Thank you very much.
It's a pity that I couldn't decide this problem.
Sorry for time you have spent on me

I can not get the 7800 GT, 7676 driver to work.

1. base install
2. removed restricted
3. manually removed modules that have name nvidia
4. compile nvidia 7676 with gcc3.4, reboot
5. Lock/crash/burn...

Any ideas? Over at the nvidia forums, they say its a ubuntu issue, normally restricted modules.

Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (after the system have crashed)

[Kloschüssel]

Good evening.

I'm pretty new on this forum *g* .. please be pacient if I'm not completely etiquette-conform. Let's get to the **** part of this post.

I'm trying to get work my nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX with Dual head .. but still got some problems on configuring my xorg.conf file .. I don't exactly understand why it's not working .. may s.o. of yours can help me out. :rolleyes:

Informations about the hardware associated with:
- GeForce 7800 GTX on:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0091 (rev a1) (still I don't understand why the latest driver release of nvidia doesn't understand the chipset of this device)
- monitor 1 (connected to the main dvi output): samsung syncmaster 913v
- monitor 2 (connected to the 2nd dvi output): samsung syncmaster 710v

Here's my conf file for who's interested in ;)

My first approach is to get it working with a simple clone and the target is to get it working with a <dual buffered> desktop environment.

I would be glad of every little help .. pretty sure about that the conf file just needs a few little changes to become working.

hey guys

got it finally working .. here you can take a look at .. don't know where on the internet I found the clue .. peace!

this version works fine for a single desktop environment. tomorrow I'm going to work on the dual-buffered desktop thing ..

[comradevik]

Please help me
i have dual monitor set up
how do i get xinerama working.. all my fullscreen applications except movies open onto both screens when i want them to open on one of the screens only

I can't help you with that (I have only 1 monitor)

[IronWolve]

Ok, found out my issue. The 7676 driver was crashing the system above 1600x1200 on the Nvidia 7800 card. Using the correct modelines fixed it.

I should of tried a lower resolution to test, stupid stupid...

Modelines for 24 inch Dell LCD 2405.

Option "HorizSync" "30-81"
Option "VertRefresh" "56-76"
Option "MetaModes" "1920x1200"
Modeline "1920x1200" 161.75 1920 2020 2052 2184 1200 1202 1208 1235 -hsync -vsync
Modeline "1920x1200" 154.128 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 -hsync -vsync

So, might want to add this to some FAQ, I've seen the same issue on many boards..

[sfink01]

This is a function of Xinerama, depending on how your setup is you can do a number of things.

Try adding Option Xinerama "off" in the Screen section. This should allow the window manager to understand that there are two monitors and applications should maximize to only one screen. However, you will only see the panels on one screen instead of spanned across both.

If this does not give you the desired results, please post your xorg.conf and I'll take a look.

[Kloschüssel]

Xinerama by default clones your first screen to the second screen. Disable Xinerama and it should work.

Another question:

Anyone who may got working a double frame buffer for nVidia driver in order to have 2 desktops running and sharing the memory of the single graphiccard?

As posted a few posts before I'm trying to get this done, but until now I was only able to enable my second monitor by using the nvidia driver build in configuration options shown below.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GTX"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
# advanced options

Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60-75"
Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1"
Option "MetaModes" "CRT-0:1280x1024, CRT-1:1280x1024"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
# xinerama running or not, the second screen works fine :-)
Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection

theoretically it should be possible to declare 2 videodevices, each of them pointing to the same device but different output channels. most ati cards have to be configurated as such.

really kewl would it be if it was possible to just tell the x server by a code like Option "TwinViewOrientation" "dualbuffer" that there are 2 different screens and he has to load 2 independent desktops. :rolleyes: would be an idea to send to nvidia's driver developers :D

awaiting your ideas :rolleyes:

[Voodoodude]

I just tried Shabba's install method on an Nvidia 5700 Ultra. Worked pretty good except that it did not recognize the "sudo nvidia-glx-config-enable" command
and it confused me when the nano opened up both the new and the backup version of "xorg.conf". He probably just wanted to make a new backup before the mod. But hey, I just got ubuntu yesterday, and I finally have a working video card! :) Thanks so much all.

I think you should ask in the Unofficial Nvidia forum, the developers of the driver (and some Linux geeks) can help you there:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14

[sfink01]

From my humble knowledge, TwinView and Xinerama are two totally separate things. TwinView is a function of the nVidia Driver and Xinerama is an extention to X.

