Hello to everyone. I'm a new net-bsd user. I'm learning and trying this OS. The first step is to configure correctly the resolution of my screen. On my PC I have 3 graphic cards : 1) 000:02:0: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (VGA display, revision 0x02) 2) 001:00:0: NVIDIA product 1e04 (VGA display, revision 0xa1) : (NVIDIA RTX 2080ti) 3) 002:00:0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (VGA display, revision 0xa1) Good. On the BIOS I have configured the Intel UHD Graphics 630 as primary GPU device. In addition I have installed XFCE4. The problem that I have is that I can't increase the default resolution that have been chosen automatically,that's 1024x768. Probably I haven't installed the correct driver,I don't know. Below u can see all the hardware specs of my PC : > netbsd-marietto# pcictl pci0 list > > > 000:00:0: Intel Xeon E (S, Desktop) Host Bridge, DRAM (host bridge, revision 0x0d) > > 000:01:0: Intel Core 6G PCIe x16 (PCI bridge, revision 0x0d) > > 000:01:1: Intel Core 6G PCIe x8 (PCI bridge, revision 0x0d) > > 000:02:0: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (VGA display, revision 0x02) > > 000:18:0: Intel 300 Series Thermal (miscellaneous DASP, revision 0x10) > > 000:20:0: Intel 300 Series USB 3.1 xHCI (USB serial bus, xHCI, revision 0x10) > > 000:20:2: Intel 300 Series Shared SRAM (RAM memory, revision 0x10) > > 000:22:0: Intel 300 Series MEI (miscellaneous communications, revision 0x10) > > 000:23:0: Intel 300 Series SATA (AHCI) desktop (SATA mass storage, AHCI 1.0, revision 0x10) > > 000:27:0: Intel 300 Series PCIe (PCI bridge, revision 0xf0) > > 000:28:0: Intel 300 Series PCIe (PCI bridge, revision 0xf0) > > 000:28:5: Intel 300 Series PCIe (PCI bridge, revision 0xf0) > > 000:29:0: Intel 300 Series PCIe (PCI bridge, revision 0xf0) > > 000:31:0: Intel Z390 LPC (ISA bridge, revision 0x10) > > 000:31:3: Intel 300 Series cAVS (mixed mode multimedia, revision 0x10) > > 000:31:4: Intel 300 Series SMBus (SMBus serial bus, revision 0x10) > > 000:31:5: Intel 300 Series SPI (FLASH) (miscellaneous serial bus, revision 0x10) > > 000:31:6: Intel I219-V Ethernet Connection (ethernet network, revision 0x10) > > 001:00:0: NVIDIA product 1e04 (VGA display, revision 0xa1) > > 001:00:1: NVIDIA product 10f7 (mixed mode multimedia, revision 0xa1) > > 001:00:2: NVIDIA product 1ad6 (USB serial bus, xHCI, revision 0xa1) > > 001:00:3: NVIDIA product 1ad7 (miscellaneous serial bus, revision 0xa1) > > 002:00:0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (VGA display, revision 0xa1) > > 002:00:1: NVIDIA product 10f1 (mixed mode multimedia, revision 0xa1) > > 003:00:0: Micron/Crucial Technology product 5403 (Flash mass storage, NVMe, revision 0x03) > > 005:00:0: Renesas Technologies uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host Controller (USB serial bus, xHCI, revision 0x03) > > netbsd-marietto# dmesg > > > [ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 1 added (default, vt100 emulation) > > [ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 2 added (default, vt100 emulation) > > [ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 3 added (default, vt100 emulation) > > [ 15.871239] wsdisplay0: screen 4 added (default, vt100 emulation) > I've installed this server Xorg : **modular-xorg-server-1.20.11 Modular X11 server from modular X.org** At the moment I've installed these drivers with the command pkgin install : (please be patient if I made some mistake,I'm experimenting / learning) **intel-vaapi-driver-2.4.0 VA-API user mode driver for Intel GEN Graphics family xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20200515 Modular Xorg Intel video driver** Probably one some of them shouldn't be installed ?

