Fotix Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 What version of the Nvidia drivers? I had big similar display issues with the 66.xx edition as did others.

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 17, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 17, 2005 What card do you have? How is it configured (in particular, I am thinking incorrect RAM size specified)? Did this do this with the generic nv drivers, or just when you installed the official nVidia driver? Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for us to look at?

urfage Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I had a similar problem w/ these drivers. Having a look at your xorg.conf would help. The thing that fixed it for me was making sure you have a DefaultDepth set in the Screen section. Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "nvidia6600gt" Monitor "sonylcd" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Here is my Device section for refrence: Section "Device" Option "NoLogo" "true" # [<bool>] Option "HWcursor" "true" # [<bool>] Option "RenderAccel" "true" # [<bool>] Identifier "nvidia6600gt" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Under modules make sure you comment out dri and enable glx: Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Load "type1" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # Load "dri" EndSection My full xorg.conf can be found here. I am using a 6600GT PCI-E card. You may need to set the NvAGP option correctly in Devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Always provide the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file when you got issues with X Window because at least half of the time, the problem can be solved by a simple change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
