[SOLVED] xrandr - configure crtc 0 failed

Oxide · 2017-06-12 12:05:01

Hey, I installed the Nvidia driver from their site for my graphics card (Geforce GT 730) today, and after reboot, I had a 1024x768 resolution and trying to add the actual resolution (1366x768) in xrandr gives the output:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

output of

lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D

:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1)

here's my Xorg.conf:

Why are you trying to use nouveau and nvidia at the same time and what does your xorg log look like?

Wild guess: you're running the vesa driver - which supports the vesa resolutions and nothing else.

Why did you do that? The nvidia driver is available using pacman.

I'd recommend undoing everything you've done so far and then following the wiki to install the nvidia drivers properly.

I know. I was dumb enough to think that it would work for arch linux too and it fucked up the system.

But, thanks, both of you. I had to uninstall the other drivers, and reinstall some others. I guess next time I'll go to the wiki first instead of a 3rd party.
