Noob problems with xorg.conf glxservernidia module does not exist

T

Trogg

Forgive me, I'm a FreeBSD noob, but I've been searching online for an answer and keep hitting a brick wall. I installed FreeBSD last Friday and i get a default resolution of 1024x760 and no other options. The laptop is a HP OMEN running an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060. I'm running version 13.2 Release of the OS. and i'm struggling to find out why is keeps telling me (ee) failed to load module glxservernvidia (module does not exist). I installed the latest nvidia drivers and even ran nvidia-config which just made things worse. I get a black screen with a cursor and no movement. I even tried running Xorg -configure and it created a detailed xorg.conf file but I got the same result. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia driver. I followed the advice online and put the appropriate entries in the rc.conf and loader.conf files but nothing is happening. I'm at a loss for what to try next and any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this far and thank you in advance.

Nvidia driver not working on HP Omen Laptop

Forgive my last attempt at not using formatting in my previous post. When I startup X I get a default resolution of 1024 x 768 with no other options.

Here is my /etc/rc.conf

Code: 
hostname="OMEN"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
create_args_wlan0="country CA regdomain FCC"
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
defaultrouter=192.168.0.1
kld_list="nvidia-modeset"
snd_hda="YES"

This is my /boot.loader.conf

Code: 
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

A friend asked me to run some commands and post the output.

Code: 
dmesg | grep -i nvidia

Code:

nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms  525.116.03  Wed Apr 19 23:11:38 UTC 2023

Code: 
pkg info | grep -i nvidia

Code: 
nvidia-driver-525.116.03       NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering

So far I've tried running Xorg -configure to no success, manually create a /etc/xorg.conf, uninstalling and reinstalling nvidia-driver and downgrading to a previous version of the driver. The machine seems to be picking up the driver but X is not. Is this a known bug? Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
I also rand the following command:

Code: 
pciconf -lv | grep -B4 VGA

Code:

    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

    device     = 'TU106M [GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

I read the section 5.4.3 in the handbook and created the file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia-conf and wasn't able to get X up and running.
 
Have you removed nvidia_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf?
What is the result of kldstat and the content of /var/log/Xorg0.log? (use the "spoiler" tag or post it as attached file).
 
I just tried removing nvidia_load="YES" and I got the same result.

When i ran
Code: 
kldstat

What is the content of /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia-conf?
If you added something about BusID, just remove this line and retry.
 
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia-conf

Code: 
Section "Device" 
        Identifier "Card0" 
        Driver     "nvidia" 
EndSection

There was a bus id in there. I removed and rebooted the machine X still wouldn't start. It said fatal server error, no screens found.
 
Looking at your xorg log file it seems it's using only scfb driver. I would start with proper xorg.conf configuration. Attaching my working config. Just change BusID in Device section and maybe details in InputDevice section. My /etc/rc.conf contains "kld_list="nvidia-modeset nvidia", nothing specific in /boot/loader.conf. kldstat shows nvidia and nvidia-modeset modules loaded.

Thank you for the link, but I can't seem to download or read your file
 
Thank you to Emrion and 3301 for your help today, unfortunately everything that has been recommended hasn't been successful. I'm taking a break from this, at least for the night. Thank you again

i tried the xorg.conf file from 3301 and another xorg.conf file from https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=fc81710889&log=xorg.conf

neither worked I just get fatal server error no screens found. in /var/log/Xorg0.log It sees the NVIDIA drivers and loads them but nothing happens. It still can't see glxserver_nvidia. Is there anything left for me to try?

Just for the fun of it, I don't suppose you have an external monitor you could hook up?
 
Yes, that's the problem: no plugged monitor has been found. But, the nvidia card is well detected and modules are loaded, so this is an improvement comparing to the beginning.

For example, on a machine with a nvidia card, I get this:
[ 9.379] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Samsung S22B150 (CRT-0): connected
[ 9.379] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Samsung S22B150 (CRT-0): 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock

You can explore what you can do with x11/nvidia-xconfig (read man page). Or try to use you Intel GPU (drm-kmod) if that works better. And/or, as i1045 suggested, plug an external monitor to see if it gets detected.

I get the same with my config so that's not the point.
 
Hi Trogg, I've always found setting up x11/xorg to be a pain, particularly on laptops. Don't despair -- you will get it working ? Your NVIDIA card looks to be supported, having looked at the NVIDIA driver page.

Try specifying the BusIDs for both cards. I would also echo i1045 's suggestion of plugging in an external monitor as in the past I have managed to get an external screen showing before finding the right configuration for the internal one.

