[solved]No video output in Skype with nvidia driver - vesa works fine!

Hi,
I'm struggling to get Skype video working. The webcam works perfectly - the other side can see me. But I can see neither myself nor my opponent - the corresponding place in the Skype window just gets white. It doesn't matter whether Compiz is active or not. I can also see myself when using cheese, video output also works properly.
Now, I supposed that it's an issue with my graphics driver (the proprietary nvidia driver) and changed it to vesa in the xorg.conf. Well, I have a resolution of 800x600 now, but the video in Skype is working perfectly! I will go ahead and try an older version of the nvidia driver but maybe it's a known issue and there is a workaround?
Thanks,
PhotonX

  • Problem with nvidia driver, causing system to be unusable

    Hello, I've got a problem I assume with nvidia driver. My graphics card is gtx 460, here's my usual glxgears output:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16474487/noerror.png
    After random amount of time (usually from 30 mins to ~2hours) something 'breaks' and here's what happens:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16474487/error.png
    I've tried different desktop environments, under xfce4 it also breaks, i've been testing also nvidia-beta and nvidia-all drivers, but it won't help. After 'breaking' i must restart nvidia module, then all again is working fine.

    Hey Vazz, there is a problem with the nvidia linux drivers/gtx460 hardware, but sadly it only affects a small population.
    There is a thread on the nvidia support forums with many others having more or less the same problems.
    Still no response from nvidia yet...  In the meantime use nouveau.

  • Problem with nvidia driver (bumblebee)

    I have problem with nvidia driver. It's not work with bumblebee. nouveau works, but nvidia not. My laptop: Clevo W110ER (i7 3612, GF GT650M).
    ----- optirun glxspheres -----
    - nouveau: works, but 3d is very slow (on Intel is better)
    - nvidia: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please ...
    Linux kernel: 3.4~ (latest from REPO).
    How to configure it? (On Ubuntu works, on Arch not).

    Your not the only one with nividia problems
    But on a more serious note, have you tried all configuration steps outlined in the Arch Wiki?

  • Problem with nvidia driver and GeForce 8800

    Hi,
    I installed nvidia driver with guide on arch wiki.
    But unluckily when i typed "startx", my monitor lost signal and i dont have any other option then restart computer.
    This is not for the first time when it happened. I have exactly same problem in every other distribution.
    I have GeForce 8800gts and LCD monitor Samsung SyncMaster 204b.
    And there isnt problem with hardware because in MS Windows or with VESA driver it works fine.
    Here is mine Xorg.conf
    http://www.blankpage.ic.cz/xorg.conf
    Please, have somebody any ideas how to make it works?

  • NVidia driver not working

    I can't seem to get my nVidia driver to work.  I'm using the 96xx since it's a Geforce 420 Go card and a stock kernel.  I can run X fine with vesa, but when I try to start X with nvidia, the screen just turns blank and does nothing, and I don't seem to get any errors (though I don't know if there is a log file for me to check).  I think I have the right HorizSync and VertRefresh and all, but I don't see what else the problem could be, since this is what other wikis/forums have led me to believe.  If anyone has any ideas, it would be great.  Here you can see my xorg.conf file also (it's practically the same I use with vesa, but with the changes recommended by the wiki):
    http://oak.cobaltpointe.com/~watson/xorg.conf
    Let me know what other information I can provide.  Thanks in advance.

    I tried it with the default nvidia package, and I got "No screen found" error.  Also, the Xorg log stated that I  needed the 96xx version since the card I have isn't supported anymore.
    I reverted to the 96xx again.  Here's my Xorg log and the newer xorg.conf (created by nvidia-xconfig) if they help to solve the problem:
    http://oak.cobaltpointe.com/~watson/Xorg.log
    http://oak.cobaltpointe.com/~watson/xorg.conf
    I guess I may just have to stick to vesa though...

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi,
    Any one have this issue?
    HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
    This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
    The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
    Appreciate any one can provide clue for resolving the problem.
    I have tried to install speedfan to try my luck, but it can't any fan in the application to configure. (Bios Version F50)

  • HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

    My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
    I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
    If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

    Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
    9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
    Waiting for index to be ready (101)
    Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
    Backup canceled.
    To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.

  • [SOLVED]X11 video output only with ati open source drivers

    Hi everyone,
    my nvidia graphics card died recently and I replaced it with an ATI Radeon HD 4870, which in hindsight might have been a mistake.
    I installed the catalyst driver at first, ran into some problems, finally decided to switch to the open source xf86-video-ati driver. Followed the ati wiki, but ended up with X11 video output only. Can't watch anything full screen, general performance is sluggish. The output of xvinfo is:

  • [SOLVED] Faulty video output with mpv/mplayer, vaapi

    Hi,
    I have a HD6870 with the proprietary catalyst drivers installed, and the packages needed to enable vaapi. The problem I have is that every video application like mpv, mplayer or whatever refuses to give me correct video output with vaapi. mpv for example gives me these errors, depending on filetype:

    mpv doesn't crash, it just falls back to software decoding and gives me a grey screen when it's not fullscreen, and when it's fullscreen it tears a lot and flashes random grey stripes everywhere - sound still works fine. Any ideas on what can be at fault here? The only video output that gives me an OK image without tearing or anything else is x11, but it's really slow.

    Now try vainfo again. Instead of "Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.8.0" it should say "AMD MMD 1.0" or something like that.
    Thanks, now VA-API at least gives me an output - but the video just flashes in fullscreen. I think another thing to notice here is that the video only plays correctly (gives me an output), if I play it on monitor 1 (I use three monitors) - but I can't get rid of the screen flashing.
    EDIT: Fullscreen only flashes when I use mpv, with smplayer (+mpv) it works ok - but it lags from time to time. mplayer-vaapi won't give me a smooth playback either with -vo and -va as vaapi, and the screen also flashes when I'm using it.
    Any idea on what's wrong? Is it my use of three monitors? This is really, really annoying.

  • [SOLVED] Fixing slow scrolling in firefox with nvidia and 64 bit

    I'm experiencing very slow scrolling with firefox on sites like
    http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/
    http://www.vai.com/News/index.html
    I'm running 64 bit with KDEmod. Scrolling is fine when I remove flash completely but on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) the abnove sites scroll fine on a different machine (with intel graphics). I read somewhere by modifying xorg with "AccelMethod" "EXA" to "XXA" scrolling becomes very smoth onm ATI and Intel. Here is my xorg.conf:

    is there something I can change to improve scrolling in firefox? I've tried to turnoff desktop effects and scrolling is the same annd also running firefox from a fresh profile. Hence, i suspect my nvidia 9800GT card to be the culprit. If anyone has a working xorg.conf with nvidia, 64 bit and smooth scrolling on the above mentioned sites please SHARE! Many Thanks!

    Sorry, I don't use KDE, but it may be related to how do you start KDE: from xinit or via KDM or sth.

    It's running the same driver as before.

    Did you uninstall it? Did you install the nouveau driver? 'pacman -Qqs xf86-video' will tell you what drivers you have installed.
    No, I don't have the nouveau driver installed. I have to check if I have the nv driver installed but I didn't uninstall the nvidia driver. I'm starting KDE via xinit.
