[Solved] AUR: Nvidia legacy drivers for MX4000 not working?

Hi.
I'm attempting to turn an old Dell machine I've acquired into a 720p HTPC. I've already tested XBMC out on this machine via WinXP, and considering I've always gotten better video playback through Linux, I thought I'd try out a minimal Arch XBMC install.
Problem is that this card, the Geforce 4 MX 4000 (128MB AGP x4), is no longer supported in the current Nvidia packaging.
After reading the wiki, I configured my makepkg with the native parameter, built, and installed the AUR's 173xx Nvidia package.
When attempting to load X after configuring, I noticed in the output that it recognized the card, but notified me that I was only supported under the lagacy 96xx packaging. I then installed the nvidia-96xx, and nvidia-96xx-utils, packages from the aur.
After attempting either a non-configured X, or with one, I'm getting the message that my card isn't recognized. This is despite the fact that the vesa, and nouveau, drivers see it just fine. FYI - I boot the kernel with the 'vga=792' parameter in case that makes a difference.
The messages received when Xorg fails were something like the following.
WARNING
This server has a video driver ABI version of 12.0 that is not supported by this driver
AND
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I'm posting this from Windows, and I can't give you any net feedback while in Arch.

Well... after doing a more thorough web search, I found the Catalyst unofficial Arch repos here.
- http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/
I tried first to add them to my pacman.conf and install them, but Arch's new security measures said no-no-no. I have no clue how to add new repos as trusted after the initial pacman-key --init, so I manually downloaded the xorg packages needed.
As I had truly done a minimal net install followed by a 'pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit xterm', the only incompatibility messages I received were for the xf86-video-vesa and xf86-input-edev packages.
This was what was involved in getting this to work.
- Do core net install of Arch system, and reboot.
- Install minimal xorg from current repos through pacman via...
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
- Manual download, and downgrade to, xorg-server-1.10.4-1, xf86-input-evdev-2.6.0-3, or any other required xorg packages from the Catalyst repo.
- Install nvidia-96xx, and nvidia-96xx-utils, packages from AUR.
- Running 'X -configure' reported missing file error. Do a search for the missing file name minus the '.0' extension, and create a softlink with the extension included.
- Rerun 'X -configure', move xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, run 'nvidia-xconfig'.
BTW - the command line browser 'links' will help a lot before you have a GUI setup. In my case XBMC.

  • 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.

  • Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

    Hello again,
    Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

    YES we are both stating the same thing however in different terms. You will be fine with the updates that you are talking about. Just ensure that the drivers that you are updating match the make/model of your graphics adapter.
    If something doesn't work out then you can always revert back to the previous driver.

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem with my Dell Latitude E4310, and apparently also the E6410, E6510.
    The solution for me was to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14
    I tried that, unfortunately it does not work with this chipset. I do get a different set of channels though but it still cannot record anything. Maybe this chipset is too "new" for alsa. The latest release dates back from the end of January. Support for it is explicitly stated in the changelog to 1.0.24 but perhaps the recording part of it slipped through the cracks. ALSA bug tracking system seems quite closed.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Skype 6.3 upgrade for Mac not working

    [Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Skype upgrade for Mac not working"]
    BE WARNED - just because you are being asked to upgrade your Skype, it does not mean it will work on your machine. I am a fairly regular user of Skype and this morning was unable to log-in, being told that I needed to upgrade. I did so to 6.3.0.602 but I was unable to log-in once the software had downloaded. After some research on the forums and finally a text chat with Support, I was told that Skype 6.3.0.602 requires a Mac OSX of 10.9 or above - I have 10.5.8
    "So what can I do", I asked the tech support. The answer is nothing (unless I get new OS X software) - there is no Skype software programme that supports my operating system and no timeframe for when it might be available.
    Huh? That's right. It's just not available. So for now, users with less than OS X 10.9 will be unable to use Skype when they are instructed to upgrade. It really doesn't make sense. But just so you know....

    Please look at the top of the community page, and you will find a box "Search:". Write your problem here "Upgrade not working" and see what crops up. Most likely you will be taken somewher like here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/quot-We-ve-signed-you-out-because-your-using-an-outdated-version/m...  
    Here you will read that the latest versions of Skype will not work on some of the versions of MacOS, and that PPC requires one version, Leopard another, Snow leopard another, Mountain Lion another. They are indoctrinated with a stamp in their forehead to enforce their congregation of true believers to install the latest with all "security fixes" or death is looming. They are not used to software that is 2 years old. 
    So, with Mac, we have different operating systems and different sets of libraries - and things may go belly up if you upgrade - a OS feature is done differently, a libary has been placed inside the OS, and is no longer needed - and if you try to use it, you will be trapped.
    Install the latest version that works for your Mac, and make sure to freeze this. Update the "info.plist" file and tell Skype that you use their latest should they pry. As long as it works, do not change anything!
    And make the change to stop Skype from checking every time you start.