@"marietto"#p9075 It's probably because your GPU is too new. NetBSD 9.x supports Intel GPUs up to and including Kaby Lake, with DRM implementation equal to Linux 4.4. Here's the link for [9.0 Announcement](https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-9/NetBSD-9.0.html) which mentions the DRM version. **EDIT:** UHD 630 is Coffee Lake and supported in Linux since around 4.13.

@"marietto"#p9075 The Xorg server is using the NVIDIA RTX 2080ti card: ```text [ 1202.633] (--) PCI: (0@0:2:0) 8086:3e98:1458:d000 rev 2, Mem @ 0x98000000/16777216, 0x40000000/536870912, I/O @ 0x00005000/64 [ 1202.633] (--) PCI:*(1@1:0:0) 10de:1e04:19da:2503 rev 161, Mem @ 0x96000000/16777216, 0x60000000/268435456, 0x94000000/33554432, I/O @ 0x00004000/128, BIOS @ 0x????????/524288 [ 1202.633] (--) PCI: (2@2:0:0) 10de:1c02:19da:2438 rev 161, Mem @ 0x92000000/16777216, 0x80000000/268435456, 0x90000000/33554432, I/O @ 0x00003000/128, BIOS @ 0x????????/524288 ``` You can see the `*` on the 2nd line. However, the nvidia driver fails to initialize the card: ```text [ 1202.649] (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0001:01:00.0: -19 [ 1202.661] (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0001:01:00.0: -19 [ 1202.661] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory [ 1202.661] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting [ 1202.661] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory ``` so, Xorg falls back to the safe option for your HW which is the `wsfb` driver: ```text [ 1202.661] (II) wsfb(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section "Builtin Default wsfb Screen 0" for depth/fbbpp 24/32 [ 1202.661] (==) wsfb(0): Depth 24, (==) framebuffer bpp 32 ``` and _that_, since you probably haven't configured it to use a better resolution, defaults to 1024x768. Try: 1. Uninstall `modular-xorg` and `xf86-video-intel`--Just use what's in the base install. 2. Re-create the DRM devices. As root: ```sh cd /dev sh ./MAKEDEV drm0 drm1 drm2 ``` 3. Edit `/boot.cfg` and disable the `nouveau` drivers by adding this line: ```text userconf=disable nouveau* ``` 4. Reboot. Post `/var/run/dmesg.boot` and current Xorg log file if X starts.

I already said this on reddit, but you shouldn't use modular-xorg with the official binary packages. They're built for native X only. Coffee Lake is indeed too new for the DRM/KMS stack in 9, but you should still be able to get the correct resolution with gop+wsfb.

@"rvp"#p9078 Hello. thanks for your explanation. I would like to know why NetBSD chosen to use the NVIDIA graphic card instead of the Intel UHD 630 as primary choice. I have attached the screen to the HDMI port of the UHD 630,not on the NVIDIA card. And on the BIOS,I have chosen the UHD 630 as primary,not the NVIDIA card. I want to use the UHD 630 as primary graphic card and I want to make the NVIDIA card available to be passed thru with qemu + nvmm. About this : do u know if the pass thru of my graphic card can work on NetBSD ?

> @"marietto"#p9105 I would like to know why NetBSD chosen to use the NVIDIA graphic card instead of the Intel UHD 630 as primary choice. No idea--will have to look at your `/var/run/dmesg.boot`. Try loading the `intel` driver explicitly. ~~(Add a `BusID` to further nail it down.)~~ > @"marietto"#p9105 do u know if the pass thru of my graphic card can work on NetBSD ? No idea. Sorry.

@"rvp"#p9110 like this ? /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" EndSection

> @"marietto"#p9111 /etc/X11/xorg.conf Location is wrong. Move the `wsfb.conf` file out of the way and put that fragment, above, in the same dir.

