    I might just downgrade to 8.04 and hope that my nvidia card works with that.
    Ubuntu version shouldn't be an issue. I use 8.10 here too. Anyway, just tried to run autogen here and there were no problems, but instead of "tests/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'" I get "libdrm/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'".
    It seems either you are doing sth wrong or there were some problems with their scripts which they recently fixed. Please run
    Code:
    git pull
    in the drm directory, rerun autogen script and, if you still get any errors, copy entire autogen output to pastebin.com and drop here a link.

    Hi,

    I get the below error when doing ./autogen.sh (stage 4) in the first post.


    configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-maintainer-mode

    any ideas?

    I have managed to install the driver but I can't configure two separate x sessions. One for my laptop screen and one for external screen. How can I do this my current xorg.conf is attached

    Have you tried following this guide? If you have, could you also post your Xorg.0.log (/var/log)?

    Re: HOWTO: Nouveau - Open source 3d drivers for nvidia graphic cards

    I have successfully configured my external screen and I can make it rotate independently from my laptop screen. How ever only when the screen is rotated the refresh rate is to slow. You can actually see the screen updating across from left to right. The screen will work in portrait mode with the nvidia driver. But independent rotation can only be achieved with nouvea. my xorg is attached.

    Many thanks

    great guide kakimio just to note, gallium3d is now merged (as of 17th july 2009) and developed in mainline (as i understand it) so no need to checkout a gallium branch. its not built by default on karmic but adding --enable-gallium-nouveau to configure should do it. i'll see about some sort of very-likely-to-break packaging

    oh, and building kenel modules in the drm tree (drm/linux-core) will no longer work. nouveau driver work is now in a kernel branch
    git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6
    be warned, its a very very big branch!

    Thanks, dinxter

    Most likely I'll update the guide just after the ubuntu 9.10 final release.

    probably best to wait til then, theres been a few changes.
    updating the packages in karmic using git is easy enough (with the help of a well written howto ), i'm just trying to fiddle with the gallium enabled mesa git package to get gallium up and running, to the best of its current abilities. we'll see how it goes i'll add gallium support to the drm/xorg/driver ppa below once i get it sorted

    Hi and thanks for this guide.
    I have been having issues with resolution on ALL Ubuntu & Kubuntu with the Nvidia driver (96) and decided to give Nouveau a go. I had received advice from the kubuntu forum http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3109198.0 and was advised to check this guide.
    In doing so everything went great till step 5 for 2D
    Code:
    make
    and got
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
    What should I do?
    here is a link to previous attempts http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3109198.0
    PS I had intended to attach the Xorg.0.log file as a .txt but it would not attach as it was 37kb and the attachments for .txt can only be 19.5kb where as .doc can be 195kb so the xorg.0.log is attached as a .doc file.
