Commenting Option "UseFBDev" "true" didn't work.But i'il post my mandrake XF86Config-4 latrer.
EDIT:
I just want my debian running.

My mandrake 'XF86Config-4':

hylke - I am having the same problem right now.

I have tried using the

Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"

but it still went nuts. The "Load "glx" " is also in place. I have posted something in the nVidia forums and am awaiting a response. If you find out anything, please post it for the rest of us, I'll do the same for you .

Thanks,
Zace

Install the nVidia Drivers and follow instructions in their README file. You have to use "nvidia" as the driver for your video card.

nVidia installation is pretty straightforward.

HTH

Mandeltuete:

I know, but if I do that my computer will not load in the X Server. It gets to the end of the boot sequence and then crashes into the console. Thats what hylke and I are trying to solve...how to get it to Driver "nvidia" and still have it work ^_^

@Gamezace & hylke
Are you a team? Or have you both the exactly same problem? :S

@hylke
Well, the Debian XF86Config file is wrong. First you have to change Driver "nv" to nvidia, and then you have to remove Load "GLcore" and Load "dri". Or have you posted your old XF86Config file?

Have you tried your working Mandrake config file in Debian?

Anyway, the XFree log tells you that you are using the nv driver, rather than the nvidia driver. As I said, install the nvidia driver, and change your config file. If you have done that allready, and you say it crashes to console, you will mostly find a pretty good error message on your screen. Tell us that message, please.

@mandeltuete

Heh, nope - we are two completely different people with the same problem.

I haven't seen the directions you gave anywhere else, including in nVidia's readme. I'm going to print them out and try them out the next chance I get. The "Load 'GLcore' " and "Load 'dri' " deletions, specifically, are new. Thanks for the help thus far...I'll be posting soon enough in response.

As always, thank you.
Zace

Look closely... you vid card is not supported by your current driver.

Solution:
- Upgrade your drivers. Nvidia provides them directly from their web site. ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html )

To be able to get this drivers installed you NEED to install the kernel-headers pakage for the same kernel version you got running.

To find out kernel version:
~$ uname -a

getting headers pakage (Debian way):
~$ apt-cache search kernel-headers
# apt-get install kernel-headers.x.x.x
~$ cd /usr/src
/usr/src ~$ tar -jxf kernel-headers.x.x.x

now you can proceed to install the nVidia drivers


Work-arround:

# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
- select the 'VESA' driver
- enjoy your shiny GUI

PS.
the simbols '~$' means the comman line as regular user
the simbol '#' means the command line as root

I, burned my nvidia driver on a cd to install my nvidia driver, i thought i didn't need to install those headers because i didn't had to do that with my mandrake.But you where right.
But the problem is, i don't have an internet connection on my debian(neither on my mandrake).
So how can i update my kernel on my mandrake(i hope it isn't bigger then 1.44 mb because then i need to write another cd).

No idea about the RPM's you might use, but kernel source tarball is about 30 MB.

If i have downloaded the source, how do i compile the source?
Using the g++ compiler or something?

you dont need the source tar ball (unless i am mistaken)
What you need is the headers package. The headers package if for precompiled kernels (like the ones used in fresh installs).

From WinXP (if that is your case) go to debian.org in the package section search for the corresponding headers package. Burn it.
Then on debian you mount your CD. move to it. and type:
~cdrom# dpkg -i kernel-headers.x.x.x
~$ cd /usr/src
you will see the tar ball for the headers there

Ayyyy! I got the problem solved!

Here is what I did. I learned that the "no screens found" error simply means that a good combination of hardware settings could not be found. So I checked out the XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files. I knew I wanted my moniter and desktop to run at 1600x1200, so I edited it (see code below). I then went into XF86Config and chose a moniter setting that I wanted to use. I copied all the information about it, and put it into XF86Config-4 as the only moniter setting available (note that the setting here must match with the setting listed in the "screen" section). See the code below to make sense of all this:

Notice I forced the screen to ONLY run in the mode I wanted by only listing those possible options.

I hope this helps you out hylke!

I know it sounds stupid, but which from all those kernel things from http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/ do i need to download?
If this doesn't work i'il try Gamesace way because i don't fully understand it :-D

ok, i found a header, but it gave some errors.Is it because i installed the wrong headers?
Here's a list of packages: http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/
Somewhere out there, there are some headers.But wich one do i need?
thanx Hylke
