 Posted: Thu May 29, 2014 4:54 pm Post subject: Nvidia driver not working |
 |
|
I guess this is technically a new build. I've been out of the admin game for quite some time. I built this laptop about a year ago so I could take some development stuff on the road with me. I need an X-server now though, so I followed the guide, trying to set it up for Nvidia. When I try "startx" I get the Fatal server error: No screens found. Perhaps I'm missing a step? Time is of the essence here so I can't wipe the machine out and rebuild it. Well, I can, but something "out of the box" like Centos is going on if I need to take that route.

kiss-o-matic,
Xorg will searh the OSS drivers for you. To use a binary blob you need an xorg.conf to tell Xorg to load it.
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia 9800"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection |
should be enough.
The Identifier is not important but it is required and must be unique.

Your lspci says:
| Code: | ...
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
...
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
... |
It looks like your laptop uses the optimus intel/nvidia combination. I don't know much about troubleshooting optimus but maybe try setting VIDEO_CARDS="intel" in your make.conf instead of nouveau/nvidia, for now. Your xorg log says there are some abi mismatches so you might have to recompile xorg-related packages. |

epsilon72,
Well caught!
kiss-o-matic,
You only have half an nvidia graphic s solution. Thats the half that can draw into the pixel buffer. It cannot read the pixel buffer to the screen, so at best, using the nvidia driver alone will get you no error messages and a black screen.
Make the intel driver work first, without the nvidia chip. The hard bit is then to use the nvidia chip to do the drawing and the intel chip to refresh the screen.
Anyway, walk before you run. Set up the intel driver as a first step.

Thanks guys. I actually thought that might be it but did the lazy search: "lspci |grep -i vid" and only saw Nvidia.
Anyways, running it w/o xorg.conf doesn't work. With xorg.conf still doesn't work, but is a bit better. This is the output from Xorg.0.log

Did you emerge the x11-base/xorg-drivers ? Or at least up date them? |

kiss-o-matic,
nVidia alone will never work for you.
Read the nVidia README file, chapters 33 and 36, from memory and look at the bumblebee project.
