worked with the nv driver, but it doesn't work now. I can't use nouveau for my setup. Regards, Ralf

yes and no. xf86-video-nv-* were last updated on 30-Jul-2010. Don't expect that stuff to work any more on current kernels and please use a driver that is in development. debian doesn't package it any more, the gentoo wiki also mentions it as outdated and bugs.freedesktop.org comments like this to their WONTFIXed bugs: "Nobody is supporting xf86-video-nv and it will be going away at some point in the future. If your problem persists with nouveau or the proprietary driver provided by nVidia, please re-file accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience. This is part of an automated bulk action; if you believe that this bug was closed in error, then change the targeted component and reopen it." you're on your own. good luck! cheers! mar77i

3.0 is an old kernel-rt and in February the X + the nv driver were ok. I still have got backups.

you're on your own. good luck!
But I'm not alone, since nouveau doesn't work for many Linux users. Regards, Ralf

But it doesn't work on current xorg. That's what deprecated means, eventually.
