Guys,
Is there support for display port 1.2 with the nouveau driver and GTX
970?
I have a dell 4K monitor and to run it in 4K mode at 60Hz I need to
configure the monitor to run version 1.2 of the display port protocol.
the nouveau driver works well with display port 1.1 but I only get a
30Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution.
thanks.

The DP 1.2 540MHz rate should be supported. However there is presently no MST support, so if the monitor has 2 internal panels, that won't pan out so well (yet). Also note that the GTX 970 requires signed firmware from NVIDIA to use any acceleration, and we haven't quite yet figured out how to get that going. This means that all you get is modesetting, no acceleration. Esp with a 4K screen, using llvmpipe may feel slow if you use a GL compositor, as many modern desktops do. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I'm having a hell of a time with the nvidia driver since I have three 4K monitors which hook up to the GTX 970 card, but in linux it will only drive two of the 3 monitors. The monitors do have the dual internal panels each running at 1920x2160 or something like that. For some reason nvidia only drives 4 of the panels (two monitors) per GPU... Is the MST support imminent? or off into the future?

Kepler+ GPUs only have 4 CRTC's, so you can only scan out 4 things at a time [pre-Kepler have only 2 CRTC's]. However perhaps you can have a single CRTC split an image up into 2 encoders, I don't really know how that works, esp in the context of DP-MST, where it's really a single encoder. > > Is the MST support imminent? or off into the future? It's on the horizon... a horizon, of course, being an imaginary line that keeps moving further away as you attempt to approach it :) Here's Ben's tree from a year ago (which BTW has no support for your GPU at all): http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau/log/?h=devel-mst AFAIK he's been putting it off, trying to combine it with a conversion to atomic modesetting. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

So... how about this question? Would you be familiar with the Base Mosaic and/or SLI mosaic configurations for the nvidia driver? specifically if they work with geforce cards? I know they work with quadro cards. (At least the base mosaic does with the quadro cards.) I may just get me another card to solve the 3 monitor problem. thanks for all the feed back!

Not really familiar with what the blob drivers offer in that regard. I will say that if the actual HW supports your configuration (e.g. it works fine in Windows with the exact same cables / connectors / etc), chances are you can file a bug with them somehow, not sure what the response rate is though. I do know that things will go much smoother if all your monitors are hooked up to a single GPU than to multiple GPU's. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
