Re: x window?$B$,N)e$j$^$;$s!#
Hello 'wadaminoru'! His 'x window' doesn't boot up and he asks for guidance. He already tried 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' but this didn't help. He feels sorry for asking, but does anyone have a hint for him. He uses a NVidia 'G-fource3' graphics card. wadaminoru, please note this list's language is english. Sorry, I personally don't know much about graphics cards... Cheers, Flo PS: I CC you as I don't know whether you are subscribed or not. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I believe there is a dummy driver called 'nv' that you can choose from during the set up. In order to get NVidia 3D support you need to download the kernel headers and get a script from NVidia that will compile and install the driver for you. Then select the driver 'nvidia' for your X11 configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If he's into rolling his own kernels, and uses kernel-package, it's a dream to set up. Otherwise the kernel headers need to be installed to build the driver. Other threads have come up recently on this, too. I didn't track them, though. Sorry.

Sorry, I personally don't know much about graphics cards... Cheers, Flo PS: I CC you as I don't know whether you are subscribed or not. I have a NVidia MX-440 and I use NVidia's driver 4496. I also have Backstreet Ruby (multiple users on one box with multiple X servers) but I don't think that matters for this to work. I download the closed-source driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-4496.html and do as they say. That creates a module in ../kernel/drivers/video. I put that module (nvidia) in /etc/modules (I run kernel 2.4.23, patched for Backstreet Ruby) So then he loads nvidia when booting. I run woody but compiled my own X4.3.0 because there are no binaries for Backstreet Ruby and Woody, but that should not matter. I attach XF86Config-4 as a bzipped file, that identifies the driver as nvidia in the device section. Should run as advertized.
