I finally got X to work! I had to download the drivers directly from NVidia's website.
I got errors during the install of it, but it worked anyway.
I still can't get my touchpad to work.  The mouse-test app doesn't seem to find it either. I don't know what else to do about it, a usb mouse works fine. |

load the synaptics module and take the settings you need in the xorg.conf from someone that got it working here. mine is:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "LeftEdge" "20"

EndSection

you also need to load psmouse and evdev as modules and load evdev first of them.
i suggest you use /dev/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 and just place them in order.

Yes it is true but i have here the 64 bit drivers for windows http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=186
I have a question what about the cd burner with the kernerl 2.6.12-r6 i can't did work it.....
And how i have to install synaptics when i run the command startx xorg don't start and i recive this message:
Mouse1 no synaptics event device found
Mouse1 The evdev kernel module seem to be missing
Cannot open /dev/input/mouse2
In order to install synaptics i have only started this command

I'm having problems with my X configuration. I want to run in the native 1280x800 mode, but when i startx, it says my hsync for that mode is out of range. I have the latest drivers (nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1).

|
|
I have a zv5000 that belong to a friend of mine. He has had trouble with it shuting down on startup and while he is using it. This comp has crashed at least 3 times. My brother has reformatted the hard drive and did a freah install back in July. The problem persisted and here I am doing the same thing. I thought my friend was doing something to cause this so I took his laptop and brought it home with me. I have done the fresh install and everything seem to be going fine. I was just plum thrilled. I shut it down and each time it started up just fine. The next day I tried to star it up and the dang thing kept shutting down in the middle of startup. It will even shut down if I hav it on and nothing is being done to it. I have decided that the reason the comp eventually crashes is because it is turning off without going through the proper shutdown routine so many times that it is losing files and its mind. *S* I have tried working with HP but they have not been any help. After enough failures it will come up asking to start in safe mode, continue starting as usual, or last known good... I usually choose this one.
I am not a computer person but I can usually troubleshoot.
Has anyone else had this problem?
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks

Could be thermal problems--automatic shutdown. Or some other hardware trouble. I don't think it's related to software. You don't have too may options.
Are you even running Gentoo? |
