Xorg "no screens found"

NoxSec · 2012-01-18 01:40:48

I have a big problem with my video drivers. I first I installed the noveau drivers and everything works, but I need the nvidia drivers for 3D support. So install all the packages for that and run the config. Then I try to startx and I get "no screens found".

I don't know what other information you guys need to help, but I can get it. Thanks for help!

Edit: According to the wiki you can get this error if you are also running a intel integrated chip, but I am not.

The log says the nvidia module wasn't found. have you rebooted since installing nvidia?

NoxSec · 2012-01-18 01:56:19

Okay, so I rebooted and now I am staring at a lovely back screen. I cannot do anything

karol · 2012-01-18 01:57:48

What did you expect to see?

NoxSec · 2012-01-18 02:02:02

Eh, hopefully a shell? Anyway I can get back too it from here? The wiki says to reboot after installing the drivers and such.

Just to make sure, how exactly are you starting X - from .xinitrc? Can you post it?

NoxSec · 2012-01-18 02:10:08

I would be I cannot see anything on my screen. Looks like I am going to have to wipe.

karol · 2012-01-18 02:11:53

Are you seeing the boot loader and the boot process (daemons etc.)? Are you booting to the console or straight to X?

NoxSec · 2012-01-18 02:27:34

I get past the boot loader and I get a few of the lines of the loading screen. Then it tries to re size and goes black. I assume that is when it loads the videos drivers or x.
