well mine xorg.conf looks like his

Then you haven't read the article properly.

grimx · 04-27-2010, 05:52 PM

i'm using the driver, kernel i downloaded using sbopkg.

zordrak · 04-27-2010, 05:53 PM

Your conf is still bad.

grimx · 04-27-2010, 06:02 PM

errrr

Once it’s done, you should find yourself with a new xorg config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf; but don’t start X back up just yet, you need to strip some lines out of the xorg.conf so as not to confuse X. In Slackware 13.0+, xorg takes its information about your input devices from HAL (see Slackware 13.0 – Xorg + Hal). NVidia doesn’t acknowledge this and adds default entries in the xorg.conf it creates for a mouse and a keyboard.

i did what he said:
goto tty6, init 3, remove those lines(i take the input lines)
then run startx and x never shows.

luckly i backed up xorg.conf/xorg.conf.bak.
and x starts up, no problem.

>.<

Then you probably didn't remove the "InputDevice" lines in the "ServerLayout" section.

grimx · 04-27-2010, 06:20 PM

good point.

zordrak · 04-27-2010, 06:22 PM

I'm going to sleep. Needless to say the link gives you step by step every single thing you need to go from a clean Slackware system to one with a properly installed and configured nvidia driver.

So long as you actually read it properly.

grimx · 04-27-2010, 06:25 PM

well you'r right i did forget those and x started up.

Your profile says Slackware 64. If that's the case, your xorg.conf looks funny for a 64 bit system:

Code:

Section "Files"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"
EndSection

Notice the path.

Mine looks like:

Code:

 FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/cyrillic/"
    FontPath        "/usr/lib64/X11/fonts/TTF/"
EndSection

Did you change the ARCH variable and download the proper driver for 64 bit?

the desktop cube works.
