Slackware-Current x64 & x86 + Nvidia
Greetings,
Been having some issues running both flavors of Current and the latest stable and BETA Nvidia driver. My PC will lock up hard and I have to do a reset, ugh.......... When I change my xorg.conf to use "nv" rather than "nvidia", the lock ups cease BUT when using KDE all seems to be well until I try to open up the menu. All I get is the menu border, if I right click on the desktop to select "Run", the dialog box take forever to draw and when typing in a command, the dialog box only shows the border. When I use Xfce using the "nv" driver, no problems at all but when I change it to "nvidia" I get the system lock up. I have taken a look at the logs and do not see anything. This one has me stumped...... My next step is to compile a fresh kernel, not sure what that will do but I need to do it anyways. DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know things may not work the way they should with Current. |
They just came out with a fix for nvidia a little while ago.
I don't know if it relates to your problem or not but you may want to look in to it here: ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/.../ChangeLog.txt If your slackpkg won't do an "slackpkg upgrade-all" then "grissiom" has a fix for it at post # 12 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ackpkg-727378/ |

I went ahead and put 12.2 back on my desktop PC, left Current on my laptop which is using the Intel drivers, running great on my laptop. |
I've gotten those Slackware64-current updates, and the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05-pkg2.run driver still does not install: Code:
Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface |
Are you sure you have the latest version, I managed to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.51-pkg2 easily with the --ui=none option.

So what does this file /var/log/nvidia-installer.log tell you?

Thanks for the reply, samac. I did not have the latest version,
so I installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.51-pkg2 and had no problems at all. |
