Nvidia driver in slackware 13.37?
I have installed nvidia driver in slackware 13.37 and it works fine.. well at least i know it installed correctly, the thing is that when i try to load kde in normal mode it freezes when is about to load the K, i only get a blurry blue K and then it stops loading. i can only load it on failsafe mode.
does anybody know what can i do? |
Did you install extra/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist?
|
Did you do a full install? Are you running the huge kernel, or have you switched kernels to the generic kernel?
Have you tried any other desktop? Give xfce a try, and see if you get a desktop. |

I've had this problem before in slackware 13.1 but i thought it was a bug on that release, i guess there's got to be something else... |

Are you sure the Nvidia driver is running? Have a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and verify in the Section "device" the Driver is "nvidia". Here is what it looks like on my system...

Here is a link to a nice easy to read How To. -->http://genek.net/LinuxAdventures/sysadmin/index.html See the section on Basic Setup, it describes how to switch kernels. Not hard at all. |

Please provide some details of your system by posting the output of:
'/sbin/lspci' - to provide the graphics card details 'uname -a' - to show the kernel details as well as the name of the nVidia driver package that you installed. |

I have once had a similar problem with a machine that first had a on-board display card replaced by a proper display card ..
The only I could fix it was to delete the /home/%USER%/.kde directory in the home directory .. Hope it helps Lawrence |
Hmm, weird. All that looks just fine and dandy.
I have an almost identical device running with the same kernel and have no problems. I must admit that I have not bothered to update the nVidia driver since version 260.19.44 If the nVidia installer has worked correctly, then the nouveau driver should have been blacklisted. Did you allow the installer to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? You should only need a section like this: Code:
Section "Device" Code:
Section "Extensions" |
