Not sure what is going on here or how to start fixing in 10.04
 
I am at a loss here:confused:. I recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 with my multimedia pc. Now xorg is busted and this frustrates me. not only that but using aptitude never works since it is old and that makes downgrading xorg difficult.

colorpurple21859 05-04-2010 07:45 PM

10.04 uses the nouveau open source driver for nvidia cards, rename your xorg.conf file to something else and see if xorg will auto detect your video card.

Hart02 05-05-2010 05:51 PM

No good still
 
1 Attachment(s)
no go on the rename. I made another custom kernel which would have added some features that i might need. it boots but it now flickers. tried changing the xorg.conf driver. still no good. The log file is to big to put in this post:(

What happens if you change the driver in your xorg.conf from "nv" to "nouveau" I have a nvidia 650se video card and your xorg.conf file seems to work with the "nouveau" driver on my computer.

Hart02 05-05-2010 10:56 PM

it is flickering now
 
Well for one i am using ndivia driver 173.14.25 now and this script to compile the driver into new kernels.

Code:

brian@bmansmediacenter:~$ sudo cat /etc/kernel/postinst.d/update-nvidia
#!/bin/bash
#put in postinst.d and header_postinst.d

# Set this to the exact path of the nvidia driver you plan to use
# It is recommended to use a symlink here so that this script doesn't
# have to be modified when you change driver versions.
DRIVER=/usr/src/nvidia-driver


# Build new driver if it doesn't exist
if [ -e /lib/modules/$1/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ] ; then
    echo "NVIDIA driver already exists for this kernel." >&2
else
    echo "Building NVIDIA driver for kernel $1" >&2
    sh $DRIVER -K -k $1 -s -n 2>1 > /dev/null

    if [ -e /lib/modules/$1/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ] ; then
        echo "  SUCCESS: Driver installed for kernel $1" >&2
    else
        echo "  FAILURE: See /var/log/nvidia-installer.log" >&2
    fi
fi

exit 0

and at one point I compiled a module called drm into my kernels which is related to nouveau i believe. I am not sure if the drm module is needed. I think i will uninstall that. not sure how to remove it from my kernels I use a custom kernel because it can only use 384MBs of ram.

it sort of works

and i did this with blacklist

and now my issue is the resolution is off center. It is to far to the right I am not sure how to fix that yet. any ideas?

MIJ-VI 05-15-2010 05:02 AM

OP, with any operating system I've used, a comprehensive backup of personal files followed by a clean OS install is the way to go.

In the case of desktop machines, installing a new OS onto a 2nd hard drive (each drive being partitioned with a storage volume for backing up/archiving files), and dual-booting with the old OS until the new one proves itself is a further prudent approach to avoiding temporal torture. :)
