Tue Sep 06, 2011	ALL DAY	#fedora-test-day (webirc)

Arriving after the date above?
If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing of Nouveau is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test Nouveau with your graphics card and provide feedback. If you are visiting after the release of Fedora 16, please wait for the next Nouveau test day.

What to test?

Today's Fedora Test Day will focus on the Nouveau graphics driver for NVIDIA graphics cards.

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion.

Development - Ben Skeggs (IRC: darktama)
Quality Assurance - Adam Williamson (IRC: adamw)

What's needed to test

An NVIDIA graphics adapter. To confirm whether you have supporting hardware, run the following command:

/sbin/lspci -d 10de: | grep -iq VGA && echo "Join Nouveau Fedora Test Day" || echo "No nVidia graphics hardware found."

An updated Fedora 42 pre-release, or the special live image (see below)
Your hardware profile uploaded to Smolt according to these instructions.
- If you are using a live image, please update your Smolt first, otherwise it crashes. Run: yum update smolt

How to test?

Update your machine

If you're running Fedora 16, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. Or you can use a live image:

Live image

Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Fedora 42 live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

Test

Follow each of these test cases:

QA:Testcase_nouveau_basic
QA:Testcase_nouveau_gnome3 ALL GeForce cards except the most recent GeForce 400 / 500 series should support Shell: if you get fallback mode, please report the test as a warn and file a bug
QA:Testcase_nouveau_dpms
QA:Testcase_nouveau_xv
QA:Testcase_nouveau_rotate
QA:Testcase_nouveau_restartx
QA:Testcase_nouveau_rendercheck (can take some time to complete, from 10 minutes to an hour or two)
QA:Testcase_nouveau_glx
QA:Testcase_nouveau_fastuserswitch
QA:Testcase_nouveau_vt
QA:Testcase_nouveau_suspend

Multihead test case:

QA:Testcase_nouveau_multihead

You will need two or more monitors to perform the multihead test.

Optional extended OpenGL test cases (some of these will require you to at least move around in games):

These will provide more detailed testing of 3D functionality. Please file bugs for any failures you find if running these tests.

Report your results

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component xorg-x11-drv-nouveau. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Follow the instructions on this page to ensure you include sufficient information in the report. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from Sample user as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to your Smolt hardware profile (see above for a link with instructions on submitting your hardware profile to Smolt). For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line. If you could not perform one test (for example, you cannot perform the more advanced tests because the basic one fails, or you cannot perform the multihead test as you have only one display), enter the word N/A. In the comments column, you can enter the model name and PCI device ID (vendor ID is usually 10DE) of your card, if you know it - you can usually find this information in the output of the command lspci -nn.

Results

Long notes
Please try to avoid leaving long comments in the table, it makes it difficult to read. If you need to explain an issue in detail, please file a bug, and link to the bug.

[15] streamer-properties and totem say 'Gtk_Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"'

[16] What user can I switch to in a LiveCD?

[17] Console is on 3, X11 is 2

[18] This is a laptop, I'm using an external monitor (lid closed). After opening the lid, now xrandr segfaults (as do other X programs), terminals don't get focus. After switching to a terminal via Activities, even an ls(1) there segfaults.
This seems to have been rendercheck's doing.

[19] =-1 => no xv support

[20] =-1 => no glx support

[21] Background displays briefly, then get mangled screen, no meaningful interaction possible
