The xorg log file

I just changed the graphics card from ATI 9800XT to Geforce 6800Ultra for my PowerMac G5 running gentoo ppc64, and reinstalled the system from the newest stage3 package on genoo official website. Everything went well for emerging ebuilds, till I ran startx. I got the first screen with rectangles and froze, and X died after while. I use nouveau graphics driver version 1.0.9, and xorg-server-1.14.3-r2. The Xorg log file is attached.

Here is the emerge info:

Comment 1 dehua.yang 2013-10-31 10:27:44 UTC
This problem concerns with nouveau's acceleration function. I tried to disable it by putting "NoAccel" in xorg.conf, X worked so was also gnome.
Comment 2 Roowe 2013-11-03 14:46:46 UTC
我装了x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.3-r2 with x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.9之后,打开Emacs滚动白屏,xterm打开也白屏,然后非得将.Xresources注释掉字体颜色什么的,用默认的配置才能操作,不然我都看不到文字。然后我尝试回滚xorg-server,然后竟然work了--
Comment 3 dehua.yang 2013-11-22 13:25:14 UTC
I updated my system, now with:
kernel 3.12.1
mesa 9.2.3
nouveau 1.0.10
xorg-server 1.14.4
After I put option '"ShadowBF" "True"' in xorg.conf, the nouveau driver works with acceleration.  In glxinfo it has "direct rendering: Yes", and no nouveau error in dmesg and Xorg.0.log.
Comment 4 dehua.yang 2013-11-23 01:23:04 UTC
Actually this is not HW acceleration by using ShadowFB. In Xorg.0.log there is "Using Shadow Framebuffer - acceleration disabled", so I still have a broken nouveau driver with acceleration. When using ShadowFB it seems the graphics operations are faster than that NoAccel option is enabled on my system. The 3D seems not supported, there is no difference in FPS running glxgears in both situations.
Comment 5 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2017-01-26 06:29:07 UTC
Is this still a problem? Reopen if it is.
