can't quit x server and terminal on boot-up low res after installing NVIDIA driver

I'm working on setting up slackware, and installed dwm as my window manager. I noticed my x server was running kind of slow, so I installed the NVIDIA driver for my computer.

It fixed the problem but created two new ones. First one I believe was caused by the disabling of the previous driver that the NVIDIA install program did. When I booted up before, the terminal I booted into was high resolution, now it's a much lower resolution. I'd like to know how to fix that.

Secondly, whenever I use shift alt q or cntrl alt backspace to close dwm x server, it takes me to a black screen with no way to get out of it. I have no idea what might be causing this, only that it happened after installing the NVIDIA driver.

Well the first problem is that your computer was originally using nouveaufb (nouveau framebuffer). The second time it attempted to use nouveaufb, but the nvidia binary blacklists (or at least attempts to blacklist) nouveau for you so that the proprietary drivers will work because otherwise they conflict. You'll need to use a different framebuffer (likely vesa). I think vesa's max. is like 1024x768x64k though, and only uvesa provides a higher resolution but currently requires v86d and possibly grub(2).

The second problem I don't quite know for sure. Have you tried waiting a bit to see if X restarts? What runlevel are you booting into when you start Slackware?

I think the most I waited was 30 seconds. I'm in Full multi-user mode.

(also, how would I go about changing the framebuffer? I'm still pretty new to slackware)

When booting, hit the TAB key at the LILO screen and enter ' vga=ask' as a boot option. This should allow you to experiment with available resolutions. You can make the change permanent by editing /etc/lilo.conf with an appropriate 'vga=xxx' line and rerunning lilo. (I find 'vga = 795' works for me with VESA framebuffer console @ 1280x1024x64k).

If you are using the kdm display manager, try uncommenting the 'TerminateServer=true' line in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc. This forces the X server to restart after logout. I once had a laptop with an nVidia GPU that required this.

[edit]Note that the initial boot screen will show the video modes in hexadecimal, so you will need to convert that to decimal for entry in /etc/lilo.conf or else prefix the hexadecimal mode with 0x[/edit]

I'm not using kdm. I just use startx, DWM is my window manager.

Thanks for the help with the framebuffer though!

Here are some video modes for lilo, that you can put in your lilo.conf.
# Normal VGA console
#vga = normal
#VESA framebuffer console @ 1024 x768x64k
#vga = 791
#VESA framebuffer console @ 1024 x768x32k
#vga = 790
#VESA framebuffer console @ 1024 x768x256
#vga = 773
#VESA framebuffer console @ 800 x600x64k
#vga = 788
#VESA framebuffer console @ 800 x600x32k
#vga = 787
#VESA framebuffer console @ 800 x600x256
#vga = 771
#VESA framebuffer console @ 640 x480x64k
#vga = 785
#VESA framebuffer console @ 640 x480x32k
#vga = 784
#VESA framebuffer console @ 640 x480x256
#vga = 769

You can also add "video=640x480" to the append line for the particular kernel image you are booting. This will just give you a plain old fashioned looking text console and is usually proof against overscan underscan and all kinds of framebuffer gremlins.

Re the nouveau module, you might want to add:
Code:
blacklist nouveau
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf The Nvidia included nouveau disabler didnt seem to do the trick for me.

Alright thanks for the help with the framebuffer. What about the fact that I can't exit x?

When you type startx, you start a display manager and kdm is the default for Slackware. You configure the display manager to start the desktop environment/window manager of your choice.

I don't even have kdm on my computer. I'm not sure which display manager I'm using, but it's definitely not kdm.

If you're using startx then you're not using any display manager. allend's statement is wrong. 'startx' has nothing to do with kdm or any other display manager, it is a front end to xinit which runs an xinitrc file.

Either your xinitrc file isn't exiting cleanly or there is some sort of graphics driver issue when switching back to the virtual console. What happens when you hit ctrl-alt-f1 --> ctrl-alt-f6 once you get to the black screen?

Of course GazL is correct. i got it wrong. My apologies for the poor advice.

I do agree that this sounds like a driver issue which has been known to occur with nVidia hardware and drivers in the past.

Well hitting ctrl alt f6 doesn't do anything after getting to the black screen.

Sounds very much like driver issues then. What nvidia driver are you using and how did you install it?
Might help to post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log too.

Well this is something that has absolutely never happened to me before in trying to fix a problem...

I installed urxvt, while I was attempting to customize dwm, and played around with the settings, and in the process unintentionally fixed BOTH of the original problems I was having. I now have a great shell resolution, and can quit x just fine. I have no idea why, but hey, it worked lol. Thanks for the help everyone.
