nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

This is my first message on this forum, so I hope you'll be happy to have another arch adept here! wink

Going to the topic of this post, I'm asking your help 'cause I have serious problems with nvidia drivers. I have a Nvidia geforce 420 Go on my toshiba notebook, so I installed nvidia drivers with pacman, and did all the things that arch's wiki told me. When I type "startx" I get a black screen, and nothing seem to happen from that moment. The pc is completely frozen, I can't even exit Xorg with alt+ctrl+backspace. The only way is hold down the power button for five seconds to force the shutdown.

I tried several options in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the last configuration is the one following here:

# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the 
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
    #FontPath     "unix/:7100"
    RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#    Option    "XkbModel"    "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
# or:
#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
#    Option    "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

I point out that I found this file in a page describing the configuration used on the same notebook I have. They used a different distro, but I cannot imagine why shouldn't it work...

Maybe it would be useful to post a log?

Thanks to you all!  smile

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

First thing, Comment or remove completely this section:

Section "DRI"
   Group        0
   Mode         0666
EndSection

Example:

#Section "DRI"
#   Group        0
#   Mode         0666
#EndSection

Reboot, then try to startx, view the log file and tell su what's in there.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Only error I see is in the modules section comment out this line

Load "v41"

although that shouldn't cause the freeze, it's not needed.

one thing I was cursious about was this line:

Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

try changing it to

Screen  "Screen0"

If that does work:

xorgcfg -textmode

This will bring an on screen text mode configuration wizard for xorg, just follow it's instructions the best that you can, then try to startx, if that fails view the xorg.conf file that it generated and make sure it detected nvidia, if not add that again, save, startx again.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Well, the correction in the screen line had no effect. So I ran xorgcfg -textmode and made the choices. It did not list official nvidia drivers, so I chose "nv". Then I tried to startx, but I had an error message that said that "nv module does not exist". So I edited my xorg.conf to use "nvidia" instead of "nv". Then, on startx, my pc froze again!

If I cannot manage to use official drivers, I would also be happy to use "nv" if they can make me use openGL. But I don't know how to install that module...

Have you got any other idea for the official drivers?

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Hmmm this is odd, and no... I've never tried installing the official drivers from the nvidia site. The ones on the repo should work perefectly fine since all they are is a packaged version of the nvidia drivers and your card is supported.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

as from xorg 7.0 the fonts are in a different place, so if you're using that
change yr fontpaths. here's my fontpatch section:

FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/misc:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/cyrillic"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/Type1"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/misc"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/100dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/share//fonts/75dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"

maybe this will do the trick

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

I tried to correct the font section as you suggested, but unfortunately nothing changes...  :cry:
Is the double slash in the paths ok?

However, I must tell you that some months ago I tried to install Ubuntu and the drivers worked, even if there were some problems in setting the correct resolution. So it should not be an incompatibility with those drivers from nvidia...

I don't think I will try Ubuntu again however!

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

for the nv drivers :

pacman -S xf86-video-nv

I recommend installing them , and testing as root if you can start X11 that way.

Yes, i know about the issues with using X as root (and agree with them) , however i have found that running X11 as root with the default wmaker is the easiest way to check xorg setup.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

So I should try to install that package, set xorg.conf to use "nv" driver, and run startx as root?

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

yes, that's the idea.

NOTE :
I forgot wmaker expects to have use some apps that since xorg 7 are no longer installed by default.

Once you see a mouse cursor, check if it reacts on mouse movement.
If that happens basic X11 funtions are configured correctly.
Use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill X and get back to console.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Now, that's what I have done:
- installed the xf86-video-nv package
- edited xorg.conf, adding dri, commenting glx, substituting "nvidia" with "nv" and decommenting the dri section
- then I did a startx from root
- the pointer appeared and moved according to my input
- xorg shut down immediately complaining about eterm that was missing.

Than I tried to startx being a common user and it is working... I am now writing from the interface just brought up.

So you think I should forgot about official drivers and use nv ones?

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

The main diff between nv and nvidia is that the nvidia drivers are faster and have 3D acceleration.
The nv and nvidia packages coexist well, and there is a new Nvidia package in [testing] repo.

Maybe you could try that one out  and help with testing it ?

Just make sure you keep a copy of the xorg.conf with nv in it, so you can switch back easy.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

I would be very happy to test new nvidia package. It's time to give something (though very little) to this community that gave me so much good software!

I think I should add [testing] repo to pacman.conf and then do a

pacman -Sy nvidia

to sync only that package, than comment again [testing] repo.

But how should I help the developing team? Is there any particular board for such a discussion?

In the meantime, I would like to ask how can I manage to use OpenGL (if it is possible with nv driver). Should I install some package? Now, applications like KPovModeler or Keyjnote complain about these missing libraries.

Thank you!

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Somewhere in the italian archlinux wiki I read about libgl-dri package being necessary to use openGL if you have don't have official nvidia drivers installed. So I tried to pacman -S libgl-dri, but it says that the package conflicts with nvidia package. So this will prevent me to have a way to rapidly switch between nv and nvidia driver for testing purposes.

Can you confirm that libgl-dri is needed to use openGL applications with "nv" driver?

Thank you!  smile

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Nothing to do... It continues with the same issue!
I had to come back to nv driver.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

i too have a similar problem with my asus notebook and it's geforce 7300Go. it started, when i installed. the 1.0-8762 drivers from nvidia together with 2.6.17-beyond-git2 from aur, because i want native broadcom support for my wlan and suspend2 working without patches.

it seems more people have that "black screen of death" problem. it's been there for quite a while and i've gathered some information of what might help.

1.

root@defiler $ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
#
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=4

2.

root@defiler $ vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Option  "NvAgp"                 "2"
    Option  "ModeValidation"        "NoMaxPClkCheck"

play around with the NvAgp settings: 0-3 (or something). i've read that different people had success with different settings. i also found, that there's a problem with 4KSTACKS in the kernel, but i'm not sure how current that information is. i'm pretty out of ideas atm, if someone could find a solution to this, i'd be quite glad to hear it.

ah and btw. the pc does not crash or anything, just the display is somewhat frozen. you can still ssh into the pc and work with it.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Yep, I'm in the same boat now that I'm trying to use ArchLinux again.  I used ArchLinux for a very long time (until 4-5 months ago when I left) and it worked absolutely great on my Toshiba Qosmio with Nvidia.  I had excellent video/audio and everything working perfectly (except getting MythTV setup).

I decided to put Arch back on it and have had no luck at all with it.  Same black screen hang as you.  Other latest versions of Linux' works fine with the video (PCLinuxOS, CentOS, etc...etc...).

And I was soooooooo looking forward to getting back to Arch...  :-(   A real bummer!  I guess I could always restore my old working backup from Feburary and just not do any updates, but that's no fun!

Sorry, i thought i had answered.

Libgl-dri is indeed necessary for those apps. The nvidia package also supplies libgl-dri, that's why they conflict.

@agilyben & eNTi : have you tried to use nvidia with stock kernel to determine if the problem is with nvidia or with your kernels ?

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

I'm using the stock kernel on mine.  I had patched kernels when I used Arch previously, but I was just using the stock one while I'm getting it setup again.  I haven't had this much trouble since the early days of Linux.   Those days were real fun getting everything working.  ;-)

I hadn't tried in about a week, so I booted back into Arch a few minutes ago and did an update to get all the latest and tried again.  Same thing.  Works fine with 'nv' driver, but with 'nvidia' it just hangs.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

i'v just used the stock kernel26beyond from the pacman repos and kde starts up normally, but wether powersave -u nor my wlan works.

i think it's the combination of 2.6.17 and the 1.0.8762 nvidia drivers, which causes this "black screen of death" on my asus notebook.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

Mine has had the blackscreen hang on the 3 most recent stock kernels (over the last few weeks) and the last 2 (or possibly 3) most recent nvidia drivers.  They've all just hung on me.  I'm thinking it may be xorg7 since the last time I had it working was around February/March on the old xorg.  NV works, but nvidia is driving me nuts.  I wonder if I should try the nvidia-legacy?  It's the NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700 that's in the Qosmio w/17" 1440x900 screen.

Re: nvidia drivers freeze my pc!

For the record, the aforementioned 

 Option "nvagp" = "0"

setting has worked wonders for my system, thankyou!

I was getting random lockups, but no I can run X and composite extensions, with no crashes at all.

Cheers for that. Just thought I'd confirm it for others with similar probs.

PS
Long time, no see! Arch is back on the old workstation big_smile
