Hello,
I’m busy configuring a new Lenovo P53 laptop, and I can’t get the NVIDIA driver loaded by the Xorg server. Here is my current setup:
- openSUSE Leap 15.1, fully updated
- kernel 4.12.14-lp151.28.32-default
- Xorg 1.20.3
- NVIDIA G05 driver v440.31 (installed from RPM)
Here are the packages that were installed:
linux-ykp3:/home/pan/Documents # rpm -qa | grep nvidia
nvidia-computeG05-440.31-lp151.20.1.x86_64
nvidia-glG05-440.31-lp151.20.1.x86_64
x11-video-nvidiaG05-440.31-lp151.20.1.x86_64
nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default-440.31_k4.12.14_lp151.27-lp151.20.1.x86_64
They were obtained from the official NVIDIA SUSE repository at https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.1
The laptop features an Optimus GPU composed of the following two units (from ‘lspci’):
- 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile)
- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117GLM [Quadro T1000 Mobile] (rev a1)
The NVIDIA modules are indeed loaded by the kernel:
linux-ykp3:/home/pan/Documents # lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm 49152 0
nvidia_modeset 1110016 1 nvidia_drm
nvidia_uvm 1036288 0
nvidia 19927040 5 nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm
drm_kms_helper 204800 2 i915,nvidia_drm
drm 491520 9 i915,nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper
ipmi_msghandler 65536 2 nvidia,ipmi_devintf
But the X Server refuses to load it with the following error message (from Xorg.0.log):
[ 22.691] (EE) NVIDIA(G0): GPU screens are not yet supported by the NVIDIA driver
[ 22.691] (EE) NVIDIA(G0): Failing initialization of X screen
The X Server then falls back to using the Intel chipset through the ‘modesetting’ driver.
Can someone please explain how I can make Xorg load the NVIDIA driver? My understanding is that this is the only way for me to (hopefully) get an external monitor recognized through the HDMI connector.
