A quick question:

Is there any particular reason to that? Actually I've gentoo-sources-3.2.1-r2, so obviously not the last one, but it works well. |

|
|
Hi,
I've followed the advice at the start of the thread but cannot get X to work. My card is the following
| Code: | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] (rev a1)
Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. Device 1557
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
|
At first (I'm working on a fresh install) I could boot my PC and use the console, and when I started X I got a fatal error with something like "screen not found".
I found this thread and followed the advice given, but now I cannot access the console. The PC boots ok but the screen goes black very quickly (and I get an information like D-SUB no signal). It is not responsive to the keyboard nor to the mouse.
The only way I have at the moment is to ssh to my box and fix the configuration, but each reboot leaves me in the same situation.
Here is my dmesg with I hope all the relevant lines and stripped from the rest

I have found a possible explanation at http://www.berberblog.com/?p=33. I am running Linux version 3.3.8-gentoo but is seems this kernel version has issues with KMS / nouveau. I will update to the latest (unstable) kernel and will report.

I have now installed gentoo-sources-3.4.4 and it seems to work fine now. On to installing XFCE!

Ohhh this seems to be a good reference!
I have to switch from nvidia driver to the open-source one due to I have to stick on a particular nvidia-drivers (since a new one is known to not work with my card) and so I have conflict with xorg-server (that nvidia-driver support only xorg-server 1.17) and xf86-input-evdev that wants xorg-server 1.18
I am trying this guide out...

The OP dates back to 2011. Is the information still valid? |
