NVIDIA Linux drivers problem

Hey all,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop with an Nvidia 8600M GT graphics card. I have tried installing Nvidia's latest linux drivers with their .sh installer from their site, but it seems that using any driver past 100.14.09 causes X to break. When I startx using a driver > 100.14.09 all I get is a white screen that slowly fades to a weird grey, or sometimes the colors get all garbled (ex. white, green, red all over the place)
I have no idea whats wrong, so right now I'm sticking with 100.14.09, but I'm just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and what you did to work around it. I have had the problem on both Arch and Ubuntu.
Thanks

It'll probably be fixed in one release, then broken again in the next
Nvidia are bad at drivers. See forum for all the problems - lockups, black screen, white screen, striped screen, 100% fanspeed, corrupted textures. Every problem imaginable

Using Linux with Nvidia binary drivers, how do I enable WebGL in Firefox 8?

I've heard it is possible to use WebGL in firefox 8 for linux if using Nvidia binary drivers, but I haven't found a succinct recipe. can someone point me to a working recipe?
thanks!

You have a WebGL renderer listed on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page:
WebGL Renderer: NVIDIA Corporation -- GeForce 9800 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! -- 3.3.0 NVIDIA 280.13
You can check the values of the webgl prefs on the about:config page via the location bar.

New kernel and problems installing nvidia-legacy drivers

I just compiled new kernel, and I can't install nvidia-legacy drivers properly. Pacman installs them, but the module (nvidia.ko) goes to /lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH, and I want it to 2.6.19.2.. It doesn't work if I just copy the module..
I've compiled kernel many times without problems when I was still using Slackware. So, what do I need to configure to use the new module directory? I Propably made some small/stupid mistake..
I tried legacy drivers from nvidia.com, but they didnt compile.. weird, gonna try that again too..

You need to install the nvidia drivers, or any other non-kernel drivers, specifically for the kernel you are using. Arch packages the nvidia drivers to work with the Arch kernel packages, and the "Arch way" to deal with your situation is to modify the appropriate PKGBUILD to match your kernel, create a custom package with makepkg, and install it with pacman.
You can also use the nvidia installer, but in that case the nvidia files installed on your system will not be under pacman's control.

Help reverting to nvidia 6629 drivers

ok folks,
I need to revert to the 6629 driver for my nvidia mx 420 pci graphics card (64 MB). I have downloaded the installer, and am trying on a brand new install as of today. It says I need the kernel source....but shouldn't that be present? or is the supplied kernel not compiled using gcc 3.4.3? Do I need to simply recomplie the kernel or do I need additional packages? If someone could help me out that would be great.
Since my move from debian stable with the 6629 drivers I find that none of the newer versions are stable with my nforce 2 board...constant crashing, and have heard others find this to work. A quick walkthrough would be appriciated, as I am getting used to this new packaging system.

THe installer doesn't prompt me with errors until after the build, where it says it was unable to build the module. I have attached my log. Any help would be great.

Nvidia-Beta drivers crash with Kernel 3.18.2

After the upgrade to kernel 3.18.2 I recompiled the NVIDIA-Beta drivers to discover that crashes in the kernel. Has anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this issue or have had similar problems?

ok, that worked.
but my x server will not start after downgrading linux kernel, nvidia and nvidia-utils. oO
looks like the known problem with the kernel and nvidia freeze. are there more packages that i have to downgrade?

Not Able To Install Nvidia Graphics Drivers

Hello all!
This past week I just finished putting my new system together with a K8N Diamond Plus. Only major problem right now is i am not able to install Nvidia's drivers. Below are my components...
XP 64-Bit Edition
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
BFG 7900 GTX 512MB
1 Gig Coirsar Ram
2 Wester digital HD in Raid 0
When I try and install the graphics drivers i get the message " The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
I used the chip set drivers listed here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=710&kind=1
Also I have tried the ones from NVIDIA's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp64_x16_6.83
The graphics drivers i used are from NVIDIA's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_81.98.html
BFG Tech support guy had me look under display adapters in device manager. It only has Standard VGA Graphics Adapter listed. He said I did not have my chip set drivers installed (though i have), or the motherboard was not recognizing it. Also he said they do not support XP-64 and would not offer me any more support so long as i run it.
I just can not believe that XP 64, 7900 GTX, and this great K8N Diamond Plus can not get along.
Any advice anyone has for getting my Diamond Plus and my graphics card to jive together would be greatly appricated.
Thankyou all!!

Thankyou guys for the responses. I was able to find drivers that worked with my card here..
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?drivers&series=80&os=2&type=1&dir=1
Now my only current issue left is that I have no sound. It is enabled in the BIOS, installed the 64-bit drivers from MSI site, tired installing drivers off disk. Any suggestion?

