bvc Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=1997 :wink: What drivers are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted January 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 i using the latest nvidia driver for linux the program added some lines to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. If you couldn't run it but you're using nvidia driver try that Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR (generic)" Driver "nvidia" Option "DPMS" Option "NvAGP" "3" Option "CursorShadow" "1" <---- Option "DigitalVibrance" "255" <---- EndSection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Thanks aze, but I have those, Option "DPMS" "off" Option "NvAGP" "0" Option "CursorShadow" "on" Option "CursorShadowAlpha" "64" Option "CursorShadowXOffset" "5" Option "CursorShadowYOffset" "2" Option "DigitalVibrance" "3" I was more or less interested in antialiasing, anisotropic texture filtering and vsync to blank. What are these commands, in the config file? (if you know) I just rebuilt and reinstalled the 4191's and it's still a no go. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Cool program! I can finally use twinview woohoo :D Works great too. BVC i installed the new nvidia drivers last night. Compiled rebuilt them both from the source rpms, downloaded yanc and did a ./install.sh as root still as root typed yanc and it worked fine (after making backups of my xfree86 config files of course). No idea why you wouldn't be able to get it to work :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 I'm clueless to :? The actual error is YanC was not able to obtain nVidia driver infos from the proc-device. Either the nVidia driver is not installed correctly or you use a to old version of the nVidia driver What exactly is proc-device? I found /proc/devices that has a "195 nvidia" entry. Does anyone have a /proc/nvidia?

johnnyv Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 i have 195 nvidia too in devices /proc/nvidia ? i don't have that i have /proc/driver/nvidia and /proc/nv(isn't used). When you were installing the new nvidia drivers did you remove the NVIDIA_GLX rather that try to upgrade it(aparantly upgrade doesn't work properly for the GLX rpm) rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX rather that upgrade?

bvc Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 I don't have a /proc/nv. Know how to create it? Or is is just a blank file like many others? Yes, I always remove, never upgrade nvidia. I keep a separate folder for the kernel versions and driver versions as well. Though on ML9.0 I only have the default kernel and one custom.

johnnyv Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 you don't need /proc/nv as far as i can tell just has a file in it that says this isn't used any more look in /proc/driver/nvidia i cant see why you cant get it too work. :? I install the new drivers via nvidia's readme (the previous drivers were install via DOlson's tutorial). I had to remove <dri> lines from /etc/security/console.perms then chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia* chown root /dev/nvidia* So i could use opengl as a non root user. And that was it. BTW i didn't have a problem with permissions when i followed DOlson's tut on the 3123 drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 I had to remove <dri> lines from /etc/security/console.permsIsn't that the line that has caused some to not be able to boot and go into rescue mode to put the line back? About once a week I have to do chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia* chown root /dev/nvidia* in order to play games as a user. BTW i didn't have a problem with permissions when i followed DOlson's tut on the 3123 drivers i never had a prob with the 3123's either.

MottS Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Nice prog ! For /etc/security/console.perms, you have to comment out 2 lines in order to be able to boot properly with a runlevel 5. Here they are: .... #<dri>=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx* .... #<xconsole> 0600 <dri> 0600 root Then you can chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia* chown root /dev/nvidia* You shouldn't have to do it again after ...

bvc Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions everyone! MottS, thanks...now I won't have to screw with chown and chmod to play a game :) yanc still isn't working though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 This looks like a nice little program. Mandrake should include it in the next distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