The line you show in your Device section "Option Xinerama on" is not a vaild Option for the Device, that line should be under the ServerLayout section to control X. See http://www.ublug.org/nvidia/twinview/nvidia-device-options.txt for the valid options.

The only valid option for the Device about Xinerama is:
Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "boolean"

This option will turn on and off Xinerama Info being sent back to X to then be delivered to the Window Manager.

From what I understand, you can place any of the Device options under either the Device or ServerLayout section ( I like to put them where they control because it's easier for me to keep track of them), but a ServerLayout only option cannot go under Device.

The option Xinerama on in the ServerLayout section would give you a desktop that spans the entire MetaMode ie 2560x1024 on two monitors @1280x1024 with a top panel with a Main Menu on the Left (by default) and the clock on the second monitor on the right, with the taskbar all the way across the bottom and if you maximize an application it will span across both monitors. This is of course assuming your TwinViewOrientation is anything but clone.

Having NoTwinViewXineramaInfo off (0, false, no) or not there at all would return Xinerama info from the Device back to the Window Manager and allow the Window Manager to interpret the info as it sees fit. If the ServerLayout section has Xinerama off and TwinViewOrientation is not clone there will be two 1280x1024 areas joined together and allow you to maximize an application to just one monitor and have the top and bottom panels on the first monitor only. When a new application is opened it will go to the 1280x1024 area not in use and apps can be dragged back and forth.

There are of course many, many exceptions to this, you can mix and match the Options to get any combination of results, these are just the most commonly used.

Once again, this is my limited knowledge and understanding, Hope that helps.

tseliot, just wondering.

as you see 'BusID' is "PCI:2:0:0" is that ok even though I have only one pci slot for my nvidia card??
maybe dumb question. :rolleyes:

[23meg]

It's ok, it's just the number given to the slot your card is plugged into by the system.

This setting is the address of your PCI card and where the driver can find it.

You can check your address by doing:

lspci | grep nVidia

and reading the output mine is:

sfink@pulsar:~$ lspci|grep nVidia
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 00cc (rev a2)

see the 0000:01:00.0 that means in my xorg.conf I need to put:

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

Hope that helps!

[iltofa]

I just want to let you know that I tried the first method suggested by tseliot, the one written in the Gnome documentation, and it works.

I have a HP notebook nx9105 - Ubuntu Breezy.

Bye

[linkunderscore]

bump because i hate having to search for this thread and...


it compiled my new nvidia kernel according to method 2 but its not starting...

[rochester39]

Finally after much gnashing of teeth and rending of cloth, I managed to make my nVidia FX 5500 behave. If you are suffering from black screen syndome, this may help.

I used tseliot's methodologies (all of 'em) and nothing worked. I finally found an obscure reference to removing the default AGP driver. This worked. So, with a cleanly installed system (Breezy/AMD64 (running 32bit)/1G/FX5500) I followed Method 1 which basically installs the driver from Synaptic. Then I added two lines to the end of the file /etc/hotplug/blacklist :

agpgart
sis_agp

(I have a SiS motherboard -- YMMV, could be intel_agp, whatever). This keeps these drivers from loading.

Anyway, this fixed the problem. Reboot, I finally see the nVidia logo and get about 2500 fps out of glxgears. Yow!

Hey tseliot. I was using method 2--it finally worked after I, in complete frustration, opened up synaptic and removed anything that said nvidia (including the kernel I compiled previously). Then I followed method 2 again and it worked.

I guess you could add "Open Synaptic and remove any remnence of your old nvidia kernel and nvidia-settings" to your How To. I know thats what fixed it for me.

I dont know what I removed that finally allowed it to work properly, but I know I didn't have nvidia-glx or /etc/init.d/nvidia-* SO it had to be something else causing the problem. I removed the nvidia kernel, nvidia-settings, and everything that went with the nvidia kernel (a complete removal). My guess is that one or both of those things were screwing up my installation somewhere in the process.

Thanks for your HowTo's :)

i done that, didnt work *sighs* when i put nvidia drivers gdm didnt start again, i dont think its because of the modules. I'll just format i guess, i wont lose much.
I aint gonna give up tho, i want to lose windows! Just missing in two things, the graphics and writing to ntfs. Thanks for all the help anyhow!

I have linux-restricted modules for 2.6.11 and 2.6.10, however after installing Breezy they stop working (as well as alsa, no sound in kernels previous 2.6.12). The Nvidia errors were related to a mismatch (nvidia kernels were compiled with software version x.xx while xorg was compiled with other version).

