Nividia Driver Problems
I installed all of the nivida drivers correctly and configured my X86config file to get it up.
I get the flash screen for the nivida logo but I cant put on 3d accelration or select a higher resoultion. how do I finsh the install so I can configure my card to do 3d accelration ? |
How do you know you don't have 3-D? Open a terminal and as root, type glxgears and see if you get a good frame rate (over 1,000 fps is OK).
What distro and how are you trying to change resolution? |
If you followed NVidia's instructions, and you are now getting the logo when you start up XFree86, then it sounds like you've done everything you need to.
Check the log files: /var/log/XFree86.0.log /var/log/XFree86.9.log See if there are any error lines (that begin with (EE)) which might say that 3d acceleration isn't working. If there aren't, and you followed the directions and edited your XF86Config file correctly, then you are probably good to go (unless 3D performance is really bad - what kind of video card do you have btw?) |
I ran the commnads as you suggested and I got over 4000 on the gears so I think my 3d accell is on which answers my question.
I guess what I need to know is how to change my monitor rez on a gefource 4 ti 4200 runing red hat 8 thanks ----------------------------------------------------- and I am trying to cheng my resoultion using display x |

Hope this helps, Rick |
well here is where I run in to trouble
in display their are only two monitor resoultions avable to me. And when I try to run Xconfig I get a message saying that XF86 is still running. I have tryed to add the lines in my Xf86 config file and when I reboot starx runs in to problems and I have to roll back my settings. :Pengy: |
X is already running?
Quote:
If it says that X is already running, then you could just kill that process. Find the PID from `ps -ef' and `kill -9 PID'. Then try startx again. Rick |
yes I fixed it
I was trouble shooting when I came across bogus values when I logged on in in stright shell Bogus Values returned ID: none Modle" None Horz Sync : None Vert Synce: None this came up when I did redhat-config-xf86 and it turned thouse vales so what I ended up doing is adjusting the vert and hroz syncs by looking up my montor values *I have a gem 17 in LCD* and it fixed my problems you all rock thanks for the support |
A problem with Nvidia and Agpgart..
Hmm, I have a problem with Agp too, When I try to run X with agpgart enabled,
(Option "NvAgp" "X", the X either 1 or 2), the display goes f_cked up, I get strange ASCII-shit all over the screen, and end up rebooting.. It doesn't matter if I use nvidias built-in agpgart, or the one that I HAVE compiled as a module. Naturally when I try Nvidia's, I have the agpgart module that came with kernel unloaded... The only way that my driver works is with "Option "NvAgp" "0", and I want to get it up and running... :p (Getting only 2128.600 FPS whit a system of 1,4Ghz Athlon, 1Gig of Ram, udma HD and a G4 Ti 4200... Something Wrong? ) |
Go to
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl and plug in your monitor's specs. I only get 750 fps on an AMD Athlon 700 MHz with Geforce4 MX 420. When ever I right click on the glxgears window, my fps is near 1000. |
Hi Subservant,
Cna you please tell me how you fixed that problem you had with Nvidia. I got the same problem! |
I meant Can you please tell me in detail how you fixed it.
I have Suse 8.0 though but I guess the solution would be more or less the same! Thanx |
Go into your X86Config-4 or X86Config file and setup your monitor. You can put what ever you want. Just make sure you put in the values correctly or your monitor may not display the pretty colors.
Here's what my X86Config-4 file looks like. Code:
# File generated by XFdrake. Do not forget to check your logs. Mine is located in /var/log. |
I installed the latest driver for my Nvidia Quadro4 900GLX graphics card. But:
When I enter load glx in that XF86Config file for 3D, it complains that the default color depth is 16. It allows up to 24 bit color depth without 3D acceleration. What is the maximum color depth you could have for 3D? Also, It does not allow me to change back and forth from 3D acceleration if I use Nvidia driver and glx. the screen goes blank !! |
at least...
Hi!!
Sorry... but I can't help you... I would like to do it, but instead I have to ask you how did you configure Xconfig file, because I wasn't able to do it!! :-( THANKS :-) .al.varo.castro. |
