Getting nVidia 71xx driver to work.

I spent much of last night installing and setting up Arch Linux. During the installation, I attempted to install the "nvidia-71xx" driver so I could make use of my Riva TNT2 card. However, I met with a problem during the configuration: nvidia-xconfig was not present. So, how do I go about installing and configuring nvidia-71xx now?

I managed to get nvidia-71xx installed, and I manually configured xorg.conf. But now, ksplash is crashing whenever I log in. Running "glxinfo" in the command line reveals this:

Getting NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 to work?

Hi,
i'm trying to get my video card to work correctly. It seems to be:
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro GPU
I checked in Xorg's logs and it seems it wants a driver called nvidia-71xx. I checked in the repositories and it doesn't seem to be there. I found a package on the Nvidia site but it asks me to compile a custom kernel or something like that. Anybody knows what's the proper way to make this card works? The Nvidia packages on the site didn't seem to work on it, they are all too new, even the old one.
EDIT: Saw the post about the new package and installed it. I now get a bunch of lines on screen but no image.

As far as I know you would need the 71.XXX series of the driver. Unfortunately nvidia did not update it for use with xorg >1.5.
Check out this thread:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122436
There is a small chance that we may add support in the future, but there currently are no plans to do so, as Aaron said.
What do you mean with "and no new 'nv' driver's added"? What das X -configure say which drivers are available?

Trying to get HD-DVD drive to work on Satellite P100-463

Hi everybody.
I bought this baby on the weekend and since I am struggeling trying to get HD-DVD to work on it. I added the xbox 360 HD_DVD drive but the Power DVD Software Advisor keeps telling that the graphic card 9Geforce Go 7900) drivers need to be updated in order to play HD-DVD content. Now, there is no newer driver available as the one installed (84.0?)
Can anybody please advise if the card supports hdcp protection anyways? Maybe my problem has another source.
Thanks for advice.

Wait do you use the drive designed for the Xbox in the Satellite P100?
Hmm, Im surprised that this device is compatible with the Toshiba notebook.
Anyway, as far as I know you need a special DVD software player to play and watch HD-DVD on the notebook.
A simple WinDVD does not support the new HD-DVDs.
By the way: I know one Toshiba model that was delivered with the HD_DVD drive.
It was a Qosmio G30 DVD HD Model.
I found in the driver download section on the Toshiba site a new update of Nvidia GeForce Go7600 graphic card driver Version 8.3.2.7
But I dont know if its compatible with you card...

Can\'t get both rom drives to work at the same time

HI I just finished building my new system with the MSI 6585 and everything works well EXCEPT my two roms drives. I can get one to work or the other to work but not both at the same time. I have the hard drive on the primary IDE and both rom drives on the secondary IDE. I tried setting one up as master and one as slave. I tried them the opposite way around. I tried setting them both on cable select. If I try to boot with both of them hooked up the computer refuses to boot past post . Can anyone give me any suggestions please?
I am running XP pro with 512 megs of ddr ram .
The cd burner is a liteon 40X12Xthe 48. To be honest I cannot remember what brand the DVD player/cd player is ..
Thank you
Linda :D

:D Thank you thank you thank.. you .. just got back from the computer store.. LOVE that place.. with a brand spanking new round cable and voila .. both roms working..
I had tried several cables I had here at home.. but I guess they are all hooped.. :(
YEHAAAAAA..

Cannot get an optical drive to work in eMac 700MHz

Hi all,
I recently acquired a 700MHz G4 eMac and found that its Combo drive wasn't working. I could eject the tray and put a disc in, but it would then spin the disc forever and make a loud whirring noise.
I decided to swap it out for a SuperDrive that I'd just removed from my Power Mac G5. It's a Pioneer DVR-108AA which I flashed to enable Dual Layer support on it, so it's now simply a Pioneer DVR-108.
This SuperDrive works perfectly well in the G5, but when I go through the drama of dismantling the eMac and putting it back together with this drive in it, it's not recognised at all.
When I boot into OS X 10.4.10 I get a message saying I'd inserted a disc that OS X couldn't use; do I want to initialize it, etc.
System Profiler says no disc burner was found. I did once get Disk Utility to recognise it, but it thought it was a hard drive model "PHONEER DVB-108" - the characters were slightly transposed (like Ceefax and Teletext!), so I thought it might have been the IDE/ATA cable. I got an 80-wire 40-pin cable and tried that, but it still didn't get recognised.
Is there anything I can try to get this working? I'm not afraid of opening the eMac and tinkering, but I draw the line before I get to soldering...
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
dp

Yeah, reset the PRAM and set the jumper to the same as the drive that was in there (Cable Select). I also tried it on Master and Slave, too, but it doesn't work.
The original drive is back in there now, and it makes a 'clunk-whirr' noise on bootup, but OS X never recognises it.
It's quite annoying because I have a 6 year old iMac G3 whose CD-R/RW drive is still going strong...

Unable get my hard drive to work

A couple of weeks ago my powerbook started to act strangely. It would freeze and give me no option but to do a hard reboot. Then suddenltly, it would not boot up. After several attempts I manage to boot up and back up my hard drive. I then tried to repair the hard drive and the computer kept freezing up at all atempts. I did the same from the OSX disk and the troubles persisted.
Finally I figure I should just erase the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. I was able to erase the drive and last night I got as far as initiating the installation of the operating system from the disk. Unfortunately the process did not complete and instead, the computer froze.
Today I booted up from the disk a few times and tried to repair the disk. Finally I figure I should try errasing it once more and well, this time I was not able to complete even that as the computer froze once more. At this point I am able to start the computer from the disk but besides that, nothing else seems to work as all leads to a frozen drive.
I am starting to think that I might need a new hard drive. Any ideas on what to do and if I should replace the drive, where can I get a drive for my old G4?
Thanks ahead.
Rom.

rvallejor:
I am starting to think that I might need a new hard drive.
I am beginning to think so, too. Go ahead and try with the original RAM and see what happens. I do not think that the logic board RAM is the issue.
Being able to boot from the install disk or the AHT disk but not the internal HDD seems to point to the internal HDD. So after testing the original RAM, if it does not help, try completely reformatting the HDD and re-installing the OS.