I'll appreciate suggestions

[tseliot]

[QUOTE=Darth Tux]I have tried all 3 ways to get it to work but my computer locks up everytime. I even tried what you said in the troubleshooting. Here is my xorg.conf config:/QUOTE]

1) Please post:

the model of your graphic card

your /var/Xorg.O.log after your computer locked up


2) Does your computer lock up completely or does it just get you to the command line(without showing you the graphical interface)?

I'm not sure to get what your problem is.

You should uninstall (i.e. mark them for Complete removal in Synaptic) the restricted modules.

Then install kernel 2.6.12 (install linux-image-386 or install linux-image-k7 or linux-image-686, etc.)

Then follow method 1 of my guide

Everything should work then.

[Darth Tux]

tseliot, I have a GeForce FX 5700 LE AGP. I tried method 3 again, in combonation with method 2, but no luck. Here is my xorg.conf now and my Xorg log from after a crash. I had to condense the Xorg log a bit so that i could attach it. It locks up completely only when I try to do something with OpenGL. thanks for the help.

I need to know the following things:

1) Do you also have an integrated graphic card (in your motherboard)?

2) I've noticed that you have installed nvidia driver version 7676. I usually suggest NOT to use it. Could you try 7667 please?

3) Which OpenGL application do you use before the computer freezes?

[Darth Tux]

I have tried 7676, 7667, and 7154...or which ever one the legacy was, all do the same thing. I will go ahead and switch back to 7667. I don't have integrated video card on my motherboard, and the programs that lock me up are any OpenGL screen savers, and glxgears. I haven't tried much else. Would you like a pic of what it looks like when it locks up? I dont know if that will help or not.

[belton]

hello! first post in these forums for me... I must give credits to tseliot.. excellent howto.. i tried almost everything with no luck and was givin it up until i found method 2..

I am sooo happy now! :) Thank you!

First off WELCOME! Second, thanks :)

[xbaez]

what is method 2?

really all I do (GeForce FX 5200) is

#apt-get linux-restricted-modules
#nvidia-glx-settings enable
#/etc/init.d/gdm restar

That's about all I do to get Nvidia drivers working
in my toshiba, I add this to the 'Device' section
IgnoreEDID "true"

If you read my guide carefully you will see that method 2 is the manual installation of the drivers by means of nvidia installers

[proxess]

As soon as i formated, i tried method 3, and well... once again... gdm didnt work. Maybe its just me? I dont know what to do. The nvidia-glx (7676 i think) ones just dont work right with my gpu, and all the other ones just dont work.

Try this last trick:

sudo rmmod nvidia

sudo modeprobe nvidia

Then set the driver to "nvidia" in your xorg.conf

Log out

Press:

CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

I this doesn't solve the problem you should ask for help in the Unofficial nvdia forum http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14

[Darth Tux]

here are the pics.

[tseliot]

here are the pics.
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "Off"

CTRL+O to overwrite the file
CTRL+X to exit

Then log out

Press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

Tell me if it works

Ok, try this:

Type:

cd /usr/src
ls

you will see this file "linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2"

Type:

sudo tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2

sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12 /usr/src/linux

cd /usr/src/linux

Then try the installer again.

[Darth Tux]

sorry, didn't work. It still freaked out. Ive looked on the nvidia forums also but there was nothing there of the like. But I'll tell you what did help. a few pages back when you told that guy to type in "sudo rrmod nvidia" and "sudo modprobe nvidia". glxgears ran really slowly, but it did run...then after about a minute it would freak out again.

[23meg]

I'm having a severe 2d problem after reinstalling the driver, with both 7676 and 7667: Gnome desktop icons take about a second to get repainted when switching workspaces and overall 2d performance is worse than it used to be. I had this exact problem upon first install but with some fiddling around (I don't remember what exactly) it had magically disappeared. Now it's back again and I'd appreciate any help on it.

The present state of my xorg.conf Device section follows
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6600 TE/6200 TE]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "Accel" "on"

# Option "NoRenderExtension" "off"
# Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV"
# Option "UseFBDev" "true"
# Option "SWCursor" "on"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

Mine is a PCI-E Geforce Go6200 chip on a laptop. I've blacklisted the intel_agp kernel module but that didn't help either.

Sorry but I can't find anything useful. I think you should post in the Unofficial Nvidia forums: the developers of the drivers will answer you there.

Nothing changes.

