Nvidia driver doesn't recognize GTX 275

I've followed the steps on the wiki for the nvidia driver, but when I start X it does not recognize my GTX 275 card. I think the driver may simply not support this card yet (it doesn't according to nvidia). Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know when a new driver will be released? Also, would the nouveau driver work temporarily until nvidia releases something?

We were having a similar issue. For some reason, the line that specifies which driver to use was not added to the xorg.conf file after installation. The steps shown above by deej are basically the same, but they add a lot of fluff to the xorg.conf file that may not be needed.
We were able to add it and get it to work by simply adding the following line to the xorg.conf file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Doesn't matter what this says"
Driver "nvidia" <-- This is the line we added
EndSection
Don't know if this applies to this distro as well (we are running ubuntu), but we had to change the file /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common from this:
DISABLED_MODULES=""
To this:
DISABLED_MODULES="nv" <-- We had to restart after this step
We have not done thorough testing on our machines, but have three of them up and running properly now. We have several more machines to work on and I'll try and get the exact process we are using posted on here (ex. Modify filex, install drivers, modify filey, etc.).

NVIDIA Driver doesn't recognize entire screen[SOLVED]

Hello,
i just installed Arch Linux onto a 4GB USB drive to test Arch Linux natively on my desktop PC.
It has a GeForce GTX 580 so I installed pacman -S nvidia + xorg-server and gnome.
My monitors native resolution is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz and it is conected via HDMI.
Now it looks like I have a smaller (active area) screen within my screen and 2-3cm black borders on the side.
WIthin that is the actual desktop which doesn't fill the entire active area either. You can see that because
it still has black borders which are little bit lighter thou.
When I use nvidia-settings and set my Desktop to 1920x1200 it streches into the disabled area. I have
to use 1680x1050 in order to have the entire desktop accessible.
During installation everything was fine with nouveau and my setup was using the native resolution. After
I booted my stick for the first time it loaded nouveau to but also didn't use my screen right. So I'm a bit
puzzled.
Anyone has advice?
Kind Regards,
blackout23

Do you have any advice on how to do that? I searched the internet for "VX2835wm EDID linux" and found similiar problems but no real solution.
I can get my EDID Information when booted into Windows but I don't think I can use it as Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-1:/..." The binaries
I get with AcquireEDID in the nvidia settings while in linux look very diffrent.

Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

Hi,
after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
Thanks for your help

Maybe this helps:
- Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
- Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- Then reboot the notebook
But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

DVD Drive Doesn't recognize Media Disc

I have an Envy dv7. Product # B6B75AV. DVD drive hpBD MLT UJ260
I have a program that will copy a dvd from the source, dvd drive #1, to the target same dvd drive #1.
When it is done copying the disc it ejects the original and asks to have a writable media disc inserted.
When I insert the DVD the drive doesn't recognize the blank dvd, keeps asking for it, and when I put it in, it spits back out saying to insert a writable disc. I have used the blank DVD+R for burning other things so it should work. I tired putting in 4 different blank discs to make sure the disc was ok.
Is there anyway to find out for sure whether this DVD writer uses DVD+R or DVD-R?
Any help will be appreciated.

My pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem? I am running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy. There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country. This was intended to prevent piracy.

Dv2915nr cd/dvd drive doesn't recognize when disk in. drive doesnt show up in device manager.

dv2915nr cd/dvd drive doesn't recognize when disk in. drive doesnt show up in device manager.

Hi,
Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware issue with the optical drive itself.
Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( ie outside of Windows operating system ), so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive
On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD. The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Let me know if this will run.

DP-K

NVIDIA driver doesn't dynamically change power source

I'm using the NVIDIA driver on an MSI laptop, and I've noticed that it doesn't dynamically detect my power source. The result of this is that if I boot the computer on battery power, then plug it in, the video card will continue to perform at less-than-maximum performance until I reload the driver with modprobe (of course, this is annoying because I have to exit from X11 first, then restart X11 after). This goes the other way, as well; that is, I can boot the machine on AC power, then unplug it and the video card will continue to run as if it were still on AC power. I have the "PowerMizer" configured to "Adaptive" in the settings.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Thanks.
Arch x86_64
NVIDIA 195.36.15
MSI MS-1651 laptop
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Took me a bit to work out why my nvidia card wouldn't behave the way I wanted it to on battery / AC.
I've just achieved the behaviour you're describing working on my Dell laptop (I wanted adaptive on battery, full performance on AC in X).
What works for me is:
Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x3322; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1"
... in xorg.conf and making sure you have installed acpid and starting it at boot.
It seems the nvidia driver uses acpid to detect if the cable has been pulled or not -- if you don't have acpid running it will always stay at max performance with my xorg.conf device settings listed above.
All I did was install acpid, started it at boot in rc.conf, no acpid configuration at all (i.e. I didn't touch a file except for rc.conf after I installed it), then I found the nvidia driver was able to detect the AC state.
If you want to tweak the settings for an on boot scenario (e.g. runlevel 3, no X), I'm pretty sure you can pass module parameters to get what you want -- however I haven't bothered with that as I'm always in X anyway.
Hope this helps, cheers.

I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

Drive doesn't recognize ANY DVDs or CDs?

Can someone explain real simple stupid like how to try to get my DVD/CD player to recognize disks again. I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-103 in my G4 am using Tiger 10.4.3. After installing Tiger my computer has fallen to pieces and this is the last one. Now I am seriously considering cleaning out the entire machine and starting anew as I have a G5 on order. Problem is how can I even reinstall is my DVD drive won't recognize any disks? It spins and spins and spits out the DVD. It will read nothing.
Thanks, Steph

One day the Pioneer DVR-106 drive I had in my G4 MDD stopped working it would accept disks. I tired everything. calls to apple care didnt help since this was an upgrade I added. I read everything on every site.
finally took the drive out of the computer and as I turned it over I heard a rattle. it had never rattled before. A search of posts on www.xlr8yourmac.com lead me to a posting about parts inisde the drive failing and in some cases some miniscule part could cause the drive to fail to read any disc. I was at my wits end and decided what the heck I was planning on Buying a new DVD-R drive anyway, so I opened the puppy up. I put everything out on my white utility table and took care to track every screw. To give me a reference point to how the drive looks and works I took apart a different CDROM drive that no longer worked. I noticed both units were similar internally.
well to make a long story short the culprit was a piece of dust that had got onto the Laser Lens and a piece of metal, some spring that lodged itself near the midle. It was magnetized and stuck to the drive middle area. I took the piece out and crossed my fingers. put it back together and decided to put it in an External 5.25" FW400 case which i have a few siting around for when I pull old HD's. Plugging in the now external Pioneer DVR-106 the unit turned on a-ok and voila the Mac recognized it and was able to read every DVd and CD and perfomred a succesflu burns for many DVD data discs and Audio CD's.
I posted my experience on xlr8yourmac.com and I am pretty sure I lucked out. But hey worse comes to worse, you can always pop that puppy open and see whats there. never know.
good luck anyway and you probably just better of to buy a new OEM Pioneer Superdrive, OWC aka macsales.com has some good bundles also Newegg.com has better deals for people who just want the Bare drive sans disks, cables, etc.

Combo drive doesn't recognize DVD movies

a665s5186 (1 year old) dvd/cd combo drive does not recognize dvd movies (does not show up in my computer).
Cd's play, record fine! Will recognize previously burnt sony dvd's, will not recognize previously burnt memorex dvd's. Will recognize blank sony and memorex dvd's and burn files to them, after ejecting will not recognize memorex dvd's, will recognize sony dvd's? MY SYSTEM BACK UP DISCS I BURNT TO MEMOREX DISCS CANNOT RE- INSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM. Please help my combo drive recognize and play dvd movies.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Peter,
I apologize for the hiatus. I tried several restore points, and reinstalled to out of the box state from the hard drive partition. Neither corrected the problem.
Out of curiosity, I installed Ubuntu operating system. The problem is duplicated, combo drive recognizes CDs does not recognize commercial DVD's. Does not recognize Microsoft office home & student 2010 installation disc,etc.
What else can I do? With the problem being duplicated with another operating system is it safe to say this is a hardware problem (the combo drive is defective?)
Thank You,
TPeterson1st

P100-240: Toshiba GPU driver is old, Nvidia driver doesn't enable the fan?

