GUI - Another Nvidia question [solved]

Recommended Posts

simply because it's what I read in this how-to:

http://www.linux-wizard.net/howto.php?sect...&key=nvidia#agp

 

sotwares evolve and I don't know if it is still necessary ...

 

for your problem, was the installation held well??

 

it sounds like you don't install the drivers!?

 

Sorry just re-read my original post I will try that option later

it sounds like the kernel is trying to run the riva module which is by default for nvidia cards. this happens to me everytime I install the nvidia drivers

 

i think you can use

modprobe -r riva

but check before trying -- it's been a while since i did that, or you can go into the kernel and uncheck the riva module and all will be well

To whomever is having problems, please post your /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file

Mine looks like this:

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface

-> License accepted.

-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li

  ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f

  rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)

-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;

  this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for

  your kernel.

  xorg.conf file as appropriate; see the file

  /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for details.

 

Read the last paragraph. It says the Nvidia driver installation is complete. If yours doesn't say that we need to look at why.

Also look at /etc/modprobe.preload file. mine looks like this:

# /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

It may have other lines but IT MUST HAVE THESE TWO BOTTOM LINES.

Let me know where you're at!
