I feel I have done everything to get my NVIDIA graphics card running, I have installed the drivers, put glx in to modules in the XF86Config-4 file and changed "nv" to "nvidia".

Everytime the computer starts X the screen flickers for a few times before leaving me with a screen that has a few blue lines at the bottom and nothing else but black.

The last line in the XF86 log file is

(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024"

I have disabled AGP and I get rid of the AGP error but the screen is still black with a few static blues lines. The odd thing is that I can still SSH and VNC in but everythig is very sluggish and the computer won't reboot or shutdown.

In the BIOS I have assigned an IRQ to the VGA, set PnP OS to yes and Auto assigned resources but still no luck.

Please help!!!

Did you "insmod nvidia" (or "modprobe nvidia" for the 2.6 kernel)? And add "nvidia" to the etc/modules (or equivalent file for your distro) file and run "update-modules"? and re-enable agp.

I ran "insmod nvidia", I did add NVdriver to the modules folder with no luck but have now added nvidia.

It still comes up with blue lines and I don't know how to update-modules if that is the problem. AGP is re-enabled since it doesn't make any difference anywho...

Can you post your XFree log as well as your XF86Config?

I think you need a modeline for the resolution you have chosen 1280x1024. I didn't see one in there. Might try a search for your laptop here:

http://www.linux-laptop.net/

and see if you can find an example XFree86-config from someone for you laptop.

knute
12-26-2003, 01:05 PM
I don't know much about the modelines, but what would happen if they were all commented out of the XF86Config-4 file?

I've read posts where the modeline was the whole problem, and if it's wrong, it could be.

My 2cents,

BTW the computer isn't a laptop, I don't know why it says Sony Vaio in the config file it was there when I got here.

It works if I change "nvidia" back to "nv" without any other changes, I'll see if anyone has a config file for my monitor. but considering this computer won't reboot through SSH I feel the problem is more than the monitor. Maybe I have this all wrong?

That would mean that you don't have the nvidia drivers downloaded.

If you go to http://nvidia.com and go into their drivers section, they have the linux drivers installer available. It the ia32 that you need if I remember correctly.

Here's the link to the download page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-5328

(Newer drivers than what I have... Hrmmm... Time to update!!!! ;) )

After you download it, execute it from the console, and it will extract and walk you thru the process.

They are version 4496, I have also tried the latest version. I might try another GeForce card and see if that works. This current card worked fine on my last motherboard but it is getting a bit old being a lowly GeForce MX 400.

Do you have framebuffer support turned on? You could try turning it off... My only other suggestion would be to reinstall the drivers and try again.

I'm having the same problem since reinstalling Linux even though it worked perfectly about six months ago. At the moment I'm running Linux without any OpenGL support so if anyone could help us that would be great.:D
