Anyone know how to fix a nvidia slackware problem?
I installed the slackware nvidia driver and the kernel patch and it won't recognize my screen for some reason. Well that's at least what it says.
|
You installed the drivers from the repos? Which patch did you apply?
|
I applied the default one in slackbuilds. I did some reading and I changed some values in the xorg.conf file I will post the results and what I did if it works.
|
What I tried didn't work.
What I did was I ran X -config and ran from that file it created and it didn't work. Any suggestions. I could compile the slackware kernel I configured and run from that instead of a live cd, but that would take a hour to compile. |
Here is my xorg.conf file.
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig |
I do know a little about this driver. One it's a Geforce 5300 or something. It has two vga ports on it for two monitors. Next it's not new. It has 256 megs of ram. Next I got it for free. Last two things it's made by Nvidia, and the nv 2d driver works on it.

OOOK... so it's 5300, it's a legacy product.
You need to install 1xx version, the latest is 2xx, dont install that. See your card here. |
