 Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:21 am Post subject: Please help me get Xorg working with nvidia driver |
 |
|
Xorg used to work very well with nvidia driver, then i updated the system to use the new modularized xorg.
here is what i got.
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.09
also tried with
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.13
anything higher than those versions are not supposed to work with my video card, which is an old agp nvidia card.
also, my mouse and keyboard aren't working when i get X to work using driver 'nv'

Did you add "nvidia" to VIDEO_CARDS and only "evdev" to INPUT_DEVICES in make.conf?
Did you emerge xorg-server with "hal" flag on?
Here's my xorg.conf:

xorg will work with driver "nv" though, the mouse and keyboard does not function. i can cat /dev/input/mice and i know my mouse works. Xsession and fluxbox do not allow me to move my mouse or use my keyboard though.

For mouse & keyboard add to xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "On"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "On"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "On"
EndSection |
And about nvidia driver, did you try the 96* version?
Does lsmod show "nvidia"? |

I face this error form time to time after 'emerge -uDN world'. But after emerging nvidia drivers again and doing 'module-rebuild populate' everything works. Also you can recheck HAL logs since Xorg loads configuration from it. |

| What kind of video card are you using, because you are using a pretty old version of the nvidia driver actually. |

what is the significance of evdev here? I have INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" , is that no longer correct?

Yes it is. But now you can use HAL for input devices.

I have no VIDEO_CARDS or INPUT_DEVICES in my make.conf, it works fine for me.
I also have no INPUTDEVICE lines or sections in my xorg.conf, again no problems.
Hal works just fine.

I think you should consider this:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Nvidia#nvidia_drv.so:_undefined_symbol_with_xorg-server-1.5
still I didn't find the source of the problem and you should be aware of these bugs:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.11 version bump
Stable x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.11
pls upvote
if wonder if this can be solved somehow.

thanks but I've already read that stuff since my other systems are newer and went through all this without problems.
the problem here is related to nvidia stuff
and it seems like there will be no solution to it:
