I am newbie in this topic and I have problems trying to bring x.org up 
on the hardware I have:
IBM QS22 BladeServer (PowerPC64 architecture) with PCI-Express connected 
nVidia 6200 video card.
OS: Fedora 10-ppc: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.5aik #1 SMP Tue 
Feb 10 14:55:56 EST 2009 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux

I downloaded and compiled DRM driver (git clone 
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm) and loaded it:

[root@localhost ~]# modprobe drm

Also I've got

compiled and installed.

Then, I've tried configuring x.org:
*

*As I see (but I am not sure that I do understand things right), x.org 
uses vesa_drv.so for configuration but it starts with nouveau_drv.so 
what looks for me as a mess.
So my questions are:
1. is there a simple way to know if /dev/fb is alive?
2. is there any simple way to make x.org working without ANY 
acceleration at the moment?
3. what am I doing wrong in my expirements? I can see 4 types of drivers:
- original drivers coming with the fedora10 kernel (I got rid of them 
before started playing with nouveau because they did not create even 
/dev/fb*);
- drm drivers (which are replacement for the original onesm right?)
- x.org drivers (which I've not changed/replaced)
- mesa drivers - what is their role - I still do not understand.

Thank a lot in advance for the answers/clues on my silly questions :-)

Since this is a ppc64, architecture related bugs in Nouveau may occur.
I don't really know the situation here.

This is offb, right? If it is nvidiafb, you need to use... can't recall,
see here: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Kernel_Framebuffer_Driver

The device you should get from nouveau DRM is /dev/dri/card0.

Above it says bus id (5@1:0:0) and here 01@05:00:0...
could that be the problem?

And this is a third bus id, different from the two above?
It's confusing at least. Try without any BusID in config?

The config could be cleaned somewhat, but I don't see any other very odd
things.

That's the wrong device, AFAIK.

Enable NoAccel and ShadowFB in nouveau's Device section in xorg.conf...
but I don't see any reason for that, since DRM is not complaining.

That's the kernel framebuffer driver device, which is usually harmful
to accelerated X.org drivers, but since you have ppc, you probably
need something. The offb driver in kernel should work.

Original what?
DRM modules are the kernel part of the Nouveau driver. Without them you
don't get any acceleration. These are not kernel framebuffer drivers (yet,
at least).

nouveau_drv.so, required, from git.

3D acceleration. Not in any usable state at this time, and not
included in any Mesa release yet. You can just forget it and enjoy
software OpenGL rendering.

I actually did, but I have no idea how to interpret this. x86 linux show 
only 3 numbers for every device, but this server has 6 PCI roots with 
separate bus numbering so if we want to use 3 numbers system, the bus-id 
needs to be fixed somehow...

I'd like anybody to tell what do they write (or see after auto-config) 
as PCI-id for their videos on ppc. I think that it might be a problem.

For example? What string would at least look correct? I did try a lot of

Is /dev/dri/card0 the only device node needed for X? Do not we need /dev/fb(0) as well? Or we need both, do we?

Original I meant is the .ko which appears after compiling the Linux 
kernel with the nVidia driver enabled as a module.
My point was that there can be only it OR drm driver loaded. At least, 
the original drriver does not start (and does not create /dev/fb - I am 
not sure tha it has to, but anyway) because it fails on reading the 
nVidia registers in the very beginning (while executing its _probe) - 
all the memory space mapped via PCI BAR0 is empty.

But is the original (from the linux kernel tree) driver required to make 
things working at all?

It is accessed via /dev/dri/card0, right?

Cool! There are already too many things so excluding any of them is 
helpful :-)

Actually I start thinking that I need to look for the linux capable to 
start with X on PlayStation3. It can have clues...

I've absolutely no experience about ppc, ppc64, or multiple PCI roots,
so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I mean literally, remove the BusID line. Or is that something that is
clearly not going to work? I've never dealt with server hardware.

Normally, as I said, having /dev/fb* is harmful, becuase it means the
kernel fb driver is active (if using udev). On x86 it is definitely
not needed. I don't know how ppc changes this, since there is no VGA
text mode to begin with and you need some fb driver to have a text
console at all.

If you don't need /dev/fb* to have a text console, then you don't need it.
Period.

nvidiafb.ko is a kernel fb driver. Especially nvidiafb.ko breaks things.

Yes, nvidiafb.ko and Nouveau break each other.