@"[unknown]"#p9117 I haven't any wsfb.conf file in any place of my disk. can u be more clear about what I should do ? thanks.

I tried the solution below but it didn't work : netbsd-marietto# pkgin install xf86-video-wsfb calculating dependencies...done. 2 packages to install: xf86-video-wsfb-0.4.0nb8 modular-xorg-server-1.20.11 0 to refresh, 0 to upgrade, 2 to install 16K to download, 7861K to install proceed ? [Y/n] y cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d nano wsfb.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" EndSection

Did you actually disable nouveau and/or i915drmkms on your boot.cfg as suggested above by @"rvp"#168?

Trying to install the driver for my main GPU,the Intel UHD Graphics 630.(i915)

marietto

I made new experiments :

1) I have disabled the gop 4 directive,but the screen turned off again

2) I've installed ssh in NetBSD and I've been able to connect to the ssh server using ssh client on Windows. It means that the NetBSD kernel does not crash

3) I've recorded a video because I wanted to capture the latest boot message displayed on the screen just before the monitor turns off. Do you want to give it a look ? it is here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H8uKrzirCqtd1IQ1JrW_HXNl6Rm3hNnn/view?usp=sharing

The error message is : failed to load dmc firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin

but I'm not sure. I'm not able to see it clearly...

marietto The error message is : failed to load dmc firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin
but I'm not sure. I'm not able to see it clearly...

That looks about right, but, I can't make out clearly either. (Atleast hold the camera sideways, mate.)
Looks like either:
a) you'll have to bring in the Linux firmware blobs--see this post, or
b) it's a driver bug and you'll have to report it.

marietto I used the hashtag before the command,like this : #userconf=disable i915drmkms* ; maybe you didn't see it

My mistake, I thought the nouveau was commented out.

I've tried to follow this tutorial,but at some point it didn't work :

marietto at some point it didn't work

Only the firmware needs to be installed, mate. The patching and compiling stuff is for getting his Intel card to work. You don't need it.

And, you've overwritten the 9.2 intel_csr.c with the same file from 9.99.82. (Why?)

Remove the intel_csr.c.rej
Rename the intel_csr.c.orig file saved (in the same dir.) by patch back over intel_csr.c

kern info [drm] failed to find VBIOS tables (VBT)
i915drmkms0 : interrupting at ms19 vec0

Those are standard messages. They're fine. The next message is more important:

[drm] finished loading DMC firmware ...

This means that the right firmware was copied to the correct location. If the screen is blanking even after this, then its a driver bug and you should report it on Github. BTW, I just tried the new DRM drivers on my own 10-year-old integrated Intel card, and while the driver didn't blank the screen, the results of running X were either:

a) locked-up the system (with glamor acceleration--only on -HEAD; 9.2 doesn't have it), or
b) a completely unusable display woth glamor disabled.

Can you:

Post the dmesg output?
Try this experiment: After the screen goes blank, wait a few minutes; then blindly type-in (on the console) your username, password, and then startx
I want to see if running X produces a display. Post the Xorg.log file.
(You can check if X is running by logging in via ssh.)
Disable your Intel driver, and see if the new Nvidia DRM drivers work better.

rvp

marietto

$ cd /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf
$ config GENERIC

I don't know what all this is, but, you don't need to do it. If you want to compile the kernel use build.sh as you've already done.

I did what u have suggested. logged inside the pc with ssh and copied and pasted the xorg.conf file. no,X is not running on the machine. and yes,I have created the drm0 1 and 2 devices before booting netbsd. on the boot.cfg file I have disabled the nouveau driver,but not the i915drmkms one. The driver that I have included on the xorg.conf file is "modesetting". This is the boot.cfg file i've used 😀 and I've recompiled the kernel with the build.sh script.

marietto and yes,I have created the drm0 1 and 2 devices before booting netbsd.

Not according to that log:

[   320.124] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[   320.124] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
[   320.124] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

which os why Xorg didn't start. Try again.

marietto I have disabled the nouveau driver,but not the i915drmkms one.

