I'm attempting to bring up a new system. Processor is AMD Phenom 1055, running on a Sabertooth 990FX motherboard. Graphics card is an NVIDIA GEForce GTX550Ti.
If I start X with twm, the xserver connection is made, and TWM comes up correctly with three Xterm windows. I note that I get two errors reported, (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load module "dri2" (Module does not exist, 0) /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 62: xclock: command not found The first error is definitely on startup, but the latter could have appeared on exit. I have a file 20-nvidia.conf in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory with the following information Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce GTX550 Ti" BusID "PCI:5:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Module" Disable "dri" Disable "dri2" Load "glx" EndSection If I add exec startkde to the top of the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, then startx fails to start. I get the same dri2 error as above, but also get startkde: Starting up... Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) kded(13865): Communication Problem with "kded", it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " I verified using /etc/init.d/dbus status that the dbus service is running. Same for consolekit. /var/log/kdm.log shows one error, repeated for each startup attempt. KCrash: Appication 'kdmgreet' crashing.... KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/drkonqi directly Server Terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. Any assistance gratefully received. Thanks Jeff
