 Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2014 8:50 pm Post subject: Xorg, Slim, dwm - blank screen |
 |
|
Hi ,
Thank you for reading !!
I use Slim display manager and dwm window manager with the Nvidia proprietary drivers (for performance).
I'm new to Gentoo (this is my second install attempt). I've followed instructions and Gentoo boots ok, Xorg is installed ok, latest graphics drivers installed, display and window managers installed.
The problem is:
When I run startx, or set slim to load at boot (which probably calls startx), the screen goes blank immediately (like a hardware change of monitor). Slim is configured to exec dwm on login (but I cannot see Slim because of a blank screen before it would otherwise load).
I get the exact same issue with my current OS - Debian - except Debian exits the blank screen and then shows me Slim. For the same reason, (with Debian) I am unable to use a logout function or switch tty shell without a blank screen.
Is there any known fix for this, or anything I could provide or do to fix this problem ??
Thank you,
Alexander

or
if genkernel was not used: | Code: | | make && make modules_install && make install |
, make sure any new kernel names are in trhe bootloader menu, for insurance | Code: | emerge xorg-server nvidia-drivers xf86-input-evdev linux-firmware
nvidia-xconfig
reboot |
