Hi.
I recently replaced my ATI X800 with a new NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS.
Checking the nv(4) man page and it states that it supports:
[... snipp ...]
GeForce 7XXX
[... snipp ...]
So I setup the corresponding "Device" section to:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA"
Driver "nv"
#VideoRam 524288
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
(see attached xorg.conf) and started X.
Unfortunately X died instantly with signal 8 (SIGFPE):
[... snipp ...]
(WW) NV(0): remove MTRR 0 - 1000
(--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
(WW) NV(0): set MTRR e0000000 - f0000000
(WW) NV(0): remove MTRR a0000 - b0000
*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server aborting.
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 8. Server aborting
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.X.Org
for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional
information.
[... snipp ...]
(Xorg.0.log is also attached).
Using the nv driver under Linux (Gentoo) and the X starts and works as
expected.
The card -listed by pcitweak -l - is:
[... snipp ...]
PCI: 01:00:0: chip 10de,00f5 card 10b0,0801 rev a2 class 03,00,00 hdr 00
[... snipp ...]
System is running OpenBSD 3.9 (GENERIC kernel) from the CDs on amd64.
Has someone running an amd64 system with this graphic card?
Many thanks in advance,
Andreas.
P.S.: dmesg is also attached.
