dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
I where told to use that command to fix problem to get my damn stuid Geforce2 Mx card to work with Debian...
But what should i write when this setup up guide ask me for wich bus type to use???? He wants something with pci:00:00:00 or similar... But i uses an Agp slot, how should i write this ?? /HooX/ :newbie: |
I am a no0b myself but when I setup X I used vi, a text editor, from the command promt to manually enter the data needed.
I would suggest you google your graphics card and Debian to see what setting to use and the drivers... Just copy a working setup into the config file instead of using the GUI setup. Hope that helps. |
I have an NVIDIA something or other AGP card and when I run the dpkg-blah xserver command
I also get something along the lines of pci:00:00:00 and I've always ignored it. I was given instructions by a debian guru for this command and he said the only thing I would need to alter was the amount of graphic memory on the card - it doesn't seem to autodetect it. The other thing I change is to remove the check mark from the dri module - which is for ATI cards - afaik. |
well, simply ignore the dpkg-blah....
first, go to www.nvidia.com and download the nvdia drivers for linux if you haven't done already. if you follow the readme instructions, everything should be fine... maybe you need some of the nvdia-* deb packages (apt-get install...), but I'm not quite sure about it, since my install was some driver-versions ago, new drivers are installed by simply reexecuting ./nvidia-installer-bla.sh here are my relevant /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 lines, but this should also be explained in the readme: Code:
