Nvidia + X --> headache

[monstercoo]

Ive been having a problem with my nvidia drivers for the past couple of weeks... and it's really starting to get to me.

I cannot get nvidia's drivers to work. On a previous installation a few months ago, they worked fine. However, after I switched to the gaming-sources and now the ck-sources, Ive yet to get them to work.

I've enabled MTTR in my kernel, and nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx emerge fine. However, once I startx, the screen turns black, and I have to reboot. I've tried different AGP settings, with no luck... and the default worked before on my old isntallation.

If someone could take a sec or two to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my X log:

try to comment out the VideoRam and the AGP line. this works for me.

Let me guess .. you´ve got a Geforce3 Ti200 from MSI ?

[monstercoo]

Hmm tried commenting out those lines before, no luck.

This is a geforce 3 Ti500, by pny

(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3 Ti 500] rev 163, Mem @ 0xf1000000/24, 0xf4000000/26, 0xf3800000/19, BIOS @ 0xf37f0000/16

[monstercoo]

Does anyone have anymore suggestions?

I tried using nvidia's drivers and installer and got the same result.

[windex82]

Im also experiencing the lock up,

Im using the gentoo kernel (r5) , with the latest drivers available by emerge.

If i change the driver from nv to nvidia it freezes leaving me no choice but to press reset. When i change it back the problem goes away.

I'm using a GF3Ti200 from pny, its worked before when using vanilla-source, in fact i generlly got more fps in linux then windows with it.

I might try using a vanilla-sources kernel and see if it goes away... on one condition: would changing to that kernel require me to re-compile all the software ive already compiled.

[monstercoo]

[windex82]

alright, im recompiling now, i think i got eveything included i needed =\

prolly not, it might take me a compile or two to get it right, then i can check the driver.... i might have an answer in an hour and half, if not expect it sometime tommorow

[windex82]

well that didnt fix the problem, but gave me an idea kor an artical to write.

[madCoder|GN]

If it helps any, I could not get my GF4 Ti4400 to load in X properly using the nvidia-driver ebuild (which is version 4349). It works beautifully however, using the nvidia drivers downloaded from www.nvidia.com, version 4363 (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run). I just have to recompile the nvidia driver every time I recompile the kernel, using:

[windex82]

[monstercoo]

After weeks of trying, I got things working..

First, to get my X to start, I simply needed to turn off the device detection checks that would occur when starting X. (Instructions Here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=58576)

Then.. X would start, however, opengl wouldnt work. There were problems with the nvidia-glx that I emerged. I unmerged them, and got the drivers from http://www.nvidia.com.

After that, things began to work smoothly!
Thanks for the help people..
