![]() Though this driver issue might have gotten better due to some kernel drm fixes lately.Įnabled SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS (for pipewire compatibility).Įnabled some more hardening options ( GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY, GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT, ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS).Įnabled some more performance options ( GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE, CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA_LAZY). Also I needed an nf to use fbdev driver as the G5 froze when using the approriate r300 driver. Dunno if the fan control does not work on ppc64 only or generally on amd64 too. I also had an X1950 once but found the fan at full speed very loud too. lxde-base/lxdm-0.5.3-r2::gentoo USE="nls pam systemd -debug (-elogind)" 0 KiB sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210716::gentoo USE="redistributable (-initramfs) -savedconfig (-unknown-license)" 0 KiB These are the packages that would be merged, in order: # emerge -pv linux-firmware lxdm xf86-video-nouveau xorg-x11 In my case the essential packages installed look like this: Also you need to set VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev r300 r600 radeon nouveau" in /etc/portage/nf to get the nVidia driver automatically pulled in when emerging xorg-x11. What does emerge -pv xorg-x11 tell you? And how do you start X? You need a display-manager to do that (lightdm or lxdm work fine in my experience). There maybe some pitfalls though getting to X when you are not experienced in Gentoo. Got a GeForce 6600 LE too in my G5 11,2 Dual and no problems reaching X. Health forced early retirement so started getting into old PowerPC Macs and Linux. Or if you have ideas how I can get access to fan control on my X1950 then I can try that too.Īny help would be appreciated as the rest of the build seems to have worked great. Just after some ideas if someone might be able to help me getting the 6600LE working as it doesn't have a fan and the build seems to have some control of the G5 fans so it is mostly quiet unless under heavy load. I have a X1950 that I can try, but the fan in that is load as I don't think the kernel has fan control of the graphics card and I am not sure how to get that working. I am not truly sure where the issue is, I have been going through forums to try and see issues people have had with nVidia graphics cards and have tried a few things, but not matter what I try it just doesn't load a gui. I can connect to the system after boot via SSH, but once the boot moves from DOS/Text and starts loading the X environment and GUI the display stops working. Posted: Fri 2:49 am Post subject: Build worked but nvidia 6600LE not displaying on x11 loadĭoes anyone have this working on an nVidia 6600LE? I successfully built this on my G5 Quad and the system is up and running and seems to be working. Re-added some debug options needed by settings suggested by the Kernel Self Protection Project (only light ones without too much strain on the CPU).Įnabled most of the settings suggested by the Kernel Self Protection Project. Removed KEXEC support (doesn't make much sense on Apple PPC-hardware also disencouraged by the Kernel Self Protection Project) | Vampire V4 SA ĭisabled most debug options (as 5.4.x series now has been running without issues for me on G5 for a loong time), leading to a smaller & faster kernel. Of course you can still run make menuconfig afterwards. More straightforward and less error prone if you ask me. It also displays a nice info text of the option when awaiting your desicion. config and simply ask you what it should do with new config options if any arise. config over + make oldconfig (out from the kernel directory) more convenient.Īll it does is to use your old. In the end I found copying my old kernel.