[teaker1s]

with method 1 you may be wise to suggest checking this-


from personal experience of changing from kernels if you get to the point that you have an nvidia control panel but few functions or it won't boot gui then you would be wise to check you have installed the correct linux restricted module using synaptic.
as it will boot perfectly METHOD 1 open gl won't work an easy check install supertux with synaptic if you select options and open gl and it crashes then you have a open gl problem
also method 1 xorg.conf didn't get changed from nv to nvidia

after those little problems it works great

I got it from my friend so it might suck..

I thought you were using Ubuntu Breezy. You use Hoary, don't you? In this case you won't find linux source 2.6.12 in the repositories.

Use this command:

sudo apt-get install linux-source-'uname -r'

And you will get the source for your kernel (which I suppose to be 2.6.10 or 2.6.11 if you use Hoary)

Then you should be able to find the source under /usr/src.

If this doesn't happen, please post the output of the following command:
uname -r

[Peksi]

i've already posted it, but here is again: 2.6.12-9-386
so that means I'm using Breezy ? I don't realy know which I'm using..

Edit: Maybe my friend using hoary and I'm breezy? because i've got that sources list from my friend.. I'm not sure which one is my version..

It's probably not a chip specific problem, but one with the kernel module, since I've had it working fine for about six weeks and it only broke after reinstall..

hello,
it is nothing to worry about, it is just a notice from the kernel because you are inserting proprietary code in the kernel so it indicates that the non-free module is "polluting" the kernel

Thanks for the guide - it let me get my resolution up and hopefully quake will actually work...

[Darth Tux]

heres something weird. I did a fresh install, did method 1. And glxgears and some of the screensavers that require rendering are working now. They work for a few minutes then crash. But anything like GLblur crashes immedietly. Any more ideas?

Yes, I can do it when I have some free time. It's a good idea

Could you try this method?

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf


Find the "Section "Device"" add the line in red:


Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
EndSection

CTRL+O to overwrite the file
CTRL+X to exit

Then Log out
CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

And test it.

Let me know if it works

HELP :confused:

I could not get the Nvidia drivers to work, not under Warty, Hoary and now also not under Breezy. And I would really like my dual monitor setup to work under Linux too.

I have tried option number 1, number 2 and tried trouble section number 6.
I have read lots of posts about problems, but I did not find the answer to my problem.

I have a XFX Geforce 5700 FX Ultra and two Philips 170B4 17" tft monitors.
AMD64 3000+
An MSI Nvidia Nforce motherboard.
I use Ubuntu for AMD64-release.

All the methods and troubleshooting had the same results, after restarting the GUI, my monitor goes into standby. I can then still restart the GDM again with CTRL-ALT-Backspace, but then my monitor jumps on, staus black and goes back to standbye

1) Post the content of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
OR
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

2) Post the output of the following command:
lsmod

3) Which method did you use last time (I mean the very last time)?

[Vlammend]

Thank you for the response.

Last method i tried was method 2, with trouble-section number 6 after it:

I will have to make a new attempt to backup the xorg.conf while it is failing. Will do that, after a download which is currently active, has finished. I will also list the method with which the failing setting has been made.

[PenguinZdravko]

Hi! I have a problem. I followed method 1, but when I enter "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable", it prints the error that my xorg.conf is altered. I manually edit xorg.conf, change the drivers to nvidia and comment "Load "dri"" and "Load "GLCore"". But when I restart X, I see the nVidia splashscreen and in that moment the system freezes. What should I do?

Turn on your computer and keep pressing ESC until the GRUB menu shows up.

Select "Recovery Mode"

It will boot to the command line

then try this:

Type:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find the section Device and make sure the word I put in red is “nv”:

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"


CTRL+O to save (yes, use the same name and overwrite the file)
CTRL+X to exit

Then type:
sudo startx

And the Graphical interface should start.

then try this:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the lines in red at this section of the file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "RenderAccel" "Off"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"
Option "NoRenderExtension" "Off"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" “Off”

EndSection

CTRL+O to save (yes, use the same name and overwrite the file)
CTRL+X to exit

Inthe meantime I also updated alot due to the universe repository.

I also tried this file with:
GLcore and dri not commented out and with glx commented out. As well as with everything not commented out in the Module section.

try this:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the lines in red at this section of the file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "RenderAccel" "Off"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"
Option "NoRenderExtension" "Off"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" “Off”

CTRL+O to save (yes, use the same name and overwrite the file)
CTRL+X to exit

Then log out and press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
