NVIDIA xorg configuration

On a Sony Vaio F12 with NVidia 330M I have problem configuring xorg and start kde.
The file xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf have now the followings statements:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Device0"
        Driver "nvidia"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
        Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
        Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/home/data/speedyx/bin/SNY-VPCF12Z1E.bin"
        Option "NoLogo" "0"
EndSection

I configured /etc/inittab to start KDE but I have only bash.
startkde claim a void $DISPLAY
and startx no driver even if I installed nvidia-utils

I love archlinux: the last STABLE kernel release + the last STABLE DE release + the last STABLE apps releases. The upstream developers decide what is STABLE.

Re: NVIDIA xorg configuration

1) you need to switch the default runlevel to 5
id:5:initdefault:
instead of
id:3:initdefault:
2) reboot if you just installed nvidia


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: NVIDIA xorg configuration

It is runlevel 5:

#
# /etc/inittab
#
          [...........]
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:

Re: NVIDIA xorg configuration

What does this command return?

pacman -Qs nvidia

The error says the driver is not found

Did you install nvidia (and restart afterwards)? What happens if you run "modprobe nvidia"?

no. it says device not found.  that may be because he didn't rebooted after installing nvidia package or his card is not support by the current nvidia version.

i tend to think is  first

Re: NVIDIA xorg configuration

I installed the nouveau driver and removed all the xorg configurations files, and blacklist nvidia.
2D works!
KDE Kwin effects not for now. What do you think about nouveau-dri? I afraid for hardware damage.

Re: NVIDIA xorg configuration

I know the thread is old, but maybe you might know that I have a Vaio F-12 too, and the driver worked perfectly when I installed it.
On a fresh install of Archlinux (is the first time I use it), I run

sudo pacman –S nvidia nvidia-utils

I've the version 260.19.36-2 and it works perfectly.
