[solved] X.org won't find my graphics card
Hey guys,
I am just installing my system and i cannot get x.org to work. I am using nvidia drivers, with configs generated using nvidia-xconfig.
Xorg log after launching slim: https://gist.github.com/Kilobyte22/a501a5adec002f910eb8

... after launching slim
That may be the problem - also indicated by "using VT number 7" in that output. I'm not sure if slim has been patched up to work with rootless X sessions. Can you start x by just using `startx` from a tty? If so, you'd need to configure Xorg.wrap as covered in the front page news item to use slim again.

What is your gfx card? probably you are using the wrong nvidia driver...

Re: [solved] X.org won't find my graphics card
We solved this issue in IRC. Basicly i have an on-board and a dedicated Nvidia GTX 750 TI. Now, it tried to load the Nvidia driver for the on-board Intel card. I changed the xorg config to force the Nvidia card PCI bus id as GPU.
