 Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 8:42 pm Post subject: nvidia geforce 6200 with tv out blank screen problem |
 |
|
Hi, I have an nvidia geforce 6200 256mb ddr agp8x vga + dvi-i + tv out installed in my pc in the normal way. I am trying to get X to use nvidia drivers with this card, however I am having a problem which I have had before when try to do this on Debian Linux.
The problem is I do X -config xorg.conf with the xorg.conf for nvidia drivers but all that happens is that I get a blank black screen that I cannot use alt+ctrl+backspace from.
I have managed to to install this on Debian with Kano of Kanotix.com install-nvidia-debian script.
How can I get this working properly on Gentoo?
These are the commands I run following the instructions:
| Code: |
/sbin/NVmakedevices.sh
modprobe nvidia
modules-update
opengl-update nvidia
|
This is my xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I think I might need to make it ignore the tv-out or something.

Ah, Thanks for the Reply 
Anyway, setting defaultdepth didn't have any effect.

There doesn't appear to be any errors so I think that it may be using the TV out instead of the monitor, how can I correct this?
EDIT: I added the line: Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV" to the xorg.conf but nothing changed.

But the screen is just blurry static like, I can move the mouse cursor around but there is just grey fuzzy background.

kronoz, maybe you just a bit confused about what xorg really is..
The whole idea is that it's a X server, which means that it enables you to load a Window Manager like Gnome/KDE on to the X server. If you see a gray screen and you are able to move your mouse then it worx!!

Type these commands after you created the NVnodes:
take note this does not make use of GDM!!
IF you have gnome installed:
X :0 &
just type CTRL+ALT+F1 then on that screen press enter to get the prompt back
export DISPLAY=:0
gnome-session &
CTRL+ALT+F1 to go back to the command line and CTRL+ALT+F7 to go back to your WM running on X!
IF you have kde installed replace gnome-session with:
startkde &
