(solved) Issues with a PC with NVDIA GForce FX5200 (NV34); which Xorg.conf ?
floppy:
a) xorg.conf.new file (see attachment) still gives a black screen
after sudo X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new
I go back to the prompt with strg-alt-backspace
End of dmesg

b) acpi=off made an hangup.
c) When I then included hsync and Vrefresh params, a Nividia pictures appears on the screen (nomore black) after sudo X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new
But it hangs up after startx.

Hi floppy
I'm running out of ideas here. The differences I see between what you have and what I have is that I don't have
a Files or Modules section in my xorg.conf and I'm running a 3.0.3 kernel. I could not run Xorg7.6 because it
would freeze up on me, but maybe it will work better for you.

thanks for the help!
This topic is probably like a good bottle of a bordeaux-wine: dont touch it, think about it, look at it.. it need time before it become mature. So, no panic at all.. the solution is there.. here.. I just have to find out where exactly.
My impression is the nvidia drivers are extremely sensitive with the xorg.conf format. I will delete the modules and files.
The Xorg7.5.tcz posted is from 2.6.33. Perhaps a new compilation with 3.0.3 or 21 could be good (Im running kernel 3.0.21).

Hi floppy
In the Device section of your xorg.conf, try adding
Option "NvAGP" "0"
and see if that fixes the freezing problem.
floppy:
according your recommendation and http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.31/README/chapter-12.html
Tried 0 and 1. Freeze with black screen (no PC freeze).
2 gives a pc freeze (nvidia picture comes up).
3 gives a screen freeze with black screen (no pc freeze).
Seems that somebody
- putted "NvAGP" "1"
- blacklisted the agpgart and sis_agp in ubuntu: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/dunkler-bildschirm-mit-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200/?highlight=x11#post-164618
or here, too. http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxkernelnewbies@googlegroups.com/msg00437.html
Next try was: (my chip is a sis746)
- according the first link in that post, the FX 5200 should use the AGPGART. -> "NvAGP" "3".
- sis_agp blacklisted at boot
-> PC freeze
I will try "NvAGP" "1" and blacklist AGPGART + SIS_AGP.
