Hi, now i get a problem in my slackware64-current. As i wrote in the title of this thread, my pointer goes off on the right of my laptop display, but i can control the pointer. its like there are 2 monitor and we extend that display. But in my case, i didn't use other monitor except my laptop monitor.
This problems appear when I remove my nvidia propietary driver. I've reinstall the xorg and use my default xorg.conf when I install the slackware, but this problem still appear. Could anyone help me?

This is my xorg.0.log

and this is my xorg.conf

My laptop Specification

try installing arandr and check if there is other screen?

or try to set display resolution. nvidia has a command nvidia-settings, you can try to use it to configure displays.

Ok, I'll try it.

I've removed my propietary driver and this problem appear after I removed it. I removed the propietary driver because after i installed it, my desktop didnt appear.

You could have posted here with the initial problem and maybe resolved that instead. Plenty of people here use proprietary graphics drivers.

I installed a legacy nvidia driver myself, 304.119, and found that X wouldn't start.

Appending:

vmalloc=256m

as an additional kernel parameter in lilo solved the issue.

Could you tell me how to install it? i've tried from docs.slackware and i got problem in xserver. it didnt start. and sorry, i've removed the propietary driver about 2 months ago and i've forgot the error.

This worked for me installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.119.run (I have an old laptop/graphics card):

Download the the relevant driver from NVIDIA, boot up to runlevel 3 and login as root at the command prompt. Navigate to the folder containing the driver and issue the command:

# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.119.run

The install fails with a message that the nouveau driver is running and can't continue but if I want it will attempt to install a modprobe file to blacklist nouveau. Agree to this then reboot back to the runlevel 3 command prompt.

Log back in as root and then run the installer as before with the 'sh NVIDIA...etc'. It should then proceed and build the nvidia kernel module for you. Make sure you also let it run lilo for you (it'll ask you at the end of the process, I think it calls it the nvidia-installer). Once done, reboot and at the prompt 'startx' should get you in.

As I mentioned earlier however, X did still fail to start for me but adding 'vmalloc=256m' to lilo.conf and rebooting solved that. This is mine:

# Append any additional kernel parameters:
append=' vtdefault+utf8=0 vmalloc=256m'

Once again, run 'lilo' if you do this.

Just from memory but hope it helps.

Ok, at the end, I've solved this problem. I removed the xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and reboot the system. And after I log in, this problem doesn't appear.


Thanks for your tutorial, i'll try it next time, now i have too many homework.
