'glxinfo | grep render' indicated nvidia driver not properly installed.
installed it and am having problems. install indicated it went ok but now
system boots to command line. i've switched back to my original xorg.conf
file and changed the 'driver' setting from 'nv' to 'nvidia'. that works but is
only a single monitor setup.
using my attempted dual monitor xorg.conf file 'glxinfo | grep render' now
yields:
Code:
error: unable to open display (null)
startx yields a variety of errors:
Code:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failure to construct a valid modes list: no modes remaining.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
then i'm back at my root prompt. here's the xorg.conf i'm using when i get these
errors.
