nvidia driver question

the_sLiDe · 11-07-2004, 06:07 PM

Ok so when i change the line "nv" to the line "nvidia" and type startx i get this:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): ***Aborting***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

I assume that this means my kernel has no nvidia module compiled...and so i wanted to know (if that was it), what module it is....for the next compile i make...thx!

If you ran nvidia's installer, the module should have been installed with it. Try

Code:

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/video/nvidia.ko

, and if it's there, be sure to "modprobe nvidia".

Ok thx i fixed the problem...now for 1 unrelated questions...
1. How do you store alsa settings again?

You're welcome, and by using "alsactl store" ("man alsactl" for more).

Hmm...that's wut i thought...but it says:
"alsactl": command not found....