Linux font problem with LabVIEW 7 Express

Is there a change in how LabVIEW 7 Express for Linux
uses fonts? When I run LabVIEW 6.1 (on the same
machine) the standard font (10pt Application) looks
very nice (in menus, front panel and diagram). With
LabVIEW 7 they are not so good to read. What can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Armin Herzer

Hello Evan,
Sorry for the late replay, but I was on holiday last week.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux woody 3.0 (testing). The video driver is the one which is shipped with XFree86 in this Debian installation. I also used the newest video driver from NVidia but the problem is the same (btw. is this a NVidia problem? Unfortunally I can only test on machines with NVidia cards). I attached a screenshot to visualize the problem.
The problem is not VI specific. All text (menus, comments and so on) have this ugly font.
Thanks in advance,

WinProducer2 start error, won't run with nVidia Capture drivers

I'm not having a good experience with the bundled WinProducer2 that came with my MX440VT8x-128.
If I have either of the versions of the nVidia capture-drivers that came on the card's CD (that's v. 1.16 or 1.18) installed, or the 1.22 version from nVidia's website (as of 2-20-03), and then try to start WinProducer, I get the same start-error every time:
"WinProducer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows....need to restart program...an error log is being generated."
If I look at the Dr. Watson log, it says WinProducer 2 generated "Exception Violation c00005."
If I uninstall the nVidia capture-drivers, WinProducer2 opens right up just fine, but, of course, with no capture capability.
I downloaded and tried (after uninstalling v.2) WinProducer3 from InterVideo's website yesterday (2/20/03), with the exact same results! ???
Anybody else having this problem?
This is under Win2k, w/SP2, then added SP3, with no improvement.

After I made the original post, I tried a lot more things that didn't help:
I booted in safe mode and tried it but PSP gave an error message that it wouldn't run with the screen resolution that low (800x600); so it did try to run. So I booted normally and set the screen rez to 800x600 manually, then tried to run PSP and got the same error message.
I did a clean boot with all start-up programs and all services disabled; PSP still wouldn't run.
I disabled my anti-virus and PSP still wouldn't run.
Disabled my video card in the device manager and booted with my on-board video; PSP still wouldn't run.
There's never an error message as long as the screen rez is high enough; when I try to run it, it looks like it's starting to run but nothing ever happens.

After effects instantly crashes while using opengl with nvidias new drivers 178.24

Since I installed nvidias new drivers 178.24, after effects instantly crashes while using opengl. Anyone else experienced this?
I have Geforce 8600 GT.
As a minor note, I had major problems with the new quicktime 7.5.5 update, both After effects and Premiere got problems with interpreting footage and frames here and there got the "missing frame" look. I also got more problems so I uninstalled it instantly. Is there a major problem with the update or a major problem with me?
Thanks
/ Olle

I use Vista (in retroperspective this was probably a mistake, but the company wanted to test the capabilities with Vista when we bought the computer a year ago). And specs are:
*Graphics: Asus Extreme GeForce 8600GT SILENT 512MB DDR3 TV-out HDTV DUAL DVI RETAIL PCI Express
*HD: Samsung HD501LJ 500GB 7200rpm 16MB SATA2

*Power: Sirtec/Chieftec CFT-750-14C 750W 140mm fan ATX2.0 20/24-pin 4/8-pin 12V Modular
Sorry not to give more info on the Quicktime problem, I don't remember exactly what more problems there where as we have had extremely much to do these last couple of weeks and I just freaked out and uninstalled it as soon as the problems emerged. I do remember the frame issue however, it was very clear, i imported an image sequence in premiere and everything worked fine, then i updated and frames were suddenly dropped, then i uninstalled and installed 7.5 again and it worked just fine. I also tried to flush the cache, restart and generally search for the source of the problem for a couple of hours.

Can not install NVIDIA Display Drivers

I have a T61 (7664-17U) with XP SP2.
For sometime now I've had problems with the NVIDIA display drivers. Occasionally my NVIDIA drivers disappear and are replaced by VGA . I notice this when I can't Standby or Hibernate my system, those options are grayed out. Also, interacting with the display is difficult..
I've tried several times to update my 12/2007 drivers to the latest ones from the Lenovo site. The latest drivers appear to be installing (InstallShield?) but I get a message after a few minutes that "The system has not been modified. To install the program at a later time, run the installation again." No other information.
I found out early that if I install the old drivers everything was OK, until yesterday. Yesterday when I tried to install the old drivers I got
" Error Code: -5004 : 0x80070005 rror InformationSetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1968 PAPP:NVIDIA Display Drivers PVENDOR:NVIDIA Corporation (http://www.nvidia.com/) PGUID:EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD $9.1.0.429
@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 6.0.2900.2180."
I tried several iterations of installing the drivers including downloading the latest ThinkVantage installer.
How can I solve this problem? Should I try downloading the latest drivers directly from NVIDIA website?
I'm very appreciate of any help! Thanks, Tilly

"Should I try downloading the latest drivers directly from NVIDIA website?"
You can't install drivers obtained from the NVidia website. You'll get a "No compatible hardware found" message.
You're supposed to only install video drivers obtained from Lenovo.
If your T61 is still under warranty, a request for service is in order.

