NVIDIA drivers...[SOLVED]

tadasbar · 2012-05-13 09:58:12

Hi everybody

The problem is that my nvidia drivers don't work. I tried (almost) every method on arch wiki to make them work, but they don't. Nouveau driver don't work, closed surce nvidia drivers too. My card - geforce go 7300. What outputs should i show you?

Welcome to Arch. You need to learn to provide more details in your post if you expect people to help you. According to nvidia.com. your card uses the extra/nvidia driver package.

# pacman -S nvidia
# reboot

The reboot is not normally needed, but I'm guess that nouveau is modprobed and to my knowledge cannot be removed without a reboot due to kms.

When i try it i get:

[root@tadasbar sienas]# pacman -S nvidia
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict

or

[root@tadasbar sienas]# pacman -S nvidia

Unless you have a really exotic pc you probably shouldn't have the ati and intel graphic drivers installed in the first place

+1
You seemed to have install both the ati and intel drivers for your machine with an nvidia 7300

# pacman -Rs ati-dri intel-dri
# pacman -S nvidia

This looks like you installed the whole xorg group or the entire driver group. Don't do that, always hand-pick your Xorg packages, it'll save you trouble later.

Install the bublebee, nvidia-utils-bumblebee, nvidia and final libvdpau. With that no error compilling.