  • ADI Sound Drivers for Mini Note 2133 Netbook

    Have just spent a day removing Linux and installing Windows XP pro on a new Mini Note 2133 Netbook, downloaded all the relevant XP Drivers prior to installing XP, after installation run all the HP Drivers with no problem - Except the ADI Sound Drivers, on running this driver installation it will only let me install it on the C: Drive, I have installed Windows XP on the E: Drive and left the C: drive with Linux, each time I run the ADI Driver it automatically tries to install on the C: drive, it fails because C: drive is not part of the XP installation.  All other HP Drivers for the MIni Note, pause and prompt for where you want to install the driver, the ADI driver does not.  So the mini note runs fine with XP but no sound.  Any ideas what I can do to correct this prob.

    Well I'm an idiot and the answer was staring me in the face in my own post: if adding those modules to mkinitcpio.conf made the issue start earlier, maybe one of them is the problem.
    Passing "modprobe.blacklist=viafb" to the kernel at boot (by pressing TAB at the syslinux menu and appending it to the end) did the trick, both on the installed system and for the archiso install media.  Marking as solved.

  • ATI Radeon X1900 Xt Drivers for Leopard not yet provided

    Still waiting For Apple to provide Leopard level drivers for the ATI Radeon X1900XT graphics card. Problems are documented as horizontal lines on display and include periods of lockups but only when running under Leopard. Graphics card has been cleaned and reset and re-installed according to manufacturers specifications. They conclude the required drivers to support this card can only come from Apple.
    Backing off of Leopard is NOT an option. There are very few cards that fit this G5 (not a MacPro). I have never had this much trouble trying to get help. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Kernel requirements for HPLIP (not working) [SOLVED]

    My printer (connected to the network through my router with a static ip address) used to work fine with HPLIP and CUPS. When I last tested, I was (and am) using a custom-compiled zen kernel; the relevant modules that I compiled (separately, not into the kernel) are plip, ppdev, and parport. I am guessing that it is a combination of package upgrades and my custom kernel that is causing the problem below:
    My printer is detected by CUPS, and I can see it on localhost:631. When I send jobs to it, it begins "processing" them, then hangs on a (to-print) page and I see the message
    /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed
    I deleted the printer from CUPS and re-added using
    sudo hp-setup
    The process goes just fine, with hp-setup only throwing a warning about how dbus must be running for the PC to fax (with which I am not concerned).
    When I run hp-testpage, I get this:
    redscare:~> hp-testpage

    Password = empty
    Result
    Connection test fails in portal. The settings appear ok.
    The only thing I can think of is that user specified in portal user mapping is not setup properly on SQLServer.
    Also:
    When I run link:
    http://localhost:53000/TestJDBC_Web/TestJDBCPage.jsp
    my jdbc service MSSQL_JDBC does not appear. MSSQL_JDBC was cloned from SDK_JDBC and the libray for drivers was added
    I am running MSSQL 2000 SP4 but using JDBC drivers for SP3 as I didn't find any for SP4 and assumed they would work for SP4
    What am I missing?

    Raynald,
    I think I am having a similar problem.
    I also cloned the connection names in Vis. Administrator to the SDK_name.
    Indeed it now appears in the test servlet, and I can succesfully execute SQL statements from there.
    So the connector seems ok.
    But I have still problems with the Connection Test in the Portal.
    I am trying to make BI JDBC system to be able to use my database from the Visual Composer.
    I am using these properties:
    CodeLink = com.sap.portal.systems.bi.SAP_BI_JDBC
    ConnectionFactoryClass = SDK_TESTDB
    ConnectionUrl = jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://sapserver:1433;databaseName=TestDb
    (this url is the same as in Vis. Administrator)
    Driver Class Name =  net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
    Fixed Catalog = empty
    Fixed Schema = empty
    System Type = SAP_BI_JDBC
    User Mapping = admin, user
    I am logged in as Administrator, so I added the login credentials at the User Mapping page of the Administrator user.
    When I use Connection Test function from the portal I get the following messages:
    Retrieval of default alias successful
    Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
    What can I do to solve this problem?

    Hello  Issue could be cause by drivers. I suggest you to install HP SoftPaq Download Manager
    This software detects what drivers are missing and auto update it.
