 |
|
Hello
I have an nVidia TNT2 graphics card with TV out and are trying to make X (xorg) run with only a TV connected to it (i.e. no monitor). I have installed nVidia kernel and glx drivers (version 1.0.6111), following the setup for X and nVidia described on the Gentoo documentation pages.
I have seen issues in other posts where a shared IRQ address is causing trouble so I checked and apparently my nvidia card is sharing IRQ with my NIC on eth0.
When booting up the computer the TV out works just fine and I can use it as a regular terminal. But when I run startx, the screen goes white and stays that way. Additionally, when X has started, I can't switch to other tty's (by pressing e.g. ctrl-alt-F2). The server does not respond to the kill signal either by pressing ctrl-alt-bs.
My xorg is configured accordingly to the following:
