Can not find display device for screen 1

Hi guys,

I got a strange problem. I HAD a working tv-out with my beyond kernel. I updated my system:

starting full system upgrade
[06/08/06 21:41] removed nvidia (1.0.8178-16)
[06/08/06 21:42] upgraded codecs (20050412-2 -> 20060501-3)
[06/08/06 21:42] warning: extracting /boot/kconfig26 as /boot/kconfig26.pacnew
[06/08/06 21:42] upgraded kernel26 (2.6.16.19-1 -> 2.6.16.20-1)
[06/08/06 21:42] installed nvidia-utils (1.0.8762-4)
[06/08/06 21:46] installed nvidia-beyond (1.0.8762-1)

After that I can not use my sweet tv-out anymore. As u can see I have used nvidia driver with my beyond kernel so I installed the nvidia-beyond instead.

Can some one tell me what went wrong??

Did you reboot or remove the loaded kernelmodule before starting X again? Looks like the old kernel module won't work for 100% with the new driver.

Well if u mean if I removed the old nvidia driver then yes. I am currently having two kernels one is my beyond and the other is the standard one. So for the moment I am running beyond kernel with beyond nvidia....and I also got nvidia-utils installed since the driver wants it. I got dual boot I started up windows and  in that OS my tv-out is working. Maybe I should totaly remove the old kernel and mkinitrd..dunno if that will fix my prob. Ohh..I have rebooted after wards ...  One strange thing is that I booted up with my old kernel and installed nvidia driver as well. To see if I could get my tv out back. At that point I had both drivers installed, maybe they did a conflict..I will reinstall all nvidia drivers including utils and only have beyond driver...I got a feeling that my driver mess things up totaly.

Ok, now I have a clean setup,

beyond kernel
nvidia-beyond
mkinitcpio

and still, no tv-out  I am thinking..do I need to add a module that should be loaded in xorg.conf??
