problem with nvidia

hi

I have GeForce 6100 and nvidia drivers from arch repo.

I have a problem with run X server

When I turn on computer and type startx I have blackscreen and tiny horizontal stripe.

Then I must edit xorg.conf and change driver to "vesa" and run startx

Now I edit xorg.conf to change back to "nvidia". When I run startx everything is ok !!!!

I don't know what's happend....
I hate run linux becouse I must change xorg.conf all the time. Please help smile

My xorg.conf :

Re: problem with nvidia

Re: problem with nvidia

I should begin with saying that I have this problem on my system with the testing repository on, but that I haven't changed anything in about two weeks.  I have started getting a similar problem today.  When running 'startx', I get a blank screen and then the monitor displays a 'Input not supported' error message (I'm using an Acer al1917w, if that makes any difference).
  I know that I don't have a monitor or video driver problem because I'm able to play movies from mplayer from the command line using the frame-buffer without any problems.  It seems to be a problem specific to xorg.
  I will definitely try switching the drivers and will see if that works, along with trying the suggestion of m72.

Re: problem with nvidia

I'm using the same video card  and find that every time I upgrade the lastest nvidia driver (I'm using 169.x.x.x), the screen have to turn back. So I stay in driver 169.x.x.x ....... forever??

Which repo?  Are you using nvidia and xorg from [Testing] repo?

Re: problem with nvidia

So I re-installed xorg-server, nvidia, and nvidia-utils, and then it didn't work.
And I used the xorg.conf from 'hwd -xa', and then it worked with vesa, after removing RgbPath
And then I changed the the keyboard and mouse stuff to 'evdev', with only one mouse identifier, still with vesa (I don't know if it affected anything, but I'm writing this down for completeness) - from bug 11357
And then I changed the driver to nvidia, and it worked.

I don't know why, but it did.  I use testing, and GeForce 6100 nforce 405 (its on the motherboard).

Re: problem with nvidia

To better understand, is often required reading logs. Ex: / var/log/Xorg.0.log

I had similar problems with my 6100 onboard.  Changing the resolution (1280x1024 => 1280*960) worked for me.
