 Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:59 pm Post subject: Medion MD 6200: Problems with Nvidia (Video Modes, Xserver) |
 |
|
Hi,
I've tried Gentoo on my Medion MD 6200 notebook. It was running Ubuntu und Debian before quite well after some troubleshooting. I'm using Gentoo for a few days now and I was only using Ubuntu and Debian before. So don't expect too much knowledge 
My problem:
I configured the kernel manually. I enabled framebuffer-support as it is described in the handbook. On my desktop it works but on my notebook it doesn't. I tried several configs like enabling nvidia framebuffer support, using vesafb or vesafb-tng, specifying the video modes in grub but i'm still running on 640x480. So I stopped caring about and installed xorg-x11 (with nvidia-Flag) and gnome-light. X doesn't start, printing some errors (how to save them to a file?) like this:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.21-gentoo-r4/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
What do I have to change in the kernel configuration to make the card run properly?

Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for a more useful message.
Check that you're using the right version of nvidia-drivers for your video card. To see the video card:
| Code: | | lspci | grep -i nvi |

I noticed the same error on startup, before any X tried loading.
Anyway, here's the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Problem solved. I used X -configure instead of Xorg -configure. Isn't that the same thing? Anyway it works. 
Thanks for your time after all
