Fatal Error: No screens found
I'm probably way too stubborn but I have tried to install Nvidia closed source drivers on many distros, and three different machines always with basically the same problem.
I remove all traces of the open source Nvidia, kill X, and install. It goes smoothly until I let it update with nvidia-xorg config. As soon as it does that, slim won't start. If i delete xorg.conf it loads x without a problem, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not using Nvidia drivers. The only error I can find is in my /var/log/slim.log "Fatal error: No screens found" I have a core i3, and a Geforce GT 520M, When I type lsmod I see both i915 and nvidia loaded, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are doing anything right? How can I tell. As for using xorg.conf. I see so many post of people who seem to effortlessly get this working? what am I doing wrong here? |
Study /var/log/Xorg.0.log. There must be an error raised somewhere which likely provides the answer.
You can also try to blacklist i915 in /etc/modules/blacklist.conf. Not 100% sure about directory and filename, so check where other modules are blacklisted. Also check this thread, I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it is a pointer for you. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ia-4175424128/ jlinkels |
You know whats kinda strange.
I can't seem to blacklist i915 I created /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist added blacklist i915 and restarted X nothing Both are still there. |
I just checked, and indeed /etc/modprobe.d is the correct directory. I added the file blacklist-nouveau.conf and it contains the line blacklist nouveau
Obviously you should use i915 instead of nouveau. I am not sure if the .conf extension is mandatory. To unload the module restarting X is not sufficient. You must rmmod i915 but chances are this is impossible. Then restart your machine and look again. jlinkels |

The i985 and nvidia drivers can, I believe, co-exist in the same system since the hardware is different. |
This works in archlinux