Try the other way around also: disable intel, enable nouveau. And again, please post the dmesg output too like I asked.

marietto

I I've created the script below and I've called it /etc/rc.d/mkdri
I've added mkdri=YES in /etc/rc.conf

Take in considerations these phenomenon :

1) if I disable the nouveau driver and the i915 driver and I don't use the framebuffer driver the screen will be disabled
2) if I disable only the nouveau driver t.s.w.b.s
3) if I disable only the i915 driver t.s.w.b.s

whatever things I do,netbsd always choose the nvidia graphic card as primary. it works only with the framebuffer driver (wsfb) on the xorg.conf file.

rvp

marietto I've created the script below and I've called it /etc/rc.d/mkdri
I've added mkdri=YES in /etc/rc.conf

This is a very good idea, but this only creates the dri devices at boot time.
If you start Xorg with the wsfb driver, then switch to the modesetting driver, the devices will be lost and the modesetting driver won't load. Remember to keep this in mind.

I can't tell if any if these are true because you haven't shown me the kernel logs.

It's very simple: every Xorg.log has to be paired with the corresponding dmesg output and the /boot.cfg and the Xorg config file. Right now, you're just confusing the heck of me, and during troubleshooting the usual rule is that only one party at a time should be confused.

That works also 😀

OK, now that we have the logs, things can be explained:

[     9.576848] kern info: [drm] failed to retrieve link info, disabling eDP
[    11.136843] i915drmkms0: info: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes
[    13.286834] i915drmkms0: info: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes

This is why the screen turns off. The DRM driver can't find any monitors or the EDID info. returned by the monitor is wrong or not read properly. You have the DRM_MAX_RESOLUTION stuff uncommented in the kernel config., right? (You should also report this on Github.)

Now we have this situation:

nouveau disabled; i915drmkms enabled, but, not finding any monitors.
Xorg runs, modesetting driver loaded (nouveau_drv also loaded, don't know why), but can't run because no monitors found. nouveau_drv won't run because the nouveau DRM driver is disabled.

Can you add this to the X config file (Section "Device") and try to run X again. Post the Xorg log file:

    BusID    "pci:0:2:0"     # use the Intel card
    # BusID    "pci:1:0:0"     # use default Nvidia card
    # BusID    "pci:2:0:0"     # use other Nvidia card

Then, disable the Intel card in /boot.cfg, uncomment one of the Nvidia BusIDs, reboot and run startx again. Post both logs for this.

Is there a way to check if DRM_MAX_RESOLUTION is configured correctly ?

ok. now inside the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d I have a file called "xorg-modesetting.conf" with this content inside :

As long as its uncommented, it should be OK.

Even with BusID "pci:0:2:0" added, things are the same with the Intel DRM driver:

No intelfb0 framebuffer is created, and so we have in the Xorg.log file:

For the Nvidia card:

The nouveau DRM driver didn't configure either of your Nvidia cards, so only genfb is running on all 3:

And, in Xorg.log:

[    53.577] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: Operation not supported by device
[    53.577] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
[    53.577] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: Operation not supported by device
[    53.577] (EE) No devices detected.

(in this case,for some reason,the screen didn't turn off,but X does not start)

The screen didn't turn off because you're running on genfb (no Nvidia DRM drivers have taken over!); and X hasn't started because the modesetting driver needs DRM kernel drivers. It won't run on top of genfb.

For the Intel test, the Intel card was set as primary in BIOS, right?
And, no KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switches between the card and monitor, right? Direct connection?

Fortune cookie: You have bad luck. Maybe luck will change later.

That actually is a good summary, but, since this is a NetBSD DRM issue, you should file it on Github.

Can you make a dmesg log after booting the kernel with -v -x? Power off; then interrupt the bootloader; at the prompt type boot -v -x. Connect direct to the monitor's HDMI port. Xorg log not needed.
