 |
|
Yesterday I did a emerge -u world, which got me new versions of xfree and nvidia-kernel. Today, X (gdm) won't start.
Here's my config and log files:
XF86Config: http://staff.washington.edu/jnicol/linux/XF86Config.html
XFree86.0.log: http://staff.washington.edu/jnicol/linux/xlog.html
As you can see, it's choking on the hsync. I've got a Dell p780, and I believe that 80 is correct. This worked before yesterday's update.
I tried unmerging and remerging both nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and ran
| Code: | #opengl-update nvidia
#modules-update |
dmesg shows the nvidia module loaded on boot with no errors or funny messages.
At this point I'm kindof stumped. Ideas? Suggestions? Need more info?
Oh, one more thing...the nv_check.sh script points out that /dev/nvidia1, /dev/nvidia2, etc don't exist (only nvidia0). Is this a problem? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance |

80 looks not correct, you have to specify a range like :
| Code: |
HorizSync 30-95
VertRefresh 50-150

It's always something simple, isn't it??
I fiddled around, and got it working. Now I'm using:
| Code: | HorizSync 50-80
VertRefresh 50-120 |
And I'm back in business. Which makes me wonder, where the heck did I get "80" from (I had it written down in my original install notes), and why did it EVER work??
Anyway, thanks for the tip, these forums constantly save me. |
