Hi all,
While away I upgraded my system and part of that upgrade involved the new nvidia drivers (100.14.11). I have an older graphics card (FX 5200). I also upgraded kde during this process. Unfortunately, I now am having trouble as KDE or any Xorg system is not loading (I am just using the terminal). The errors I am getting are as follows:
| Code: |
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
|
I tried to revert back to the older driver and the problem remains. What, pray tell, is going on here?
Best,
Alex |

Have you gone over your xorg.conf to see if there is a default depth,
| Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24 |
Have you rolled back to old drivers to see if they still work or recompiled your kernel?
Look in the var logs to see if it shows any more info  |

Hi,
Bah, the problem was simple. I didn't have the module autoloaded upon bootup, so I reckon that had been changed and I managed to miss it. Ah well!
Best,
Alex