How do you get a jump drive to work on MacBook pro?

I have a new MacBook pro and I am trying to access work from a jump drive and my computer is not recognizing the drive. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or how to fix it? Thanks!

Have you tried the other USB port? Do you have any other USB drive to connect to see if the port is not working? When the jump drive is connected open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Is the drive listed in the DU sidebar?

Can't get mail to display, quit or open? Also I can't get photo card drive to work or even shut down the computer because mail won't quit.

Help, I can't get my postage stamp icon to close. I also can't get a photo card to load or be recognized which I think is due to the mail malfunction. I tried to restart the computer but it is aborted because mail is still open. It also won't display or open. The mail heading is at the top but it doesn't have the quit option in bold.
Any help would be appreciated.

Press command + option + esc keys on the keyboard together at the same time.
Wait.
Force Quit window will open.
Select Mail, if not already.
Click the "Force Quit" button at the bottom of the window.
Wait. Mail should quit.
If this does not help, press and hold the power button for more than 7 seconds.
Computer will shut down. You may lose the unsaved work.
Best.

Is there a TB limit on Macs over USB? Trying to get a 3TB drive to work in a dock over USB and it shows up as a 800Gig drive.

I purchased a StarTech Dual Dock eSata / USB 2.0 model #:SATADOCK22UE. I've tried using it with 3TB drives and it works fine over eSata, but when I plug it in via USB, the drives show up un-initialized and in disk utility, show up as 800Gig drives. I contacted StarTech's technical support and they said this is a limitation in Mac's USB chipset. The max you can plug into USB is 2TB. Is this correct? I've never heard of this before.
I have a Mac Pro 3,1, running Mountain Lion. I tried the dock on a Mac Mini, same thing.

The answer you got is only have right. There are certain limits that limit you to 2.2TB.
It is a limitation in a chipset, but NOT the one in the Mac. It is a limitation of the Enclosure.
The technician who advised you needs additional training.

Hi
in DOS (which 3.11 is run in) you must manually add a driver in Config.sys and also load the CD-extension in Autoexec.bat.
If you need an example of that, please reply and I'll try to get hold of one.

Getting airport hard drive to work on pc

My airport unity see the hard drive but I can't get it to be seen on my PC network help

Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how to access an AirPort Disk from either a Mac or PC.

Cannot get brand new hard drive to work. Disk utility states operation not supported when I try to erase or partition?

Without any success, I cannot get my hard drive to work in disk utilities. I am able to see the disk in the upper left hand column, but when trying to initiliaze the software always reads operation not supported. Any ideas?

You probably have too new a hard disk. Contact the hard disk manufacturer and ask what jumper setting is needed to drop to 1.5 Gbps SATA speed.
Either that, or return the disk, and go to http://www.macsales.com/
They can be sure to equip you with a proper hard disk.

Nvidia-71xx no longer in repositories??

Hi,
I have an old computer with a nvidia riva TNT2 video card in it.
After reading the README at
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L … dix-a.html
I believe I need the nvidia-71xx driver for this video card to work.
(I read about this package somewhere on this wiki)
When I type "pacman -Ss nvidia" however, this package does not appear
among the matching packages.
The same goes when I do a package search for "nvidia" on the archlinux
webpage.
My guess is that my video card is no longer supported in the current
kernel, or am I missing something?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just so used to archlinux
working without a glitch

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!
I already fixed the problem, though, by typing the magical
commands:
pacman -S xorg
and
hwd -x
I guess I'll add nvidia to my list of 'corporations that suck' now

ICloud Drive not working

Hey guys, badly need your help (and wisdom)!!
I'll tell you my story: this morning I woke up early (got insomnia at times) and asked myself "why not finally upgrade my iOS devices to iOS 8?". I've got an iPad 3er gen and an iPhone 4S (both running iOS7 'till today). So I did a clean install on them both by restoring them via iTunes. That went fine. The problem came when I tried to sign up to iCloud after restoring. I tapped on "Update to iCloud Drive" (I had iOS 7 'till this morning so I just had 'normal' iCloud). I've been so unlucky that the day I've chosen to carry out the upgrade (it's taken my time to make my mind up) has been exactly the day iCloud has been down most of the time so now when I go to Settings and then iCloud, the item "iCloud Drive" says "Updating..." and just besides it, there's the so-called spinning ball (the typical that shows up when something is loading) and nothing happens (it's been like this the whole day). It happens just the same on both devices, the iPad and the iPhone, and also on my iMac (it runs Yosemite, just in case someone is wondering). What can I do to get my iCloud Drive finally working? I've tried to log out and then in on all of the devices but that didn't work. Any help will be hugely appreciated. Thanks!!!

I haven't seen that before, so I would look at that logically. Icloud drive has to be updated on apple server and on your devices. If you login to icloud.com and can click on icloud drive and access documents - then server had been updated and you need to troubleshoot devices with normal pattern -restart -reset- restore. Start with one device and do not touch others. If you can not login and open, that would mean changes are still being made on the icloud server. I do not believe you can speed up anything there, but I would try to turn drive off on all devices and leave it for few days. No other ideas, sorry.
