Re: NVidia drivers, X troubles (Debian 3, linux 2.4.18)
Here is my main problem: I've downloaded and installed the NVidia drivers/modules for the Asus video card I have in the AGP slot, but when I reconfigure xserver-xfree86, choose the nvidia driver then startx, I get a EE: no device found error. Have you tried modprobe nvidia? Any errors when you do? Or, when you run lsmod, does nvidia show up in the list? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

All went well, eventually. After updating my XF86Config-4 I tried re-starting x-windows. All I got was a black screen, no flashes of color, nothing. I couldn't see any consoles either and had to do a re-boot. My XF86Conig is below. The only difference between that and the one I'm running now is the driver name and the commented-out modules. The XFree86.log doesn't look that much different from when I was using the nv driver. I'll send it if anyone wants to see it. Thing is I've had nvidia working before, pre ACPI and pre this installation of debian 3. (I've installed it a couple of times now, just to get used to it.) So I'm wondering if it has somethng to do with ACPI. Has anyone had a similar experience, or got a clue Help gratefully recieved. Steve p.s.

I added the append line to lilo.conf and it worked! Don't know why I'm so surprised. I suppose it's because I've been battling with this for a few days now and didn't expect anything. There is little or no documentation on this phenomenon and the ACPI docs are rather terse about 'pci=noacpi', blink and you'll miss it. Couldn't find anything about it in the nvidia README's either. Maybe I've just gone a bit cross-eyed. Anyway, I now have x-windows back. Thank you. Steve. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: nvidia and X with 2.4.19
Why install the RPM package for the nVidia GLX driver and not get the nvidia-glx-src package and build it along with the nvidia-kernel-src package for the kernel patch... That is what I have working here on my AMD 1Ghz Athalon at work with a nVidia GeForce2 MX card... I haven't upgraded the kernel yet as I'm preparing to do a re-install because of some harddrive issues but I currently have nvidia-glx-src and nvidia-kernel-src 1.0.2960-1 compiled against a custom 2.4.18 kernel with EVMS and VLAN patches applied... This is working wit XFree86 4.1.0 as well... I haven't install'd any of the 4.2 pre-release packages on this machine...

This makes it much, much easier if you need to reinstall X or for the next owner if you sell the monitor. i never succeeded to use the nv driver I did, once, but it was fairly craptastic. nVidia and XFree86, Inc really need to team up on this one.

Re: nvidia + GL = X crash
Bostjan, What nVIDIA card are you using? Is it the Riva TNT2 M64? Make sure you are not loading the XF4 DRI module. If X is crashing, it sounds like an issue with the nNVIDIA driver. Make sure you are loading the kernel driver (which is actually a module) before starting X, i.e, check /etc/modules for NVdriver (or modprobe NVdriver). If you have this, then I suggest reading the readme files, and re-compiling the nVIDIA kernel driver. Mine involved changing a line that said #if 0 to #if 1. In my X setup, I commented out GLcore and dri in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I have also attached a shell script (thanks #nvidia on openprojects.net) which will check your OpenGL libs setup to verify that you do not have any unwanted files laying around. And to note, here's how your libs should look: /usr/lib/libGL.so - /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.5 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 - libGL.so.1.0.5 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.5 /usr/lib/libGLU.so - libGLU.so.1.3 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 - libGLU.so.1.3 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 - libGLcore.so.1.0.5 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.5 To verify this setup, once you have the NVdriver loaded and working, run glxinfo. If it crashes, then you need to re-evaluate your libs setup. Just for your information, I use woody, so I'm not sure what the effect of this will be on potato.

Re: nvidia + GL = X crash
Problems with an NVidia card and you didn't tell me? First of all, have you looked through the previous posts on this forum for any answers? Have you tryed them all? Second, it really, really, really sounds to me like you didn't specify which module to use. As root run 'lsmod' and make sure that the NVdriver module is loaded. Next, open up your config file. It's probably /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Make sure that its not loading the nv driver and is instead loading the nvidia driver. I believe that normal mesa doesn't work with the nvidia driver and causes it to crash when ever you try to startx(or whatever you do.) Using the nv driver it(mesa) works just fine and dandy. Mesa working (from what I understand) is not a good thing with the nvidia driver. Heck, mesa shouldn't even be on your machine (unless you can define all the time which GL driver to use.) If the above fails, check out my giant list of install/debug instructions to a guy with the alias of dude. It should be in the news letter archive (its pretty recent so you shouldn't have to look too hard.)

Re: nVidia geForce + X == error?
Is there an X server for geForce cards (specifically Asus V.6600)? Probing during Debian install did not detect a compatible card, it said... You may compile X 4.0.1 from source and nistall driver from nVidia (www.nvidia.com). It will give you the full power of hardware acceleration. -- Alexey Vyskubov (at home) Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
