mephostophilis · 2011-05-11 04:36:25

I trided to install nvidia drvers "nvidia nvidia-utils" about ten days ago.
First installed nvidia nvidia-utils then removed xf86-video-nouveau drivers.
After rebooted and enter "xinit gnome-session on the comand line I get these messages:

Please check log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log

xinit: give up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

Perhaps you forgot to remove the xorg config mentioned here after installing the nvidia drivers, your xorg log shows the nouveau driver being loaded instead of the nvidia one.

Mr.Elendig · 2011-05-12 14:50:34

You probably have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf or similar.

I ran nvidia-xconfig (Like says to do in the Wiki) rebooted and it worked!
Thanks for the help.
