Re: [expert] nVIDIA driver breaks X in 9.1
I had the same problem... The module nvidia doesn't autoload the first time after the installatiion... Go as root in terminal and type : modprobe nvidia and then kde. does it loads fine? If yes I found that a good way to auto load it was to enter root again in terminal and reinstall the driver again without removing it... Sorry I didn't found any more delicate way but I am very newbie in linux...

You can install it again a after reboot, if X does not start, login as root and launch kdm or gdm. if nothing happens try startx and see what it says: some libraties could be corrupted good luck __ Do you Yahoo!?

I'll go back through it again later this afternoon and make sure.. I did look over the XF86Config-4 and it looked OK except for replacing nv with nvidia, which I did.. I didn't look at modules.conf as there was no need the last time I installed these drivers.. The sh script name is 4349 but I'm sure it was 4363 that came up when I was installing.. Like I said, I'll give it another go later today and then post the result of my trials.. -- Ken Thompson - WA7SYR Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] nVIDIA driver breaks X in 9.1
Did you install first X and after NV driver? I'm not sure but probably glx is overwritten. However the last release of NV is 4363.

This 9.1 is a > standard install with updated through mandrake-update. I've got the 4349 drivers working fine here with v9.1 and an Nvidia Geforce Ti4200. You'll probably need to post the -exact- text from the error message so we can see what is happening. Did you do all the usual? I mean, after installation, setting the nvidia stuff in XF86Config-4, modules, and modules.conf. Did you also do a "depmod -a" after all that? Here are my files (only showing relevant Nvidia stuff though): [EMAIL PROTECTED] X11]$ cat /etc/modules # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line.

[expert] nVIDIA driver breaks X in 9.1
Howdy folks, I installed the 4349 nVIDIA drivers yesterday and poof, no X. The Xserver just cycled through opening to a background to console and back. After it finally gave up there was a message about not being able to load glx.something-or-other.o Any clues as to why?? I installed it just fine in 9.0. This 9.1 is a standard install with updated through mandrake-update. -- Ken Thompson - WA7SYR Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
