Unfortunately, When i use nvidia-xconfig command, it generates a sample xorg.conf file and when i put it into /etc/X11 and restart gdm , just i see a blank page and it even doesn't access to you that use tty1, 2 to kill gdm.
Is my knowledge of nvidia-xconfig weak ? or nvidia-xconfig is weak?
Do you know nvidia-xconfig good tutorial?
I have little experience with nvidia cards recently. Doesn't sound like an issue with nvidia-xconfig, but with the drivers themselves. If possible, I suggest trying to remotely login via ssh after gdm starts and taking a look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
Dear adamk75, My problem has started when i want to export xorg.conf , Now , i don't have xorg.conf, But when i cp xorg.conf to /etc/X11 , i can see my gdm page, but login widget is disapear.
So you can see gdm, which is the login page, but you don't actually see the option to login? That doesn't sound like a driver problem at all, honestly, but sounds like a problem with gdm. Have you tried running 'startx' from a console to see if X starts with whatever your selected DE/WM is?
I performed your suggestion, At first switched to kdm and kdm doesn't work too when xorg.conf exist.Then i remove xorg.conf and uses startx and see everything is ok, then copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11 again run startx, but i didn't see login widget.
Certainly X has problem.
Yes, as I initially said, it sounds like a problem with the nvidia drivers. Above you posted an excerpt of your xorg.conf file which suggests that you are not using the nvidia drivers. If that's the case, you need to make sure your xorg.conf file is configured to load the nvidia driver.
And do you actually have six screens attached to this machine? Please show us your full /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from when you try to start X and simply get a black screen.
