PostPosted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 11:22 am    Post subject: nvidia module problem: unable to startx Reply with quote

After completing a stage 3 install, I have updated my kernel to 2.6.8-gentoo-r3, emerge sync'ed, updated portage, updated gentoolkit, and (last) emerged nvidia-kernel. All appeared to have been successful. System is an Athlon-XP 2600 on an Asus A7N8X-E motherboard with an Asus V9180 GeForce4 video card.

I have set up an xorg.conf file, then did "modprobe nvidia", and checked to see that lsmod actually does list the nvidia module (although there is a - under "used by"; i don't know if that is normal). But if I try to startx, it fails, and reports these errors:
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

(I'm not sure, but the "No drivers available" may refer to the mouse.)

I CAN start X if I delete xorg.conf and just run with the defaults, but obviously that's not optimal.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Please, can you post your xorg.conf?

Is your symbolic link /usr/src/linux pointing to the right kernel (probably /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3) ?

Sorry to piggyback, but I'm having the same problem...

Well, shouldn't you change the nv driver in the device section for your geforce card to nvidia? Portage tells you this when you emerge nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel. See the nvidia readme for more info.

Roog is right... Try to change this line:

Code:

    Driver      "nv"



to

Here is the xorg.conf I've been trying (the relevant sections):

Code:

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

#    Option   "Protocol"   "Auto"

# When using mouse connected to a PS/2 port (aka "MousePort"), set the
# the protocol as follows.  On some platforms some other settings may
# be available.

#    Option "Protocol"   "PS/2"

# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris), use
# the following instead of any of the lines above.  The Device line
# is not required in this case.

#    Option   "Protocol"   "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some older Logitech mice.  In

#    Option   "BaudRate"   "9600"
#    Option   "SampleRate"   "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

# MY ENTRIES FOLLOW:

    HorizSync   30.0 - 96.0
    VertRefresh   50.0 - 160.0

# and there were others, with gradually decreasing refresh rates

# On the other hand, at http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl, if I make the
# appropriate entries to "maximize resolution" at 75Hz refresh rate it gives me:
#    Modeline "1488x1116@75" 205.00 1488 1520 2296 2328 1116 1137 1151 1172

#         with horizontal sync freq of 85.41 but only 69.5Hz refresh rate
# If I ask for "1024x768" (which is what I use most often), I can get up to 115Hz with
#         horiz sync freq of 92.84 with the following modeline:
#    Modeline "1024x768@115" 155.98 1024 1056 1648 1680 768 780 794 807
#
# there's also a command: gtf h-resolution v-resolution refresh
# Using that one I can generate various modelines, including:
#    Modeline "1024x768_115.00"  131.43  1024 1096 1208 1392  768 769 772 821 #hsync 94.42

Sorry for the original post of my xorg.conf -- its been edited to prevent confusion. I accidentally posted the one that DOES work for me (i.e. I can start x if I use the "nv" driver, but not the "nvidia").

When it *is* actually set to nvidia my X server fails with the following:

Welp, on a hunch I went ahead and re-emerged nvidia-glx again. Note that I say *again* so I don't look dumb here... I already re-emerged it before I posted here. This time it started working. *shrug*

What's nvidia-glx? I've been following the directions in the Gentoo Handbook and emerging nvidia-kernel.

The nvidia-glx package contains the glx extensions needed for 3d acceleration. If you enable glx extensions in your xorg.conf, you need to emerge this package.

I have not enabled glx.

Should I try nvidia-glx anyway?

Instead of, or in addition to, nvidia-kernel?

nvidia-glx depends on nvidia-kernel. I have installed both and x starts.

looks exactly like my problem (could be a double-thread?):
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=170008&highlight=

i still have the problem with glx:

Code:

gentoo root # emerge nvidia-glx
Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the x11-base/xorg-x11 package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

gentoo root # emerge --pretend nvidia-glx

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] x11-base/xorg-x11 (from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6)
[blocks B     ] x11-base/xorg-x11 ("virtual/x11" from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6)

[ebuild  N    ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496


but i don't have xfree installed at all....

I found this additional documentation referenced in another thread, so I'm working my way through the instructions here
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml

and I got to the very end of "Configuring your card" where it says to
run opengl -update so the X server will use the nvidia glx libraries, so I ran:
Code:
opengl -update nvidia

and I got:
-bash: opengl: command not found

?????????

What now?

It is:

Code:
opengl-update nvidia


there is no space between opengl and -update.

I think the problem is you compiled your kernel with gcc 3.4.x and the nvidia_glx modules compiled with gcc 3.3.x, so you must rebuild your kernel with gcc 3.3.x

I have met this problem, but solved use this method

Some progress:

I did
emerge -C nvidia-kernel
to uninstall it. Then I did
emerge nvidia-glx
then
modprobe nvidia

I put
Load "glx"
in xorg.conf

and also fixed the mouse entries there (it works, so I'll omit the details).

Now Gnome starts up OK (except for the garish nvidia logo that it starts up with), and seems to work OK, except when I log out,
the screen goes haywire & I have to do a hard reboot to clear it.

By the way, that happens whether or not "glx" is loaded in xorg.conf: I tried with it and without it. Makes no difference.
Any more ideas?

y'know, this may not be necessary to ask, but are you all using ~ARCH versions of the nvidia stuff? i've heard that the 2.6 series doesn't work well (or at all) with ARCH versions.

Ahh, the simplicity of Linux.


A SIMLINK to a directory is a file, the obvious way is

rm manual

(no trailing slash for a file)
