hi
i installed the nvidia drivers today. and WOW! for me, nv was the default thing but full sreen movies sucked. i had to change the modeline to get the screen in the middle too. reverted back to the original values when i installed the driver and everything looks crisper too.

just one thing, the logo. i can't get it to go away! in the /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA...README file, there's a section on options (app D). it saysso what's boolean? i've tried "1", "TRUE", "True", "on". what else? (NoLogo = 1 means Logo = 0, right?) :P

1 means true.
0 means false.

I assume 0 would mean off.

Give "enable" a try and see if that works.

Edit: I searched around and saw a couple of examples like that. Don't know if they actually work though.

Good luck

Just give:

Option "nologo"

What they said should work, but I usually like to keep the logo because that way I know the driver is working. It doesn't really hurt to have it pop up.

doesn't work.

@At0mic_PC: i know the booleans of 1 and 0. the word/variable here is "NoLogo". unless this was stupidly named, 1 shoulg be NoLogo (and 0 would be NoLogo = FALSE hence Logo = TRUE)

@Atmchicago: once it's up and running, i'd rather not keep seeing it. coz i switch X on and off quite frequently. if i set runlevel to 4 and i see the logo just once, then it's fine.

Did you try:

Option "NoLogo" "enable" ?

The manual says to use the following:

make sure that you have it inserted in the right spot in the file, though, or it might not work well....

abs,

Nvidia drivers are great but that logo screen is evil.

I tested the following driver options, running slack 9.1, 2.6.1 kernel, and nvidia 5336 stuff:

Option "NOLOGO" "1"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "nOlOgO" "TRUE"

Each one prevented the logo. Option "NoLogo" "True", of all choices should have stopped the screen from showing. So maybe there is a typo or error somewhere else in your config file. Or you might try reinstalling the drivers. If you can't get the logo to go away, post XF86Config.

"Boolean" gets its name from George Boole, the grandpa of modern logic; predicate calculus around 1850. In general boolean means something with two exclusively possible values.

Looks good. Bools usually get (true or false) and (0 or 1+); where a value=0 means false and a value >=1 means true.

yup. doesn't work.

doesn't work either. i found that in the man page too. i've put it in the "ServerFlags" section.

lol i know what a boolean is. i meant what does it need to be in that file so it's understood. and yes, the logo is quite a pain.

also, <= -1 is also true. in most programming languages that i know of, true is NOT false i.e. non-zero. dunno about how fractions type-cast to int/bool.

It seems like that is not good.
I saw in another forum that it should go in the nvidia device section and it also said:
Option "NoLogo" "on"

Try moving to just below the - Driver "nvidia" - line, maybe.

Good luck...

I have

Section "Device"
# ...
Option "NoLogo" "True"
# ...
EndSection

I got it to work. I put it right underneath the line that reads
and it works.

yup, worked. thanks.

the Device section appears twice. in the first, there's a Driver "vga" line and it's Driver "nv" in the repeat of the section. i changed the nv line as per the nvidia docs and added nologo line below the VideoRam line.

just changed the "vga" to "nvidia" also to see if there's a diff.

edit:
no apparent diff.

I think you'll see a change if you run glxgears with each driver.
