correct installation of drivers, but X doesn't work
Well. Again problems with nvidia drivers.
After fresh copy of Xubuntu installation, decided to install nvidia drivers immediately. First of all uncommented #deb http://lv.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe in sources.list. Then did udo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common it asked me to write password. And so I did it. After that ran sudo nvidia-glx-config enable which said the following: zivs@zivs:~$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable Password: Error: your X configuration has been altered. This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following command: md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section from nv to nvidia. zivs@zivs:~$ so i manually edited this "nv" to "nvidia". After that did a restart. And X window stopped responding - neither NVIDIA logo, neither xfce working - nothing. Below is the xorg.conf file how it looks when not X stops responding: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi" # path to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "lv" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "stylus" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "eraser" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection I've tried to comment out load "dri" but that didn't help. Any suggestions/ideas? thanks in advance |
please show us the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file that accompanies these failures.

First of all, use the real nVidia driver, from
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...-8762-pkg1.run then, as root: ./NV* follow the prompts, let the installer fix up your config files, wait until it is all done, do: apt-get install kdm dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common select kdm dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg make sure nvidia is the driver uncheck the glx and dri modules as long as you are here, make sure your monitor sync ranges are correct. Look on the specs for the monitor and find the horizontal and vertical sync ranges. Select advanced, when you get to monitor, and enter the sync ranges. Finish the whole xserver configuration. At the prompt: kdm and The nvidia screen should show. Then X will work. |
