Hello all,
and help pretty please. I am going nuts over this issue. I am running
Code:
PCI (sysfs)
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: nVidia Corporation
vendor: nVidia Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
version: a1
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
resources: irq:24 memory:fa000000-faffffff memory:d8000000-dfffffff memory:d6000000-d7ffffff ioport:cc00(size=128) memory:fbc00000-fbc7ffff
(read: GTX 570 Nvidia) and doing the nvidia prop closed source driver. In contrast to the open source driver solution this one set the screen resolution right. I am even running compiz-fusion with nice effects, but I seem to be lacking total 2d acceleration. A transparent terminal that I move around has some vertical flickering, same goes for video playback (vlc). Overlays, like Sxipper for Firefox does not render the page darker but pitch black.
I am not sure if this matters, but
Code:
root@icarus:~# cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size= 8192MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x200000000 ( 8192MB), size= 4096MB, count=1: write-back
reg02: base=0x300000000 (12288MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: write-back
reg03: base=0x0c0000000 ( 3072MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: uncachable
reg04: base=0x0bf800000 ( 3064MB), size= 8MB, count=1: uncachable
there are uncacheable items in the mtrr. glxgears run smooth at ~14k fps. There is however, no mentioning of mtrr in the bios, not sure if i can (re-)set it there.
I am chewing on this problem for days now. I even switched from an ATI Card (HD5770) to NVIDIA (GTX 570) in hope of a solution.
I have uploaded all relevant files here: http://stuff.demonlord.de/ubuntu/
ANY help is oh-so-glady accepted.
Help. Pretty please.