Hi,
I was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
The problem here is that:
a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
so, Upon using the Nvidia drivers the laptops fan does not kick in, sending the systems temporature up to 106cand finally turning it off. It turned back on but basic graphics acceleration then failed to work.
SO, can we get an updated driver build? OR some kind of fan control app? or can you update your bios to enable nvidias drivers to function?
I feel like I cannot use my laptop for its purpose at the moment- I have reverted to installing a non-ACPI pc driver to force the fans to stay on which works well but then basic system functions like turn off do not work.
I have also been advised that this design flaw could be considered to make the system "not fit for purpose" under which case I could just return the laptop under the Sale of Goods act.
Though really, i'd just like to get my system working properly. It's bad enough not being able to run Linux on it, but even worse that windows doesnt work properly with it with official drivers.
One final question: Can I get the older BIOSes? several fixes work with them but not with the 4.0 bios (mainly linux fixes but as long as one OS works I don't care!)
Any tips on this are also welcome! Thanks for your help. :-)

Hi
>was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
If you want to hear anything from Toshiba then you have to contact them. This forum is only a user to user forum and unfortunately you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
But maybe you want to hear my opinion;
>My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
>a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
Well, many Toshiba notebooks are delivered and equipped with the same graphic cards. Maybe you have to look in other notebook series which are delivered with the same card for a newer GPU driver.
But, you are right and generally the Toshiba graphic drivers are a little bit older as the original one from GPU manufacturer.
Why? First of all the nVidia or ATI original drivers are not designed for the notebook usage. These are drivers for desktop PC graphic cards. I visited the area for mobile drivers and found a info that I have to look on the notebook manufacturer site!!! This said everything!!!!
>b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
As mentioned above the original GPU drivers are not designed for the notebook usage.
Why? Because the notebook GPUs cannot be cooled like the graphic cards for the desktop PC!!!
The Toshiba own drivers support an overheating protection which helps to avoid an GPU damage!!!!
The original nVidia or ATI drivers do not support such overheating protection!!!
If you want to use such drivers, you can do this ONLY at your own risk!
>Can I get the older BIOSes?
It seems Toshiba page provides only the newest BIOS. Maybe the authorized service provider can help you and could send you an older BIOS version.
Two years ago I contacted the ASP in my country and got a early version of my BIOS for the A50

Optical drive doesn't recognize disks since update to 10.4.8

I've got an iBook G4 that I purchased from MCE Technologies with a slot loading superdrive. Since upgrading to 10.4.8, it won't recognize any disks, whether blank or software disks or DVD movies.
Anyone else having a similar problem?

PB G4 1.33GHz - New hard drive, doesn't recognize Airport card - did before

My old hard drive crashed in my Powerbook G4 1.33, so (after a very long wait), I bought another one on Ebay and installed it. It is working just fine now, but my computer no longer recognizes the AirPort card that I know is installed inside. It worked perfectly right up to the moment my computer crashed, so I'm at a loss. I've spent about 6 hours aimlessly searching for help, information, or consolation about this.

Zen Xtra driver doesn't recognize dev

Well, the saga began when I decided to update the drivers, firmware, and MediaSource software for my Zen Xtra (60GB). The first thing I did was update the driver (from version .23.00) to the latest (.30.03). Without even thinking about whether that would cause problems, I moved directly to updating the firmware. The instructions on Creative's download page explained how to update the firmware, including the dreaded "Reload OS", which erases the old firmware. I did this, and moved on. The next step was to re-connect the device, and run the new firmware program. The problem here was that the device was not detected, so I could not proceed. My Zen Xtra suddenly became a nice paper weight.
After much troubleshooting, I discovered that when plugging the device into another computer (a laptop), the laptop did recognize the device. The laptop was using the original drivers and software as shipped on the CD. I was able to continue with the firmware update from the laptop.
Moving back to the original machine where I had installed the .30.03 driver, it continued to fail to recognize the device. Reverting to the old driver (.23.00) resolved the problem.
So, my question is, what is the problem with the .30.03 driver? Is it known? And is there a workaround? Also, where can I obtain the driver releases in between .23.00 and .30.03 to try them?
Thanks in advance,
toddor

There has been the odd issue with the driver, but nothing common or definiti've.
You can force the device to look for the driver in the install folder, C:\Program Files\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers, assuming it installed OK. You can do this by going into Device Manager, finding the Zen Xtra, double-clicking on it (to go to its property page), then choose the Update Drivers button. Make sure to then choose the advanced option so you can specify the directory.