No. nvidiafb.ko and drm.ko from the Linux kernel break Nouveau.
If you need to have some kernel fb driver to have a text console,
use offb (vesafb should work with Nouveau, too, but don't all ppc's
have OF?).

You need drm.ko and nouveau.ko from DRM git repository.

Which "it"?
nouveau_drv.so, also known as the nouveau DDX, accesses the 2D hardware
acceleration features via /dev/dri/card0.

/dev/dri/card0 is created, when nouveau.ko is loaded and it recognizes
the card.

How many PCI domains does that machine have ? Current libpciaccess is
broken, in that PCI cards only work in the first domain. So the
solution is to put the card in a slot from the first domain if
possible. You are screwed otherwise (well, you could replace the
hardcoded first domain in pciaccess with the right domain and it might
work, I don't know...)

No way. There are 6 domains and the first does not have any connector...
But this libpciaccess - is it linux lib or nouveau lib or x.org lib?

It's an X.Org library. If you look there is a 0 hardcoded somewhere
for the domain - can't recall where exactly offhand though. Most
people aren't affected because there is usually a single PCI domain on
PC/x86...

I don't think thats true, pciaccess handles domains fine.

DRM on the other hand not so well, I think you get to play with the bits of the
drm that match buses. Also be careful X's BusID are bus@domain:func:dev
not at all obvious.

Yeah I asked benh and he said the domain problem in pciaccess was
indeed fixed, but in the DRM not so much... He also said he had some
patches though :)

Thank you all for the help, I got a bit further in my way :-)

First of all, X.org understands domains but something is wrong. I

Maybe it helps somebody who is responsible for multi-domain capable code :-)

Then, I made a try to move the card to domain #0. Having the BIOS source 
code, it was easy.
But it keeps failing with the same error -
(EE) NOUVEAU(0): wrong DRM version
(EE) NOUVEAU(0): 1365:

What does it mean?
I'm also a little confused by a try loading something called "int10h" 
which does not exist in any form on my server.

It means your DRM kernel module and X driver don't match. That is
strange, since it should fail to compile first I think. Somehow you
had the right DRM module at compile time but not at runtime? Try
getting the latest for both and recompiling.

        /* temporary lock step versioning */
#if NOUVEAU_DRM_HEADER_PATCHLEVEL != 12
#error nouveau_drm.h does not match expected patchlevel, update libdrm.
#endif
        if (pNv->pKernelDRMVersion->version_patchlevel !=
                        NOUVEAU_DRM_HEADER_PATCHLEVEL) {
                xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_ERROR,
                        "wrong DRM version\n");
                return FALSE;
        }

Found, installed. Fails different now. As I understand, it builds the

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBDRM_NOUVEAU_CFLAGS
and LIBDRM_NOUVEAU_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

You need the --enable-nouveau-experimental-api flag when configuring, e.g.:

./configure --enable-nouveau-experimental-api

Re: running x.org on powerpc64 with nvidia6200

[aik]

So, with the help of the community, I've got all the binaries compiled 
and ready-to-run. But it crashes in the very beginning. So the question 
is - what does nouveau expect from the system BIOS to get started (if it 
does)? I'm asking because I know for sure that the BIOS I have does 
support video very limited and I'm not sure that the support implemented 
at the moment is enough to get X.org up.

Also, I've heard an opinion that X.org cannot work with the cards mapped 
behind 4GB range. My server maps all the PCI devices there (see the 
lspci output). Can anybody comment on that?

And thank you all again!

Re: running x.org on powerpc64 with nvidia6200

[aik]

Have made a next try.
The nouveau_drv.so compiles for PPC32 while I need PPC64. Is it able to 
be compiled for PPC64?
The autogen.sh output is below. When I've been trying to rebuild the 
kernel, sizeof(void*) was 8, but for nouveau_drv.so it is 4 bytes As my 
PCI BARs are behind 4GB, it is the problem.

Any clues?

Re: running x.org on powerpc64 with nvidia6200

[aik]

Another try. Reconfigured DRM and xf86-video-nouveau modules with 
"./autogen.sh CFLAGS=-m64", recompiled, copied, run:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nouveau_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nouveau_drv.so: wrong ELF class: 
ELFCLASS64
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nouveau_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
(EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.


The question is - has anybody ever compiled AND run X.org + modules as 
64bit binaries for PPC64?
