Mmm, oke. Did you let nVidia configure xorg.conf automatically? Or did you do it yourself and what did you change in xorg.conf then?

I let it do it automatically. It did it correctly.

 

I didn't want to do it manually because I couldn't remember the location of the new config file - it's no longer at /etc/X11/XF86Config, I think.

 

EDIT : It's at xorg.conf in the same directory. Things have changed since I used Mandrake two versions ago.

I changed it manually. Will try to do it automatically, hopes it workes. Thanks for your input.

 

Hi

 

I had the "Fatal server error: no screens found" error. If you add these options to your xorg.conf 'device' section:

 

Option "UseEdidFreqs" "FALSE"

Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"

Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"

 

you might find a screen :)

 

The drivers installed for me but X was in 1152x864 resolution and the monitor stuck in 1024x768. Didn't get round to finding out what I had to change in the xorg.conf to fix it :D and went back to 8178.

 

The latest drivers handle refresh rates, screen modes etc. differently as far as I can gather. This might help:

 

Vertical Refresh with 1.0-8756

 

or other posts on that forum.

 

Hope I helped a little :)

 

Tried your modifications, but with no effect. X still won't start.

open /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root with your favorite text editor. look for the line:

Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so"

comment it out with a pound sign:

#Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so"

press return to get a new line and put:

Load "glx"

also...post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so that we can try to troubleshoot the issue.

Tyme,

thx for your reaction. The I've already tried the suggestions you made. But to be honest, I don't have that line in my xorg.conf. Isn't that line added to your xorg.conf after you installed the nvidia-drivers from the PLF-source?

 

As for posting my xorg.conf. I wish I would know how to do that. As I can't get X and therefor KDE up and running. That would mean I would have to manually retype my xorg.conf on another computer with which I can get onto the internet and post it here. I'm open for other sollutions though.

you can switch back to the nv driver in xorg.conf to get KDE up and running for the time being, just changed:

Driver "nvidia"

to:

Driver "nv"

in xorg.conf, using nano or vi. this way you can paste your xorg.conf for us.

 

also, the line:

Load "glx"

is required for nvidia drivers to work, not matter where you get them, so it has to be in your xorg.conf somewhere. be sure that you've followed all the directions here to the T (as the saying goes) to be sure the nvidia driver is installed and that xorg.conf is properly configured.

 

(i aplogize if i'm repeating previous instructions you've been giving, i'm just trying to make sure all the correct steps have been taken before we delve deeper into this thing).

Well, your configurations look fine...there doesn't appear to be any differences between the two that could be causing this problem. In fact, you should be able to use the same configuration from the first nvidia driver for the second, and if the first is working...hm.

 

You say you're having this issue with the most recent kernel from Mandriva? 2.6.12-18 i think it is?

 

Can you post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? I'm not sure if that filename is correct. Be sure to try starting X right before you grab this file to post.

Hi again

 

Thought I'd have another go at installing these drivers and found this which helped a great deal.

 

I changed all the - Virtual 1152 864 - lines to - Modes "1152x864" - and it worked.

 

The trouble is if you run any programs that want to change the screen resolution (like a game, enemy territory in my case :)) it no longer does it automatically like it did before. So I changed - Modes "1152x864" - to - Modes "1152x864_75" "1024x768_85" - (including the vertical refresh rates that the old drivers had used) and everything works much like it did before.

 

I don't think it's ideal though and wonder why nvidia changed the way their driver works?

 

Maybe this will help :) Maybe not :D Linux is funny like that :huh:

 

BTW, this is without the options I mentioned in my previous post :)

 

cya

nvidia didn't change how their driver works, the virtual lines aren't the usual way of setting resolutions - I don't know why mandriva does that. here's my section of xorg.conf for comparison purposes:

Section "Screen"
Identifier	"Default Screen"
Device		"NVIDIA0"
Monitor		"F-17"
DefaultDepth	24
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		1
	Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		4
	Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		8
	Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		15
	Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		16
	Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		24
	Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
EndSubSection
EndSection

If you add more resolutions to the Modes line they will be usable.

Yes, the most recent stable kernel from Mandriva is 2.6.12-18mdk. But I also have 2 copmuters with the most recent cooker-kernel 2.6.14-2mdk. And with those two I have the same problems.

 

This is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Hopes this helps. This is with the latest nVidia-drivers (8756). The ones which don't work for me.

BTW. I don't understand the "nvidia-auto-select"-part. Is this new in the nVidia-driver and what does it do?

it has to do with your mode settings, as was suggested before. reference this post if you haven't already attempted that fix (if you have let us know). also, if you let us know what type of monitor you have we should be able to put together some better modelines for you xorg.conf.

Oke, it works. Partiallly.

KDE starts up with a resolution of 1600x1200. Not a pretty sight, though. I normally run a resolution of 1152x864 on this screen @100Hz. But now I can't get a resoluiton higher then 75Hz. I probably have to change them manually in my xorg.conf.

 

I still find this strange. Is this a bug in their new drivers when used with Mandriva? Because with the old drivers I never had such problems.

i think it's mandriva using a non-standard xorg.conf configuration. but that's just my guess.

 

a little later this afternoon i'll try putting together a better xorg.conf set up for you that might completely resolve this issue. right now i have class :)

@Tyme: that would be great. Thanks. I'm looking forward to testing your "xorg.conf".

 

@Scarecrow: I'm doing the same. I'm using the old drivers for now, that would be the 8178-ones. I still prefer the 8178-ones.
