Etch - Black screen with nvidia drivers.

Hi all.
I just tried to install the drivers for my nforce 430/geforce 6150 videocard(nvidia). I did exactely as the
Debian Wiki , but, once the pc restarts, i obtain a black screen at x server loading. I cant see anything, but i can say my monitor remains ON which means it receives a signal else it would turn off itself after some seconds. I tried also lowering H/V refresh rates, but it didnt help, i got the correct refresh rates with the command xvidtune, and those work fine, i use em in windows. I checked it doesnt load DRI. I re-installed again...still black screen at startup. Tried reconfiguring the xserver with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", it didnt work. No idea how to fix it.
I also have a problem with the resolution and refresh rate, it seems once logged-in i can only chose a couple of resolution (1024x and 1152x, sometime only 1024x) and only a refresh of 75 or 85hz, when it should be much higher, like 120 at 1024px.
This is my current xorg.conf(if i use the nv driver it does work, framebuffer ON of OFF it doesnt work both ways):

Okay, change your settings back to the nv driver at 1024*768 so you'll have something to look at
I've tried installing the nVidia driver the Debian way (I used the same wiki you did), but it failed several times so I did it the tried and trusted way of nVidia's own installer. Some have problems with that and report it as "buggy" but I found it's quite stable.

When you try to log in and get the black screen, you can switch to a terminal prompt by holding Ctrl+Alt+F1. Log in and change you nvidia to nv or vesa.

If you are using the nvidia driver, why would you use the option of FrameBuffer Device?
I would remove this line as fbdev refers to a NON-accelerated video driver, which to my thinking would be a conflict.
Quote:
fbdev(4) is a non-accelerated driver which runs on top of the fbdevhw module. fbdevhw can be used by other drivers too, this is usually activated with `Option "UseFBDev"' in the device section..
Also according the the manual for your monitor the refresh rates are as follows. .
HorizSync 30-110
Incorrect setting in these refresh rate fields can cause your display not to function properly..

Thanks for the replies.
Fixed refresh rates with those values. About "UseFBDev" i just tried it to see if it works, well it didnt (btw thats the framebuffer im talking about in my first post).
Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesnt seem to work since i still see a black screen. But thanks anyway, i already accessed linux and edited xorg.conf from Windows with the ext2 driver and i did substitutued nvidia with nv. With nv or vesa it works. I just cant get it to work with the nvidia.
So, at the end, still black screen. This is my current xorg.conf:

EDIT: At least now i can select more resolutions, the strange thing is that there are lots more resolutions that i've actually selected in the xorg.conf O_o. The only refresh rates selectable still are 75 and 85hz. Hmm.

When X is started CTRL+ALT+F1 will not get you to a terminal.. their how-to's drive me nuts because they jump around and split up the parts of the install process.. CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to a terminal then log in as root /etc/init.d/gdm stop nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf # load "dri" "nvidia" /etc/init.d/gdm start

Re-installed following your mini-guide, but still got black screen.
edit: it's not a tragedy because i can use the nv driver, but with the nvidia it works smoother and i dont understand why i shouldnt be able to use it. I read somewhere googling that there's a bug with a certain driver version. Since i dont know what version i installed, how could i try another version, maybe an old one?

you could purge the nvidia-glx package then go download the Linux driver directly from nVidia and install it.. How about the newest version ?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
Drop to a shell
CTRL+ALT+F2
Login as root
/etc/init.d/gdm stophttp://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...-9755-pkg1.run
Follow the prompts through the install script, you can let the script modify your xorg.conf (since we backed up your original in step 2)
Once the script completes successfully the driver should be installed and working.. I don't believe you need to reboot, so go ahead and try starting X again..
/etc/init.d/gdm start

Ok, tried that but i still have only 52hz, 71 and 72hz selectable. But maybe i didnt configured the xorg.conf correctly, do i have to delete the other resolutions? This is my current xorg.conf with the mode-line added:

from looking at several well commented configs it appears you should change the modes in the "Screen" Section to match the mode-lines you generated.
Code:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1152x864_100.00 " "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection

Well, I'm glad to hear that someone else is having the same problem, I thought I was the only one.

Well this thread is pretty complete..
covering both the Debian way of installing the drivers as well as the nVidia method..
Follow along and see if it will help resolve your issue, then post back in your original thread (referencing this one as things you've tried.) and hopefully we can get you up and running too
I've used both methods for installing drivers on Etch and they both work, so theres hope for your system yet

I've tried installing the nVidia driver the Debian way (I used the same wiki you did), but it failed several times so I did it the tried and trusted way of nVidia's own installer. Some have problems with that and report it as "buggy" but I found it's quite stable.
