I've just setup xorg/x11 and everything's fine but when i launch a
Code:
# startx


The screen goes black, nothing happens and i get the following massage:
Code:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): shmget (lowmem) error : Unknown error 999
(EE) NVIDIA(0): unable to initialize the X Int10 module; the console may not (EE) NVIDIA(0)  be restored correctly on your TV
(EE) NVIDIA(0) : Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.


I merged nvidia-glx and performed a:
Code:
# opengl-update nvidia


I've got suppot for nforce2 AGP in my kernel and there's the important part of my xorg.conf if you need more, please let me know :wink: :
Code:
Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

    Load        "dbe"     # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
    EndSubSection

# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
    Load        "type1"
#    Load        "speedo"
    Load        "freetype"
#    Load        "xtt"

# This loads the GLX module
    Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
#    Load       "dri"

EndSection

# Device configured by xorgconfig:


Section "Device"
   
Identifier  "ASUS GeforceFX 5200"
Driver      "nvidia"
VideoRam    131072
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "nologo" "1"
   
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection


I also checked my /var/log/Xorg.0.log an can't understand what's goin' on .
Please have a look at the differents error messages:

First of all, th log says my graphic card is onected to a TV screen whereas it' not at all...don't now if it's important.
And th log talks about a module called "Int10". Do you guys have an idea about what it could be????

I you have any idea about this problem, please let me know... :)

I actually forgot to put this in my kernel .config:
Code:

CONFIG_SYVIPC=y


Cheers :wink:
