[SOLVED] Nvidia proprietary drivers

Hello,
I just got a new Asus laptop with nvidia optimus (intel hd 4000 + Nvidia GF 740M) and can't install the nvidia drivers successfully.
Currently is running on intel-dri with nouveau-dri installed too
I removed mesa-libgl since it is in conflict with nvidia-libgl
pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl
installed nvidia nvidia-libgl xf86-video-modesetting
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl xf86-video-modesetting
and rebooted.
After reboot I just get a black screen and after 30 seconds or so I get an error that something went wrong with a button to logout (using gnome).
What I'm doing wrong, or what else I have to do and I'm not doing?
I read about bumblebee. Is that a must for nvidia optimus?
I managed to crash arch for good so I I'll do a fresh reinstall, but I wish to know what exactly to do to make proprietary drivers work right away
Also tried the nvidia-full-beta from AUR and same effect
Thank you

made a fresh reinstall without messing other things around and now I get a black screen. I checked the logs and here it is the error

@vostok4: I blacklisted nouveau and also did a '-Rdd nouveau-dri' just in case
Edit: When I run 'lspci | grep VGA' I shouldn't have NVIDIA there too?

  • Configuring nvidia proprietary drivers in bumblebee

    I have arch linux 64bit and installed bumblebee and nvidia 302.17-1.
    How can I access settings of these drivers?
    I"m getting this error when I try it the usual way:
    #nvidia-settings
    You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
    (even after running nvidia-xconfig as root)

  • 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.

    Hi, because when i open PlayOnLinux i have this error:

    You might encounter problem with your games.
    I don't know how to install 32 bit nvidia drivers because i use x64 version of arch. How can i do it????

    Sorry to dig up old topics, but I'm having the same problem, which I shouldn't need multilib to solve. I have two Arch machines I'm running, both 32-bit architecture; one is my laptop, which has KDE and PoL installed, the other is a media box which has XBMC, ratpoison WM, and PoL installed. PoL was able to setup and launch on my KDE laptop no problem, but gives me the 32-bit OpenGL library error on the XBMC box. As far as I understand, multilib doesn't belong in use on a 32-bit machine, so can anyone help me address this issue on my XBMC box?
    Other potentially helpful info:
    XBMC box is running an NVIDIA graphics chip with proprietary drivers installed
    XBMC box is running AMD Athalon 64 processor
    Non-problematic KDE laptop runs Intel chipsets

  • 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.

  • Official 2009 Lenovo T61/T61p Nvidia Video Drivers: Please Consider One Last Update for the Road

    The title of this new thread says it all ..... 3 years since the last offical Lenovo T61/T61p Nvidia Video Driver Package release ..... a virtual lifetime in computer science years.
    I'm looking for advice on how to best lobby the technical folks at Lenovo (by phone or here on the Forums) for one last official Lenovo "Nvidia" video driver update for our T61 and T61p units.
    Lenovo's most current "ancient" 2009 Nvidia driver packages (found here),
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001342
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003876
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003605
    all leave quite a bit of 3D (and some 2D) performance laying out there on the table based on my own testing with current modern Nvidia reference drivers on a cloned test mule hard drive (and never once crashed with the newer Nvidia reference drivers under WinXP 32-bit or Win7 32 bit).
    Most all the major 3D gaming benchmarks were nearly doubled, and most importantly, my real world qualitative performance experience seemed even greater than the nearly doubled quantitative benchmark results.
    I'm wondering if starting this new thread would be of any benefit to encourage the good folks at Lenovo to consider one last update after 3+ years?
    Before I go to the trouble of posting my results, it is my hope that Lenovo could simply try the latest Nvidia reference drivers for themselves, tweak them (if even necessary) and then issue one last offical T61/T61p Nivida driver package update for the road .... hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of T61/T61p w/Nvidia GPU units are still in reliable daily service.
    http://www.geforce.com/drivers
    Something to please consider.
    Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

    Hi eecon
    It is considered fortunate that Lenovo provides newer driver for newer OS even after the system was phased out. From what I know, most of the OEM / manufacturers do not provide drivers for newer version of Windows when the product is phased out.
    Furthermore, graphic card vendors (e.g. NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, etc.) oftenly release new drivers and it is hard for manufacturers to catch up with them. Usually, the purpose of OEM providing new driver is to resolve existing issues. If you need performance, get newer drivers directly from vendors website.
    Have a nice day!

  • 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?

  • [SOLVED] NVIDIA question

    In rc.local, my code to config the video driver at launch of the LIVE CD is:
    Xorg -configure && cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Let's say I included NVIDIA proprietary driver, my question is what code would I have to put to recognize if there is a nvidia card installed in the computer.
    So if there's an NVIDIA card, it would do
    nvidia-xconfig
    and if not, it would do
    Xorg -configure && cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Thanks in advance for helping

  • [SOLVED] Rebuild catalyst drivers automatically if kernel updated?

    Hi
    I use the catalyst proprietary drivers, and I read on the catalyst wiki page that it is possible to automatically rebuild (?) the drivers if the kernel was updated, to prevent the drivers not working on reboot. However, the wiki makes absolutely no sense to me.
    I need help installing catalyst_daemon, because I think that catalyst_daemon is the daemon that checks if a rebuild needs to be done. However, simply entering:
    pacman -S catalyst-daemon
    does nothing, because it complains that catalyst and catalyst-daemon are in conflict.
    What do I need to install, and how do I need to configure it, so that fglrx or the catalyst drivers are automatically rebuilt so that I don't get a black screen upon rebooting.
    Thanks in advance
    Last edited by sheomualjy (2012-04-22 06:22:07)

    Oh, that sounds good. If I were to use catalyst-hook, would I simply install catalyst-hook? Do I need to add anything else?
    EDIT: I just noticed that catalyst-hook also conflicts with catalyst. I am assuming that is for the same reason as you just said, so I am assuming I would remove catalyst to make way for catalyst-hook

  • 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.
    Stenn

    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.

  • [SOLVED] AMD/ATI Drivers crashing on startx

    I ordered parts to build a new HTPC that just arrived today. I built it and got arch up and running without much trouble but I hit a snag when I started trying to get X up and running (isn't this always when things seems to go wrong? lol) The board has an AMD E350 with Radeon HD 6310 graphics and from things I've read around the web, I'm going to need proprietary drivers to get good smooth HD playback. I followed instructions on the ATI Catalyst page of the Arch Wiki and added
    [catalyst]
    Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch
    to my /etc/pacman.conf file then installed all the drivers through pacman. Now when I run startx i get

  • 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:

    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.

    Vista Ultimate 64-bit recognizes 8 cores. 32-bit recognizes one physical cpu.
    I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
    I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
    Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
    And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

  • 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.
