 Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:32 pm Post subject: Check my xorg.conf please (GTX 970m) |
 |
|
Hey all,
I have a new laptop with a GeForce GTX 970m (yay Optimus!) and I keep failing to get X to start. I finally think that I have the kernel configured correctly (maybe) and the appropriate modules, but an improperly configured xorg.conf. I have tried several different ways and get several different errors. I’m hoping someone can help me spot what I’m missing. I'm using 390.42 drivers. I also followed the Gentoo Optimus wiki.
Thanks for any help!
With only 10-nvidia.conf found here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus/xorg.conf I received a seg fault!! I don't get seg faults with different configurations.

I also tried this slightly modified version of xorg.conf from nvidia-xconfig, but couldn’t work my way around a screen not found error

paintchip,
Optimus is one and a half graphics systems. The nVidia chip cannot refresh the display, so you either use Intel alone or Intel to refresh the displaf and nVidia to do the drawing. Trying to use nVidia alone always results in a blank screen.
That means your xorg.conf has a bit missisg as there is no setup for the Intel driver.
Well, you will use modesetting for Intel.
See the wiki Optimus page.

Thanks Neddy.
I just wanted to give an update, as I finally figured this out. I decided to give Bumblebee a try, as I was having a lot of difficulty getting just the Nvidia card to work, and I discovered that I had missed a kernel option for the Intel card. Even after I did that I was getting a black screen, but X wasn't giving me any errors. It turns out that it was just an issue with TWM and switching to KDE worked like a charm.
So, double check your kernel options and try a different WM/DE.
Now I just need to figure out why the nvidia module won't load at boot, even though it's listed in conf.d/modules and loads fine with a 'modprobe nvidia' after boot. But that's a completely different problem:D |
