nvidia strangeness

Hello everybody,
I just bought some new hardware but i can't get it to work. I bought the following: An Asus A8V Deluxe, AMD64 3200+ CPU and a Inno3d GeForce 6600 graphics card with 256mb ram. My problem is that i can't get the GF card to work with the nvidia-drivers; even on windows 2k and XP. I posted into this category because i'm not sure this is a software issue sad

When i install the driver, x won't start anymore, it just hangs on a black screen, and i can't even switch to any vc's anymore.

I am running the stock kernel 2.6.13 from current, and the nvidia driver is the latest one.

Here is the output of the xorg.log file, i hope somebody will be able to help me.

Re: nvidia strangeness

From the output of the log:

Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! 

Have you removed the dri support in xorg.conf?

Nvidia doesn't use this if i remember correct.

And then:

(WW) NVIDIA(0): OpenGL is only supported in depths 16 and 24 

Have you set the default depth???
Add this line to xorg.conf in the Screen section:

DefaultDepth 16

My nvidia-card must have this line to work correct sad

Don't know if this help, but you can try

Re: nvidia strangeness

Well, i uncommented the "dri" line and added the defaultdepth 16, but i still get the same errors.Thanks for the advice though smile I think the following lines of the xorg.log show where the problem lies; but i can't understand what it means ...

Re: nvidia strangeness

nope.....

you need to comment out the dri line and GLcore
add load glx
turn off asny fancy options you have such as renderAccel

Re: nvidia strangeness

sorry to disappoint you, i still get the same errors and the x server output still looks the same. I am seriously beginning to suspect some hardware failure here. But why the heck does the card work with the "nv" driver then? :S

Re: nvidia strangeness

Post your xorg.conf file at pastebin.com and put a link here. Just so we can make sure nobody's getting their wires crossed smile

Re: nvidia strangeness

http://pastebin.com/421958 - xorg.conf file (what it looks like set to nvidia driver)
http://pastebin.com/421965 - complete xorg.log file

I hope this helps a bit, the lines of interest have been highlighted.

Re: nvidia strangeness

edid error...

thats your monitor not nvidia check you have the modelines and refresh rates correct

if the are add

Options IgnoreEdid "true"

to the card section of your xorg.conf its a valid nvidia flag for this issue

as the card and monotor ain't talikng nicely....

Re: nvidia strangeness

Well right now i'm running 1280x1024 @ 24 bpp, with the "nv" driver, and i'm not having any problems (i never had, with the "nv" driver). So i really don't think that's the problem. Thanks for explaining what the EDID error meant, i was wondering about that one.

Right now i'm considering to update the bios on my motherboard, since i think that might solve the problem. I already tried updating the nvidia-bios, but didn't find any new flash images.

Re: nvidia strangeness

Thats the point.
when you are useing the nvidia driver the card and monitor aren'y syncing porpoerly, nv is a different driver so same issue does not affect it, further done your log, it goes on to say that it is dropping you to fb as the mode cannot be obtained, this is where it is failing as the fb provided by the nvidia driver is next to useless.

Re: nvidia strangeness

The sync ranges are correct, i'm sure, but i tried to pass the following line to the driver anyways:
Option "IgnoreEdid" "true"
and, as expected, it made no difference. i still get those NVIDIA WAIT lines in the log, everything goes black and nothing responds sad

Thanks for the help anyways, i really appreciate the help i get in this forum.

Re: nvidia strangeness

You won't believe this;

I've tried quite a few things now, and after i installed xp and updated the bios on my motherboard, my nvidia card worked like a dream. On xp. So i thought i could just install arch again and everything would be fine. But guess what? It doesn't work under arch!  :shock:

I guess i'll try out some of the other distros out there, probably the 64bit SUSE and maybe slamd64, but it'll only be a matter of time for me to get back to arch, no doubt. I just hope the trouble with the driver is solved by then.
