Hi,
I’m having trouble getting K2 and Xorg to communicate properly.
The environment:
- HP Proliant DL380 Gen9 server
- Matrox G200EH onboard
- Nvidia GRID K2
- No physical displays connected (only physical connection is to the Matrox, all configuration done through iLO)
- Linux RHEL 6.7 (Linux RHEL 7 also tested with no luck)
Steps done:
- Blacklisted nouveau and successfully installed Nvidia proprietary driver (both 352.41 production and 358.09 beta tested, same result)
- Allowed Nvidia installer to create xorg.conf
- startx -> Error, no devices detected
- Re-ran configuration utility with extra flag: nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus
- startx -> Error, no screens detected (no other errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, devices i.e. 2 GPUs properly detected now with the added BusID options)
- Re-ran configuration utility with additional flag: nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus --allow-empty-initial-configuration
- startx -> No errors, but a black screen. /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn’t show any visible problems, Xorg seems to be happy
But, "nvidia-settings" from command line still pops-up the NVIDIA X Server Settings window and tells me that "You do not appear to be uisng the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file and restart the X server".
I can see the same if I createa a VNC server and connect to it using a VNC viewer. A desktop is shown fine, but running glxgears or nvidia-settings will result in errors telling me that the Nvidia driver is not loaded.
Is GRID K2 supposed to work at all in a non-virtualized environment? I’m more than happy to provide all additional information needed.
Best regards,
PM
