 Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 12:20 pm Post subject: xorg problem: no screens using nvidea geforce 6600 |
 |
|
I've just installed Gentoo for the first time, using Gentoo-Sources and I am using the 2.6 kernel. The problem is that I can't get Xorg to work, I have tried various methods and answered all of the appropriate questions correctly, given by xorg-configure and xorgcfg -textmode but when I try to run X with startx, or boot my computer, as I want gdm to run automatically, the screen just flashes on and off two or three teams in the case or a reboot or with startx I get a fatal error, saying that no screens where found.
I have even installed the nvidial-glx drivers and modified my xorg.conf for this, but that doesn't work either. Tried everything i can think of, and nothings worked. The network doesn't work without booting from the live CD too, so that makes trying to solve this that bit harder.
can anyone help me figure out whats wrong or offer a solution please ?
My computer specas are as follows:
cpu = amd 64 3200
graphics = nvidia geforece 6600
network = marvel 88E8053 PCI-E gigabit lan controller (yukon)
monitor = Avidav M1901D ( 19" TFT)
This is my current xorg.conf
