I started a thread a while ago about looking for an accelerated video card. I went and got an ASUS EN210 Silent PCIe card and followed the instructions at the Gentoo Nouveau wiki. I have not been able to get X running yet. Trying to launch X with startx blanks the screen, and I can't get it back. Note that the machine does *NOT* lock up, rather the video gets disabled until I reboot. I can ssh into the machine. It appears to be working fine. If I...
* start a root text console in TTY8
* switch to TTY9
* startx
The screen goes blank and I can't get graphics or GUI, no matter what
I do. I can ssh in from another machine and things look OK. As a
matter of fact, I can {CTRL-ALT-F8} and blindly issue the command
"reboot" or "halt -p", and it gets executed. The attached Xorg.log file
shows nothing wrong. "Xorg -configure" does generate an xorg.conf.new
file, but screams about...
====================================================================
(EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
Server terminated with error (2). Closing log file.
====================================================================
The Gentoo Nouveau wiki says that message comes either from disabling
DRI (which I didn't do) or from the wrong opengl. I only have the xorg
version. Any ideas? Do the proprietary Nvidia drivers work with kernel
3.2.12? I'm running with mdev instead of udev. Would that make a
difference?
