I just wonder if it works with you. What I've learned from my experiences so far. is that installing nvidia driver, can bee relatively easy :) I tried to build manually with my stock kernel but it didn't work, since the nvidia driver couldn't build. I don't know why but I followed Andrews guide(http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html). However, building nvidia drivers as a kernel module works fine. I actually did build nvidia 1.0-7676 driver this way, but it was too unstable. > > I've discovered funny stuff: > > 1. When I kill gdm and restart it as root from the > terminal - it works.

It works > sometimes. Yes, you might be right, but when you do reboot then auto-login will not work. When I do a quick reboot(shutdown -f now) after disabling and enabling gdm, then it works. However, this differences that affect the gdm auto login, makes me wanna learn more about what's going on when you do a normal boot and a quick boot.. > > > I've found a very simple solution: Don't use the > normal autologin > feature.

I think this is a good solution, since I used this option as well. But if you change your mind, here is a easy mini-howto, which will perhaps solve your porlem. I skipped the 6th step, since I've installed the linux kernel source. And if you have the kernel source, then you can build a nvidia module, by typing "make-kpkg modules_image" as root in your current linux kernel directory(ie /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8/) After that, you can follow the other rest steps and you'll realize how easy it can be to install the nvividia driver after all, without module-assist. And don't forget to load the nvidia driver before reboot! The nividia howto is can be found here: http://saraf.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/nvidia-driver-howto.html Good luck and please share the result! I would like to know if this works with you as well. Ali __ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.

Hi, Mike was right about modules-assist, since the new nvidia-kernel that I compiled manually(make-kpkg modules_image) works fine with gnome login manager! ali __ Yahoo!

Re: nvidia driver overrides gdm.conf AutomaticLogin !??
Hi Mike, you assumed right, I did actually use module-assist and everything works fine except this gdm auto-login. I did what you said, and it didn't work after reboot. But the interesting part is when I quick boot with the "shutdown -f now" command, autologin seems to be working. And this makes me wonder if it can be the nvidia-kernel or something like that, which is causing this auto-login failure. Any ideas?? /ali --- Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Works fine here. i'm running nvidia 1.0-7174 > unstable. Just for grins i'd > try unsetting the autologin in the gnome login > manager, hit ok.

nvidia driver overrides gdm.conf AutomaticLogin !??
Hi! I've been searching in google and reading docs without any result in solving this irritating problem I have. When I replace the "nv" driver to "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf file, nvidia seems to change or override the gdm.conf so that each time I boot I end up in gdmgreeter insteed of gnome desktop. I don't understand it since AutomaticLogin is enabled in gdm.conf. I mean, I can automatically login to gnome sesssion with the nv driver, but now with the nvidia. Does anyone know if this is a nvidia or gdm bug? I am currently running debian unstable, linux kernel 2.6.12 with nvidia 1.0-7174 driver. I hope I make sense and that it's a bug, since I've told that nvidia per se doesn't affect gdm, since it's only related to xorg, and goes nothing further than that. /Ali __ Yahoo! for Good Donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
