Sette opp X i Arch Linux med nVidia kort

[hockey500]

Hei,

tenkte jeg skulle prøve Arch Linux, og installasjonen gikk smertefritt og var enkel. Men når jeg skulle installere X ble det derimot litt mer problemer.

 

Jeg installerte nvidia-drivern (jeg har et gammelt nVidia GeForce FX 5200 kort):

pacman -S nvidia

 

så installerte jeg X:

pacman -S xorg
xorgconfig

og konfigurerte Xorg.conf, som ser slik ut:

Jeg trodde dette skulle være alt, så jeg prøvde å starte opp X. da fikk jeg beskjed om at den ikke fant modulen nvidia, og X startet ikke opp.

 

hva har jeg glemt her? Jeg har allerede sett på Arch Linux wiki'en

[stigfjel]

Brukte du nvidia-xconfig verktøyet? Dessuten, det er bedre å laste ned og installere driveren direkte fra nVIDIA sine hjemmesider. Ikke stol på pakkesystemet med sånne ting.

[hockey500]

har prøvd med nvidia-xconfig ja.. Men jeg kan også prøve å finne driveren på nVidia sine hjemmesider

[stigfjel]

Min erfaring er at nvidia-xconfig bare lager krøll. /etc/X11/xorg.conf blir ødelagt med den config-filen. Kjør xorgconfig en gang, og så setter du inn Driver "nvidia" manuelt etter det. Mer skal det ikke til. Pass selvfølgelig på at du har Module "glx" aktivert. Mer skal det faktisk ikke til.

[hockey500]

det skal tydeligvis mer enn det til her... skal prøve å bruke driver fra nvidia sin hjemmeside i morgen.

[stigfjel]

Dette har gått strålende, både i Slackware, FreeBSD (med visse tilpasninger til OS-spesifikke innstillinger) og Solaris, så jeg kan ikke skjønne at det ikke skal fungere i Arch Linux.

[Dinosauromann]

Sikker på at du har startet nvidia-modulen?

 

modprobe nvidia

hvis jeg ikke husker feil.

[hockey500]

finner ikke modulen nvidia. Og ellers har jeg bare prøvd dette i gentoo, og der funka det fint.

Har du fulgt denne?

[hockey500]

ja, begge to....

[stigfjel]

Sikker på at du har startet nvidia-modulen?

 

modprobe nvidia

hvis jeg ikke husker feil.

Det skal ikke være nødvendig. Modulen vil initialiseres automatisk under installasjonen, og er xorg.conf satt opp riktig, skal modulen sørge for at driveren startes når man starter X. Hvis man installerer driveren mens X er startet opp, må man selvfølgelig starte X på nytt. Men dette bør da være allmenn kunnskap.

[Bøb]

Har du prøvd en vanlig "pacman -S nvidia"? Du har trolig restarta til ny kjerne etter at du installerte driveren, og den kompilerer interfacet til den kjernen du kjører for øyeblikket.

[hockey500]

jeg fikk en del spørsmål rundt det der når jeg installerte med driver fra hjemmesiden. da sa den at den kompilerte ett eller annet grensesnitt for meg tror jeg, husker ikke helt. Med den driveren fant den verken nvidia eller glx.

 

Til slutt funka det delvis ved at jeg kjørte pacman -Sf nvidia med den andre driveren installert. da funka det nesten. Får opp nvidia-logoen når jeg starter X, men så går den tilbake til konsollet. når jeg starter X som root kommer jeg til 3 xterm vinduer, og jeg klarer å starte xdm. men jeg får ikke logget inn derfra.

[comicz]

Hva sier glxinfo | grep render når du kjører oppp X som root?

[hockey500]

har ingen pakker som heter glxinfo.

 

Etter å ha sletta .xinitrc fikk jeg faktisk starta X som vanlig bruker også. Men dette er alt som skjer (se vedlagt bilde). starter jeg xdm får jeg opp en login manager hvor jeg ikke kan logge inn fra, fordi den ikke finner brukeren min.

 

Når jeg starter gdm ved oppstart kommer jeg til nVidia logoen, skjermen blir den standard blåfargen i ca. 1 sek, så stopper X.
