 Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2005 11:31 pm Post subject: Nvidia driver loads, but looks messed up. [solved] |
 |
|
I'm trying to get my GeForce FX 5700 working with Gentoo. I just pulled my Radeon 8500 card (which worked fine) and replaced it with the Nvidia card. The "nv" driver displays correctly, but when I load the "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf, it displays the desktop as though it were only uses a handful of colors. I've searched the forums and can't find anything that helps in my case. My display looks somewhat similar to the one in this post:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-358879-highlight-nvidia+xorg.html
However, I've tried the current nvidia drivers, as well as the 1.0.6111 drivers and the 1.0.7667 drivers - none work right.
Here's my dmesg that pertains to my video card:
| Code: | agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.

My system:
Asus A7N8X-X mobo with the nforce2 chipset
Athlon 2600+ processor
Chaintech GeForce FX 5700 Video card
Standard gentoo-sources kernel 2.6.12-r6
Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?
Thank you,

| I think you're missing a DefaultDepth entry in your Screen section (I'm not saying that all prblems are there). Anyway having a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log may help a bit. |

Ok, the DefaultDepth fixed it! I've been playing around with this for days. I can't believe it was that simple. Now my ut2004 sound isn't working...
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help! |

| You're welcome. I think it's better you start a new thread for your sound card, unanswered posts are more likely to be followed. |
