 Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2003 4:28 am Post subject: NVdriver problems with LCD |
 |
|
I have a ViewSonic VG150 and a Geforce2 GTS. The "nv" driver works fine, and everything displays ok. OpenGL doens't work obviously.
I emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and changed my XF86Config file to use the new driver.
Now, when X starts the display is really messed. Looks like 1024x768 on a 640x480 virtual screen. But if i power cycle the monitor or use the monitors OSD menu to "auto-config" suddenly everything looks normal.
Any ideas?
thanks!

No body?
Come on, I know someone has a hint/clue. This is my wife's machine, I'm trying to convince her she can do without windows. So far, linux via gentoo has provided everything she wants but when she encounters things like this she has no clue what to do.

post you XF86Config-4 file
that use to happend to me on my laptop ...
I end up manually removing the nvidia.o then doing a emerge -C nvidia-kernel, rebooting, then emerge nvidia-kernel
I think the part that help me was that I manualy removed all the stuff even some configuration files from my window manager ... in my case is enlightenment ... so I removed the file: ~/.enlightenment
that worked for me ... good luck

ok. I don't have an XF86Config-4? I've always just edited /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Right now I'm using KDM on her machine, she wouldn't know what do with a CLI.
