| How are you trying to switch drivers and what's telling you that you're not loading the nvidia mdriver? |

| You don't change video_cards, you change the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf; in the section "Device" and on the line "Driver" you place in the " " the word 'nvidia' |

when changed the value of the Diver to "nvidia" but X does not start
here is the default value "Devise Section" of xorg.conf
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
# sw_cursor is needed for some ati and radeon cards
#Option "sw_cursor"
#Option "hw_cursor"
#Option "NoAccel"
#Option "ShowCache"
#Option "ShadowFB"
#Option "UseFBDev"
#Option "Rotate"
Identifier "Card0"
# The following line is auto-generated by x11-misc/mkxf86config
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
# BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection |

Change the driver entry back to nvidia and try to startx. When it fails, run | Code: | | grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
and post the output. |

this is what i have got:
| Code: | (WW) waring, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so
(EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (loader failed, 7)
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) Failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) NVIDIA (0): Failed to initialize the GLX module: please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA (0): log file that the GLX module has loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA (0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If
(EE) NVIDIA (0): you continue to encounter problems, please try
(EE) NVIDIA (0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
(EE) NVIDIA (0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA (0): ***Aborting***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. |
is there an easier way of posting the outputs if i am in the CL. i have typed all that, i know it is stupid but i just do not know a proper way to do it.