Alternative to nVidia WDM Drivers

My Configuration:
Hello, I am having a lot of problems with the nVidia WDM drivers (all versions) and MSI Media Center II (w.patch).
I am using Pal-B and have tried using all the Pal modes, can't use NTSC/Secam.
I have a MSI GeForce FX 5600 256MB (VTDR-256) with Remote and a ViVo connector.
The Problem:
The problem that I am having is whenever I run Media Center II, and try to record something, after some time, say 10 or 20 minutes I get a blue screen and the system reboots.
Error Messages:
The blue screen has the following information on it:
IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL_
After the line which says STOP*----
nv4_mini.sys
Temporary Solution:
If I switch to NTSC the programs record fine and I don't any blue screen, however since my TV system is PAL and switching to any NTSC mode gives me the small problem of 1/4 picture being cropped from the bottom.
Could someone tell me of some other program that I can use, to record my TV shows besides Media Center II or maybe a different driver that won't give me this error.
I have tried the trial version of Ulead Media Studio but the problem is that the program records and each show is of about 3-4GB in size, I need a program which records in good quality and small size as well.
I have also tried Dr.DivX but I can't seem to capture anything using that program.
Also, I have looked at other threads but have not found any help yet.
Thread #1
Thread #2
Thread #3

Uninstall NVIDIA IDE drivers--how?

I've read a lot about how the NVIDIA IDE drivers are causing problems. How do I uninstall them? Is it just from the driver tab for the NVIDIA PATA drivers in Device Manager or do I uninstall the NVIDIA drivers from Add/Remove programs?
Thanks!
Bruce

hansh,
Thanks for the info. I found "NVIDIA drivers" located in my Add/Remove programs, but when I clicked "Change/Remove", I did not see the NVIDIA IDE drivers listed. I'll have to double check what drivers are actually being used for the NVIDIA PATA controller.

Trouble with VDPAU with Nvidia Properitary Drivers

I've recently got arch on my machine, but I've been unable to get VDPAU to work as a hardware decoder for my media player. I have installed and am running the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers along with the packages nvidia-utils, libvdpau, and lib32-libvdpau. Also, vdpauinfo confirms that my GPU can support VDPAU. I've read the wiki's page on VDPAU, but I'm entirely new to Arch and still somewhat new to linux, so I'm afraid some things may have gone over my head.
Last edited by yeti3871 (2015-04-16 00:46:25)

I'm using mpv with the option "--hwdec=vdpau" the error oput is:
Trying to use hardware decoding
[ffmpeg/video] h264: decode_slice_header error
[ffmpeg/video] h264: no frame!
Error while decoding frame!
Error using hardware decoding, falling back to software decoding.

Petition to Synaptics about Linux drivers

To Synaptics Corporation:
I am writing this on my new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which comes with a beautiful screen and your Synaptics Clickpad. I have created this petition because there are a lot of problems with your hardware on Linux that are frustrating, time-wasting, and distracting.
I’ve been using your Trackpads happily on Linux for years, but with your new model, things are such a mess that they get in the way of my ability to work. What if Linux users added up all the time they have collectively wasted and sent you the bill? Given that Linux on the desktop has more marketshare than the Mac, the total number would have a lot of zeros. With the suffering I’ve been through, I’d sign up for $200 / year.
I know you spend most of your effort working on the Windows drivers, and that is fine because it is cheaper to maintain Linux drivers. The community will help you. I read you’ve written a Linux driver, but you never made it available. You are apparently happy to write something no one uses. There is a free driver Synaptics Linux kernel driver written for your users, but it is buggy with newer hardware and you aren’t helping fix it.
I wrote a full review of Linux on my new hardware talking about the problems with your mouse in more detail. The key point is that your new devices with an integrated button require smarter software to be usable. Well, now that you’ve pushed this new hardware of dubious benefit, what are you going to do? I create this petition to ask you to do three things:
Release a copy of your proprietary Linux driver under the GPL and publish it somewhere where it can be used as a reference.
Find a smart kernel engineer from somewhere in your 550-person company and have them help maintain the existing Linux driver.
Help ensure the Gnome, KDE, and XFCE user interfaces allow customers to configure the gestures and other advanced features. While you wait for the magic that is Windows 9, you must have some free time.
We can wonder why Linux on the desktop hasn’t arrived like it has for cellphones and servers, but in the meanwhile, it would be nice if you made sure the effing mouse works out of the box.
If you are frustrated with Synaptics hardware on Linux, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/synaptics-corporation-help-maintain-linux-drivers

I absolutely agree and I doubt why for over a year this topic here is left without any official answer from Lenovo.
I am also *asking for releasing drivers available for Windows so I could make use of them on Linux*.
