aze Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 (edited) Hey guys. I'm using nvidia driver 53.36 (latest) I installed and it was running ok. And then with no reason mandrake do not starts X anymore. It says "could not found any screen". I checked /etc/X11/XFREE86-Config-4 file and everything is ok. What could be happening? Im using mdk 10 Official thanks for any help [moved from Software by spinynorman] Edited June 21, 2004 by aze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 check /etc/modprobe.conf and see if alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia has been removed. It's an mcc bug of some sort. If it's not there, put it back and do modprobe nvidia startx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 (edited) I remember that when facing the same situation as described by aze I inserted nvidia in /etc/modprobe.preload and the problem was solved: [william@poseidon william]$ cat /etc/modprobe.preload # /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. # this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY # for old kernel use /etc/modules nvidia mousedev scsi_hostadapter intel-agp I couldn't see any alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia in my /etc/modprobe.conf. but the driver seems to be working properly: [william@poseidon william]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias eth0 eepro100 alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio options snd-intel8x0 enable=1 options NVdriver NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=0 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe usb-storage; /sbin/modprobe imm; /sbin/modprobe ppa; /bin/true install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install snd-usb-audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-usb-audio && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true remove snd-intel8x0 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 remove snd-usb-audio { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-usb-audio Legal esse avatar, aze!!

aze Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hey guys! Everytime I start my pc i have that X could not be started due to the issue above. I added the line at /etc/modprobe.conf: modprobe.conf alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia alias eth0 via-rhine alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true remove snd-emu10k1 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1 but when I restart the computer the line alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia is removed from that conf file and the I need to make all the poccess manually. Also, my eth0 has the same problem!! what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 It's a bad bug. I have the same problem everytime I do anything with MCC, including installing updateas! If you re-run the nvidia installer, it fixes that. I don't know about the ethernet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
