Hi.
I have Nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000 graphic card. And i dont know which driver to use. Untill now i was without xorg.conf file and it worked. But now I want to use opengl or python-opengl so I runned nvidia-xconfig. It has generated new xorg.conf file and nothing is working now. Even if I delete this xorg.conf file it's not working... When I run startx i get this:
Can someone help me? I really don't know what to do.

make sure you have nvidia-96xx & nvidia-96xx-utils installed. (drivers for GeForce4 MX 4000) also make SURE you have kernel26-headers installed. try to generate a new xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig as root.
If no joy from that post /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.

I installed nvidia-96xx & nvidia-96xx-utils. I don't have kernel26-headers but I have kernel-headers. Pacman can't find kernel26-headers. I've runned nvidia-xconfig as a root. Still not working. So here are my xorg.conf & Xorg.0.log:

you shouldn't have kernel-headers.. it been replaced by linux-api-headers some time ago. Seems your system is fairly out of date. maybe change you mirror... then do a pacman -Syyu THEN try install kernel26-headers.
Also just as a test; change Driver "nvidia" in xorg.conf to Driver "vesa" and see if it will boot up for you.

Ok. I updated sistem. And now i have kernel26-headers. Rebooted. But still not working.
With vesa works, but it is bad resolution...

Hello. I believe I have the same card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1)
Here is the xorg.conf I use for when I use the Nvidia Driver.

This works for me although it may be a little redundant in some areas (I haven't had time to mess with it too much). This is for a 23" LCD ACER H233H which gives 1920x1080 resolution and it works well for me. This config is for when I use the nvidia-96xx and the appropriate utilities. You will probably have to change it a little for your hardware (monitor). Perhaps that might be part of the issue too - what type of monitor are you using? I see samsung but what is the model if possible. You may need to tweak for your monitor.
ADDED: Looking at that segfault make sure you are up to date as the others said. Remove the regular nvidia binary if that is installed and make sure you install nvidia-96xx along with the 96xx utilities package because our cards use that.

Hi. Even with your xorg.conf i couldn't manage to set this to work. So I downloaded nouveau driver and now i can start X windows.
Thank you.

Cool. Nouveau is more OSS friendly anyway. If you need to have 3d acceleration later though you might try it again after a day or so. A new nvidia-96xxx just hit my mirror this morning which is supposed to have better support on newer kernels and Xorg servers.
