 Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 8:43 pm Post subject: X doesn't start with nvidia driver [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I had to re-install Gentoo after disk troubles and this time I can't get X to start. The subject is a Dell Vostro 1700 with a nvidia GF 8400M GS.
Started with the basic install and then went on to X following the guide, directly followed by the nvidia install. Double checked the kernel settings etc.
It complains with this:
| Code: |

I changed the "driver" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "nvidia" as it was "nv" and removed the lines of Subsection "Display" that didn't had a depth greater then 16. Also commented out Load "dri" (and later "dri2") but this makes no difference. Same if I removed those lines completely. I added the "modes" lines in the screen section but that changed nothing.
What I don't understand is that first the log says its using /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then that it is going to load "dri" and "dri2" by default and then that it errors because it can't find those modules. But the xorg.conf tell not to load them (as in the documentation).
Also the nvidia module is loaded according to lsmod. And when I start with "X -config /root/xorg.conf.new" I get a flash of the nvidia logo.

Those dri messages in the log are normal and harmless for nvidia, because nvidia uses it's own dri stuff.
Do you have some sort of window manager installed, at least TWM and Xterm?
Are hald and dbus in the default runlevel and started?
Does eselect opengl list = nvidia ?
Were all the X11-drivers rebuilt after emerging xorg-server?
Try it without an xorg.conf file too, it should work.
If it still fails post the output of:emerge --info
rc-status
egrep '^[^#].*(AGP|DRM|FB|NVIDIA|SYSVIPC|EVDEV)' /usr/src/linux/.config |

OK, barking up the wront tree then. I took that as logical as those were the only errors in the log.
| Quote: | | Do you have some sort of window manager installed, at least TWM and Xterm? |
No. Do I have to? With all previous installs, I first made sure X worked before installing anything else. Normally I got then a "grey" screen with a large cross that became a "desktop" with a few windows (a couple of terminals and a clock). Enought to make sure the display, mouse and keyboard work.
| Quote: | | Are hald and dbus in the default runlevel and started? |
Yes I see them both passing on the screen at startup and when I try to run them once started I get the message they are already running.
| Quote: | | Does eselect opengl list = nvidia ? |
output is:
[1] nvidia *
[2] xorg-X11
I did ran the "eselect opengl set nvidia" as it is in the doc.
| Quote: | | Were all the X11-drivers rebuilt after emerging xorg-server? |
Not sure about that. I only emerged "xorg-server" straight after installing a running kernel. It were about 189 packages, so I went to sleep while that took care of itself. There were no config files to be "etc-update"-ed.
| Quote: | | Try it without an xorg.conf file too, it should work. |
When I just run "X" I get the nvidia logo screen and then it turns black. If I remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then run "X" I get a "fatal server error: no screens found". When I run "startx" (with the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in place) I get also the nvidia logo screen and return to the terminal shorly after with as only errors the "dri" and "dri2" modules that could not be found like in the log.

If you add x11-apps/xinit -minimal to /etc/portage/package.use then twm, xterm, xclock and xsm will be pulled in as dependencies by running: | Code: | | emerge -aDNuv world |
Also rebuild all the x11-drivers after emerging xorg-server like this:- emerge app-portage/portage-utils (if you don't already have it)
- emerge -1av $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
Also add consolekit and dbus to the default runlevel and start them: | Code: | eselect rc add consolekit default
eselect rc add dbus default
rc |
Also you might need to disable CONFIG_DRM=m in the kernel. Either rebuild and reinstall the kernel and modules, or blacklist drm in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and run:
If you do redo the kernel, remember to mount the /boot partition (if any) before copying the new kernel over, and reboot.
Try X again. |

Obvious: Did you re-emerge your kernel after the drivers were installed?
Not-so-obvious: Might want to try starting w/ startx instead of a login manager. Might get more info in stdout. That log file seems quite ambiguous. |

That might be the reason to get a black screen... Guess I missed this:
| Quote: | | If you haven't yet installed a window manager, all you'll see is a black screen. Since this can also be a sign that something's wrong, you may want to emerge twm and xterm only to test X. |
| Quote: | Also rebuild all the x11-drivers after emerging xorg-server like this:
emerge app-portage/portage-utils (if you don't already have it)

I ran that, it rebuild the nvidia driver , keyboard and mouse. However I did rebuild the nvidia once.

 LOL
| Quote: | | Obvious: Did you re-emerge your kernel after the drivers were installed? |
No, but I did re-emerge the drivers after the first fail.
Thanks for all the pointers. I'll install twm first and let you know how that ends. But it looks like another pebkac....
EDIT: after emerging twm and xterm I got the usual simple windows after running startx. Thanks all.

It's actually the other way around: re-emerge nvidia-drivers after building and installing a new kernel.  |
