startx causes a complete crash (nvidia)

liberm · 2012-01-24 01:38:11

Alright, I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on here. I followed the unofficial installation guide, and everything went smoothly until I tried to startx. When I do, my system completely crashes, and I'm left with a heavily artifacted image of my previous X session from my other linux (non-arch) install. I can't switch to another terminal. I can't input anything.
Relevant specs:
Nvidia GeForce GT 240
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
AMD Phenom II X3 720

Here's my Xorg.0.log (I'm very grateful for curlpaste right now...)

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm just at a complete loss at what to do. Could it have something to do with the mouse and keyboard?

Thanks again, and sorry for my probable apparent ineptitude.

Sounds like NOUVEAU is messing up your video card. Try Nvidia's proprietary driver.

Earnestly · 2012-01-24 01:49:48

Are you using the proprietary NVIDIA driver or Nouveau? (Or which one are you attempting to use?)

What are the contents of your Xorg.conf (Or any related .conf files under /etc/X11/)?

Curiously, did you also check the Nvidia and Xorg wiki?

liberm · 2012-01-24 01:55:25

I have nouveau installed right now. /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.d only has the 10-evdev and 10-quirks files, which don't really appear to be helpful. I've searched, but I am having a hard time finding anything that could cause a problem like this.

I have a geforce GTS 360m card and I have not been able to use nouveau drivers for the year I have had this laptop, I always get the same garbled image and hang. Using the Nvidia propietary driver is leaving me with either a red screen on shutdown/reboot, or it just hangs with a blinking cursor. But I think this is related to the X1.11 and nvidia issues from what I read could be wrong, I see many not having any issues on the proprietary drivers, which frustrates me since I would like to use some cuda software. Not sure if this is from me not grasping something/messing up a config I cant figure out or just the issues I read about. What I have figured out the garbled image is, is the GPU locking up, something to do with fb0 I think if I remember correctly now.

What I have found to be the most stable regardless of changes is to just use the nv driver, blacklisting nouveau. I know this does not really help but figured I would share my expierence on the same issue.

liberm · 2012-01-24 15:38:41

In Ubuntu 11.10, both of the drivers work perfectly. I believe it's running an earlier version of Xorg -- I'm not at my computer right now, but launchpad says 11.10 runs Xorg 1.10. I'll look into if it's possible to coerce pacman into installing Xorg 1.10; maybe that will help.

I tried the proprietary drivers last night, and I upon startxing I get what appears to be a functional twm setup, but I can't tell if it's completely frozen or not responding to my input. I suppose I could look at the clock next time...

If you want to try the downgrading route I found these on archbang that may help you, I have read this works but have not tried it myself I only downgrade if its the last hope and I am not quite there.

Here are the link for you, if you have luck let me know and I may break down and give it a shot.
http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?titl … org_Server
http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=1360

For me even on other distros like Ubuntu nouveau does not work in the same manner as on Arch and honestly I dont want to go through what seems like more hassle and time than I want to invest to investigate it enough to give a decent bug report. Though I see this is a common issue through many distros that has been around for a few rev's.

If you have success downgrading let me know and I may just break down and give it a shot, I have also noticed mentioning that some forums say certain nvidia proprietary drivers are patched for x1.11 but not all and I have not been able to make heads or tails of which ones are and not and if the patched ones would work on my card.
