Help installing nvidia and X
Hi
new to Linux & Arch, having trouble running X, hoping someone could help!
installed Arch no prob, followed wiki instructions for installing nvidia and then Xorg. When I try to start X I get "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!"
modprobe nvidiagives an error too
here is my Xorg log and xorg.conf. Hopefully someone can spot what I've done wrong!

Re: Help installing nvidia and X
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf| grep Modes
for my xorg.conf, under Section "Screen" I have the following Modes:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
#Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"However, yours is:
Modes "1600x1200_75"Is that valid?
And what error does modprobe give you?

Re: Help installing nvidia and X
The message I get is "module nvidia not found"
I *think* those screen settings are OK. They're the same ones as I was running in Gentoo without a problem.
thanks!

Re: Help installing nvidia and X
I think your problem is your using kernel 2.6.16
Current Operating System: Linux moschops 2.6.16-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 11 07:20:39 CEST 2006 i686
pacman -Sy kernel26 to get the latest 2.6.18.* kernel
The nvidia package is built against 2.6.18 thats why it can't load the nvidia module
alternatively you could rebuild the nvidia package against your kernel but I would recommend upgrading kernel over that

Re: Help installing nvidia and X
Yes - the problem was the nvidia drivers were compiled against a newer version of the kernel.
Luppy, you may have solved my Linux problem, but I can still never forgive you for sleeping with my wife...
