batocera.linux 5.25 with nvidia-legacy drivers (390.xx) - Discontinued

Community provided build for 5.27 with nvidia-legacy: https://batocera.org/users/alexxandrefs/5.27-nvidia-legacy/ I’m looking for someone to maintain this c...

albiihza I need more information to debug problems. is it a notebook with a dual-gpu setup?

carlosroberto2094

Is there an image with the legacy drivers? I was able to run the 1.20 version, but I'm having some problems with GameCube emulation.
I have a 430M and would like to try the legagy driver, but I don't have any knowledge in linux and programming.

poke ok I will try it tomorrow!!

Sduva thx! try the 4.19.21 build.

https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/users/poke-1,0/5.20/4.19.21/
I would like to know:
with nvidia-driver=false: if you can get to ES and OpenGL string in settings
with nvidia-driver=true: if you can get to ES and OpenGL string in settings

That image is based on 5.20, the nvidia-legacy driver is not enabled.

Sduva

poke I tried the 4.19.21 build, it made me configure manually the xbox 360 controller.
With nvidia-driver=false (with the # in the conf file) I could get to ES and in settings/information I could read OpenGL string, in my case 4.2 version
With nvidia-driver=true (deleting the # in the conf file) same results as above.
Is this what you needed? Please let me know.
Thanks

joinski

poke I won't provide builds for 340.xx. Sorry, I don't have the necessary hardware.

Do you want to have the necessary hardware? I have a system with nvidia ION-Chipset laying around, which i do not need anymore.
It is a Zotac ION ITX P (IONITX-PE) with an Intel Celeron SU2300 and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GPU.
I could donate it and send it to you (you just would have to pay shipping costs).

poke

joinski thanks for the offer, but shipping costs to Brazil are high.

I have just looked it up and it would cost 16€.
But it would be without insurance (so if the packet gets lost, it's lost).
With insurance it would cost 46€ (which is a bit high).
What do you think?

poke

joinski let's wait a bit. I still have to think about a way to incorporate 390.xx in vanilla.

Sduva

Sduva in both cases, the complete opengl string is the same:
4.2 (core profile) Mesa 18.2.4

I tried to run a gamecube game and in both cases it still uses the intel gpu

poke

Sduva ok, your results are, unfortunately, what i expected.

Those intel+nvidia notebooks are affected by 2 problems:
1) intel gpu support is broken in BA 5.20
2) discrete gpu usage (gpu switching) is not supported at the moment

My build fixed the first problem. I have some ideas to fix the second. How familiar are you with linux cmdline? What is your nvidia gpu model?

Sduva

poke My nvidia gpu model is 740m. I’m not very familiar with linux cmdline but a friend of mine is, so we can try several tests if you want. By the way, what do you mean by “intel gpu support is broken in BA 5.20”? At least in my case all the games works in 5.20 with the intel gpu, but of course the gamecube for example have a poor performance, that is why I would like to use the nvidia card.
Thanks

poke

Sduva X was not starting for some intel gpu users. i released a custom build to fix it. I got the impression it also affected some intel+nvidia dual.

please, try this to get your discrete nvidia gpu to work:

1) Stop ES

/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop

2) create 99-nvidia.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Section "Module"
    Load "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "1:0:0"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

3) Copy /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to /recalbox/system/.xinitrc

4) Add the following lines to /recalbox/system/.xinitrc inside the customisation block

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

5) Start ES

/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start

Please, send me the opengl string in system information.

Sduva

poke it would be a pleasure to try and help, I can try this in a week as I will be returning from holidays. I will let you know the results as soon as I return. Thanks

Hey ! I tried that because my 960m wouldn't be used even without the # in recalbox-boot.conf
It worked ! Dolphin tells me that it uses it but as soon as I shutdown my system all the changes are gone.
What can I do to keep thoses changes ?

EDIT : Well, it just doesn't work anymore. I tried to make a launch script to make this automatic via /share/system/custom.sh but without success.
Then I tried to do your 99-nvidia.conf trick again via SSH but, again, all I have is a black screen.
I even tried with a fresh new 5.21 standard image neither the "nvidiadriver=true" or the SSH commands work.
I'm really lost and don't know what to do anymore.

In case my laptop is an ACER VN7-791G-71PS and I run a standard batocera 5.21 image on an external HDD.

Edit 2 : The Revenge : I tried, with your Custom 5.21 image. I suppressed the "#" from the "nvidiadriver=true". It black screens. So I followed once again via SSH >99-nvidia.conf etc. And it works again opengl strings says "4.6.0 Nvidia 390.116"

I try to make a custom.sh to make it work at boot but it doesn't work, I'm not really familiar with Linux unfortunatly 🙁

If anyone has a clue I'd like to hear it.
Thanks everyone.

poke Did another build for dual gpus ever happen ?

I've been trying to get batocera running on my laptop which has a GT 555M and integrated Intel, following the instruction in this post it worked the first time and showed nvidia in the system information however I've only ever been able to get it to work once now it just errors out trying to start ES, I've even reinstalled and gone through again.

Sduva no problem. i am busy for the following 3 weeks.

t0nito_

Don't know why but that install line did not work for me, what worked for me was:

/recalbox/scripts/recalbox-upgrade.sh https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/users/poke-1,0/nvidia-driver-390.xx_x64/

poke

t0nito_ sorry. i think i use the new script name from 5.21.. 🙂

I came to thank that version. Only this version with the 390.xx driver worked on my GTX750. PSX2 running without lag.

Sorry for my english, using google translator.

KaratsuFr

Gman102 - i guess you have 2 output video - check if it's not better using the other on ?
when i first use the drivers on my GTX 560Ti i got big issue and all was slow by changing the display to the 2nd connector all went ok

the issue is the driver set only 1 output as accelerated...
