new install: won't start X

[papaschtroumpf]

installed 2007 (I had to manually partition the HD so it would have enoguh room).

Now it appears to try and start X but fails and gets to a gui login.

how do I troubleshoot this?

 

I chose the same video card as in 2005SE, I did ask it to automatically install the nvidia dirvers, was that a mistake?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when will linux distros finally get installs right?

So I get something is wrong with nvidia support. hmmph. how do I fix ot short of re-installing?

[papaschtroumpf]

I changed nvidia to nv in my Xorg config file and I now am able to log in graphically

still pissed Mandriva couldn't get it right

I want Hw acceleration too, I play games on this rig

 

... heading over to nvidia web site, see if I can install from there

Been awhile since I've done Mdk2005le but I had full glx and hw accel. My vidcard is BFG 6600agp GT OC. Looks like your drivers didn't install right (I agree with your rant). If I remember right with 2005le I did use the nvidia supplied drivers but now with 2006 and 2007 I use dkms-nvidia drivers from plf.

 

Do the nvidia install but you'll need to make sure you have the correct kernel source installed. If you're fresh install out-of-the-box you should be OK. 2005le would let you update the kernel without correcting all the pointers (like /usr/src/linux) correctly so you have to poke around to get the nvidia installer to find the correct kernel source if you've upgraded.

 

If dkms is available for 2005le you might try it. It's a lot easier than a full kernel rebuild.
