Help Frame buffer screwed up
Hello guys, so here's the problem:
I upgraded the my system according to the security indications on slackware.org so I typed: upgradepkg kernel-source-2.4.24-noarch-1.tgz upgradepkg kernel-modules-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz upgradepkg kernel-source-2.4.24-noarch-1.tgz upgradepkg alsa-driver-0.9.8-i486-2.tgz sbin/lilo and all went fine.. Then when I typed startx I had an error from X about nvidia drivers so I typed : sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run and everything was compiled and installed correctly (as far as I know) and I could jump into X w/out any probs but....now everytime I logout or hit CTRL-ALT-F2 so when I basically try to use the frame buffer, I see nothin but some colored pixels scattered around my monitor. Can U help me PLS to solve this issue. Thx in advance. |
it's well known NVIDIA drivers bug
uninstall the driver you have now (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run --uninstall) download this one: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...6-1.0-4363.run and run it, this will (maybe :) solve your problem |
