 Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2003 10:00 am Post subject: nVidia 4x.xx drivers don't like me |
 |
|
I'm getting really annoyed at this now. I have never managed to get any versions of the nVidia driver higher than 31.23 to work. I can emerge the drivers, and load the module fine, but when I start X, it just freezes the whole system and I have to reboot. If I go back to 31.23 with the same settings, it all works fine again. I'm using a GF3 Ti500 on an A7N8X, and I also had this problem with the same card on an Abit KR7A. Does anyone have any ideas? This is the last few lines from the X logfile using the newest drivers: | Code: | (II) Loading extension TOG-CUP
(II) Loading extension Extended-Visual-Information
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
(II) Loading extension X-Resource
(II) LoadModule: "dbe"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdbe.a
(II) Module dbe: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.2
(II) Loading extension DOUBLE-BUFFER
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so

This was posted in another thread on the new drivers, but I thought I'd put it here as well. I added | Code: | | Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV" |
to the Device section of my XF86Config, and now X starts in less time than it took with the older drivers.

| keep in mind that the kernel module is named nvidia now, not NVdriver, so you'll have to modprobe -R NVdriver and modprobe nvidia instead. |

I had all that done, but it was just taking so long for X to start that I though it was crashing.
