nvidia vs. nv driver


I've just installed a GeForce FX 5200 video card, and I installed the nvidia driver and everything(finally) went well. Now when I edit my XF86Config file the xserver will run with the "nv" driver but will not work with the "nvidia" driver. With the nvidia driver there is a random non-coherent display of characters on the screen in only black and white. Here is the XFree86.0.log file:


XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2)

to make sure that you have the latest version.

Does anyone know why the nvidia driver is not working?

i assume you have done what they say - ie changed NvAGP to 3, removed Load "dri" and Load "glcore".

at a guess, from what it says in the log, you havent configured your screens horizontal and vertical syncs. if you have your monitor manual (or can find out its ranges on the net) run xfree86cfg (i think that one worked best for me) and configure the screen. that was what i had to do to make my FX5600XT work.

Theres a sample working configuration XFree file for the nVidia drivers in:
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/xf86config.sample
Try using that.

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry for the delay, I had to post and run yesterday so I am just now reading everyone's thoughts. Tonight when I get home I will try to sample xf86config file and if that doesn't work I will then try to run xfree86cfg and see if that helps. If anyone is interested, here is my current XF86Config file:

# XFree86 4 configuration created by redhat-config-xfree86

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
#
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"

# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
