(solved) Issues with a PC with NVDIA GForce FX5200 (NV34); which Xorg.conf ?
Rich:
Hi floppy
It's possible the nvidia driver is buggy. Maybe you want to try the driver that comes with Xorg.
In the Device section of your xorg.conf change:
--- Code: --- Driver "nvidia"
--- End code ---
to:
--- Code: --- Driver "nv"
--- End code ---
and see how that behaves.
floppy:
Extension name?
Rich:
Hi floppy
It's part of the Xorg7.5 extension (/usr/local/lib/X11/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so). Changing nvidia to nv in your
existing xorg.conf file should be sufficient to try it out.
floppy:
1) I wanted to give a try to "NvAGP" "1" and blacklist AGPGART + SIS_AGP (nvidia driver + Xorg7.5) = use of the nvidia AGP.
Result (sort of improvement)
The screen comes.
Wbar is there.
-> PC preeze after few mouse movement
2) Xorg7.6 dont start due to glx failed to load. I will load nvidia-glx at boot and post any result here.
I will try rich recommendation a bit later (exchange nvidia with nv driver).
floppy:
Solved. The nv driver from xorg75 had to be used (not the last nvidia driver after compilation).