I have looked at the logs and pciconf(8) output you posted and believe the BusIDs I've specified in the minimal xorg.conf file below (can be split into multiple files as per the X Windows section of the FreeBSD handbook) are the ones you need, though once you're up and running you'll likely want to adapt the other sections, add desired extensions etc.
Code: 
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "TU106M [GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile]"
    BusID          "PCI:1@0:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"

    Driver         "intel"

You should also ensure that /etc/rc.conf contains the line to load drivers for both graphics cards in case the one connected to the laptop screen is not the one you expect!
Code: 
kld_list="nvidia-modeset i915kms"
 
I have good news, and not so good news. I followed the advice of Emrion and installed drm-kmod and put the i914ms in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted. When i did that it rebooted and loaded a much larger screen resolution. When I tried startx it gave me a larger screen with a mouse pointer against a black background but no movement. I tried fiddling with the xorg.conf files through manual editing andorg - configure, which i know is a bad thing but i was out of options. That didn't resolve anything, but then I decided to follow the advice to plug in another monitor. I rebooted and started X. The monitor was the same grey immovable mouse pointer with a black background but the external screen loaded with a resolution of 1920x1080. So I have part of what I was looking for, but no idea why the laptop screen is unusable. I am elated that I have a working display so thank you to everyone who helped. However I'm greedy and would like to get the other screen up and running as well. Its currently running the modified xorg.conf
file. What other information is needed?

After talking with a friend about this, he recommended that I post my my /var/log/Xorg0.log file If you see anything of note please let me know

I have some concerns about the values in the xorg.conf file you posted:
  • You have listed two separate Device sections using the same BusID value, which I don't believe is valid as it would mean that you are trying to attach two drivers to one physical device
  • I don't believe that i195kms is a valid value for the Driver; I think it should be intel.
For further diagnosis, your configuration files and Xorg.0.log log files for any configuration close to working would be helpful (and ideally posted in code blocks rather than as an attached file). I am reasonably hopeful the Device sections in the configuration file I posted for you are correct. Did you try them?

It fails when I try to run it and I get the following message

is this something that can be tweaked?
 
In general it looks like you are moving in the right direction. Have you tried plugging in a USB mouse to see whether it is just an issue with the touchpad configuration at this point?

Responding to your posts, let me take your latest ones in order. Regarding Xorg.0.log, a good place to start is to restrict what you're looking at to errors and warnings:
grep -E 'WW|EE' Xorg.0.log gives:

You can then start searching the web to find out what is going on, starting with errors and moving to warnings.

The error line relates to not being able to find the intel driver. You are planning to use your NVIDIA card so may not care about this. However, from the X Windows section of the FreeBSD handbook, I believe you need to install graphics/drm-kmod to provide this driver for your Intel graphics card:
pkg install graphics/drm-kmod

An easy warning to fix is the Option "NoLogo" one, which is my bad as I copied it from a configuration from an old NVIDIA driver. You can just remove this option from your config file.

I'm afraid I can't offer anything on the Hotplugging message without doing some more research, though I found the same in my own X11 log file and my laptop's internal keyboard and trackpad as well as my external keyboard and trackpad work just fine.

Regarding your second post, for multiple monitors I use xrandr(1) without issue. This also lets me plug and unplug external monitors and reconfigure on the fly. The configuration you posted is using Xinerama, which makes X11 treat your multiple screens like one big one. I will let you decide what will work better for you but would suggest that this is the sort of configuration decision that can wait until you have a working X11 environment.
 
Hello,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you i've been trying lots of things. I did install drm-kmod and that didn't change anything it was still looking for an intel driver so after reading a post in the Arch forums i installed
Code: 
xf86-intel-driver
It didn't work but in the Xorg log it did pick up the intel driver and loaded. I did get an error message though
Code: 
[  1220.537] (WW) intel(G0): Disabling Xv because no adaptors could be initialized.

Further research led me to look gor the output
Code: 
xrandr --listproviders
Code: 
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x1b7 cap: 0x0 crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x1fe cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

So it knows there is something there.

I will attach my xorg.conf and my Xorg log file to see if there's anything something simple that could be corrected

Does this indicate that the intel-driver is trying to configure Monitor0?

Code: 
[  1220.427] (II) intel(G0): Output eDP-1 using monitor section Monitor0
[  1220.428] (II) intel(G0): EDID for output eDP-1

If so, this could be an issue:

Code: 
[  1220.812] (II) GLX: Another vendor is already registered for screen 0


Could both drivers be trying to grab onto Monitor0? If so, maybe it could be resolved in xorg.conf
 
I managed to get my laptop screen working at optimal resolution. Its using the intel card and not the nvidia. The external monitor doesn't work now, Is there a way to get the laptop montior working with the NVIDIA card? This is my current /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I tried to get the second monitor working with second screen but it failed, but loaded the laptop display anyway.

Hmmm... Is it possible your laptop uses NVIDIA Optimus, which is meant to switch between graphics cards on-the-fly?

Your easiest option might be to try to disable one graphics card and just use the other. Are there any settings in the BIOS that would allow that?

Alternatively to make Optimus work, these ports might be relevant though are outside of my experience:
