Trouble with latest NVIDIA driver

Hi!
I just bought an NVIDIA card (9600GT) to replace my AMD Radeon HD 3650.
I installed the latest NVIDIA driver (180.22-1), and X now fails to start:

I've tried reinstalling xorg-server, libdrm nvidia, nvidia-utils and so on, but nothing helps.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I had the same problem My solution was ... After reinstalling every thing 3 times with no good results I decided to try one more time on a 64 bit version of it and it worked perfectly so I decided to try different distributions with 386 486 and 686 all the same problem.. it seems only the 64 bit distributions work well with the newest Nvidia cards.... Can't find a reason and Nvidia has not answer me yet....
Sorry but if you want your card working on Linux you will need to upgrade to 64 bit it seems.
also there is no Wine HQ for 64 bit under Arch other distros have but if you want it under Arch you will have to build it your self.
OK if some else knows better Please Please Let me Know the secret ... I tried 10 distros and 60 installations later I had these results, maybe I'm doing it all wrong.
PS:
I do a lot of beta testings Just for fun. Testing Jaunty and Windows 7 at this time and 7 is pretty but it stills Sucks Majorly Just as much as Vista does.
Jaunty Has no drivers for Nvidia and is no way to Install it manually with the idiot user proof thing that they got I'll be going back to Arch today and give it a rest to my frustrations For a While....

HDMI sound disapears with latest nVidia driver

Hey! I'm on a dv9266ea and when using Windows Update and installing the latest nVidia Driver (released in December, 2008, driverid=20233116) I no longer get any sound on the TV through the HDMI-cable when I'm watching movies, showing presentations or whatever. And yes, I do change to hd-audio. ^^
Only way to get it to work is to downgrade to the really old 7.15.10.9815 driver from February 27, 2007 and I really think I could get so much more out of my computer if there were a way to be able to use the latest driver without loosing the sound when running though HDMI-cable on the TV.
Anyone have any ideas?

Nope, it still don't work. Graphics got better than ever and I could run games better again but as soon as I plugged in the HDMI-cable, changed sound to SPDIF and started the TV it became the same as after December 2008 nVidia-driver: No sound what so ever.
It's especially annoying since this laptop has been really faulty all the way from the start. Been sent to repairs 2 times already and gotten new motherboards. Last time they had it for reparis they 'killed' all Quick Launch buttons and refused to take it back for a 3rd repai, claiming it were me and not them (even though I called the same day I got it back) who broken it and they just said warranty were out.
Anyways, I've tried the Dec 2008 graphics-driver as well as the April 2009 one provided in the reply above and they don't work. Everything get's better but sound output when in using HDMI disapears and only seem to work with the really outdated February 2007 driver.
I also tried updating the sound with the Conexant HD Audio Driver from May 2008 as provided above too, but that didn't work either.
There gotta be other who has the same problem. I just re-set the laptop to original state the other week so it's almost completely HP's own settings. It seems wrong I have to choose from either be able to use the laptop only for work with presentations and movies OR for private use such as games...

(Workaround-ed) Xorg crashes on logout with latest nVidia driver

I can enter a DE through the login just fine after a clean startup or a reboot. It's just that after I logout using Ctrl Alt Backspace, it just keeps crashing and won't bring me to the login screen again.
Here's my xorg.conf:

Latest Nvidia Driver for G560 does not install!

Hi,
i've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my G560. But it seems like the only driver working on this system is the preinstalled driver from Lenovo.
I always get the message that the driver can't find the required hardware. I've downloaded the correct (Win 7 64 Bit) and latest driver from Nvidias webpage. I've even tried some older drivers from the drivers archive.
Does anybody have a clue how I can solve my problem?
Greetings Cpk83
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It does look like the correct driver. But I noticed this "Note: The following notebooks are not supported in this release: 1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power with Intel chipsets. 2. Fujitsu notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) notebooks are supported in this release. 3. Sony VAIO notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Sony VAIO Windows 7 users can click here for driver update support. 4. Any notebook that is launched after the release date of this driver. " Does anyone know if this laptop has Hybrid Power? Also here is a good tip/recommended from ATI. "Advisory: The display driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer is customized for the built-in flat panel display, and the graphics features and functions specific to the laptop. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied drivers.

I installed Windows 8.1 bootcamp but I'm having problems with the nvidia driver

Windows 8.1 is boot camped and it works perfectly, Almost. Ill find myself scrolling, usually with the trackpad, sometimes with a mouse, and the screen will go black, flicker, and resume. It will also stop the driver in games when i press keys too quickly. It seems to be an input problem but i don't see how the keyboard and trackpad affect the video driver. I get an error message that says "NVIDIA driver has temporarily stopped but has recovered." I have installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA Website as well as all windows 8.1 updates. Sometimes its bad enough that the computer reboots completely. Its getting frustrating as i can't complete tasks or enjoy recreational time. Has anyone had this issue and been able to fix it?
NVIDIA driver fails but recovers(or Reboots computer) when
     When i scroll through webpages using the trackpad or mouse, usually when i scroll quickly
     or input keystrokes quickly while running programs, usually games

Is the current nVidia driver the one that came with Bootcamp?

Black screen with proprietary NVIDIA driver

I'm having a tremendous amount of troubles getting Xorg to work on my Thinkpad W530 with the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
The W530 has the Optimus technology but I've disabled it in the BIOS so only the NVIDIA card is active. I've been using nouveau up until now but I can't keep it due to its outdated OpenGL support.
So per the wiki I installed `nvidia` and removed nouveau. But since then I run `startx` the screen goes completely black. But the X server keeps running and my WM starts fine. I can open a terminal blindly with a hotkey and reboot the machine.
I've tried the following suggetions without any success:
Booting with `rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1` as a kernel parameter
Booting with `nomodeset` as a kernel parameter
Adding
install i915 /usr/bin/false
install intel_agp /usr/bin/false
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Manually adding the graphic cards bus ID in xorg.conf
Adding
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
to my .xinitrc
Adding
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource Intel NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
to my .xinitrc
Further suggestions and ideas are highly appreciated – I really need to get the nvidia driver to work one way or another!

I just added https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/repo-ck, and installed linux-ck-ivybridge and nvidia-ck-ivybridge, then recreated grub.cfg and now it works. Got the hint from this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1466438

LATEST NVIDIA DRIVER OR MSI OLDER DRIVER

I'm currently using MSI 311.06 driver but NVIDIA has already released version 320.18.
Should I update to NVIDIA driver and why?

newest drivers include fixes and peformance optimizations
so try latest one, go back to msi one only if you have issues with nvidia one

Trouble with two hard drives including SMART failure

About a week ago my mac mini g4 that I've had for less than 3 years, crashed while I was using itunes and playing music off an external usb drive.
As a result there has been trouble with both drives:
*Internal hard drive failure:*
The internal drive would not boot and reported a fatal hardware error, with a SMART failure. Interestingly, when I start up the computer as a firewire target and run the same Disk Utility program, it does not report the fatal error. I was able to reformat this drive and it seems to now be booting and running fine.
*External hard drive failure*
The external hard drive worked intermittently and then died completely a few days later, where it is now unable to mount it at all.
Does this mean I have two failed hard drives? The internal one seems to work fine and has for over a week, even though it still says there was a S.M.A.R.T. failure. When Disk Utility says there was a hardware failure, it prevents me from running the verify/repair functions. Is it possible that the external drive failure was somehow attributed to the internal drive?
I think it is also strange that when I run the Disk Utility using firewire target, the internal hard drive tests fine.
The message I get is:
"This drive reported a fatal hardware error to disk utility. If the drive has not failed completely, back up as much data as you can and then replace it with a working drive."
and at the bottom it says:
"S.M.A.R.T. status: failing"
Meanwhile it works just fine and my other external drive has failed altogether.
I normally wouldn't question this error message, but the fact that the other drive failed more completely at around the same time, and that the error message doesn't show up when I run the disk utility on the internal drive via firewire makes me wonder if there are other factors. It's also just frustrating that I may need to replace both.
Other things I have done is run the Apple Hardware Test, and everything passed. I also tried a PMU reset, and that didn't help.
Should I just replace the internal hard drive or should I look for other problems?
I appreciate any advice on this.

I'm not aware of any firmware update for the PPC minis - I've not had any with either of my own that I recall.
Of course future reliability is something you can never really check or fully assess, but the fact the system passes the hardware test tells us that the components which could have been responsible and which are not fairly easy to replace (the logic board, disk controller, PMU are all healthy. RAM could be a problem because the hardware test is not all that capable at revealing RAM issues, but it is also not likely to be the cause of this kind of problem. The PSU is obviously suspect to some degree, but is also replaceable.
While it's not common to suffer multiple drive failures, the fact one was active and the other could easily have been paging would account for the result if either failed in that situation. Bad luck and not easy to reproduce if you tried, but not inconceivable.
The fact that the internal rendered up your files while in FW target disk mode tends to indicate that the reason it wouldn't boot from that drive was not that the drive itself was trashed, but that the drive crashed during use - a circumstance which often creates catalog and file problems, and can certainly cause the system to fail in locating the MacOS install to boot from. In that situation, unless there is physical damage to the drive, it typically can be re-used with a reformat and reinstall, since of course that corrects the kind of catalog/file issues that this sort of crash typically causes. It would be expected to report 'verified' for SMART status though.
There are a few reasons why a damaged external might not appear in Disk Utility, or refuse to mount, some of which are broad;ly similar - a crash causing file or catalog issues. The fact it was FAT32 would complicate the matter to a small degree since if the allocation tables weren't visible to the Mac due to corruption, the system wouldn't have any way to mount the drive. That said, while it would likely be visible to a PC, and may even render up files in data recovery, it wouldn't be reusable itself without a reformat, and could well produce I/O errors in the process. It would usually be amenable to reformatting though it might also need repartitioning depending on the damage done. The overheating you mention may be an indicator of a fault, or it may be that the drive is being pushed to all 3 read attempts with each data block - that would cause it to work very hard! If you have rescue the data you think you can get off it, I'd suggest you try a reformat. If that fails, use a utility such as FDISK to delete all the partitions and recreate them, then try formatting again.
In terms of iTunes, any version will work, including 7.6. If music is stored on the external and that is USB connected, that would count for some speed impediment since iTunes is fairly cpu intensive, and the USB bus is also highly variable in performance, depending on CPU activity. But no, there is nothing in the latest version of iTunes that would cause a PPC to suffer such performance problems in itself, so you can use that quite safely. All are very cautious about this aspect of software design, since updates are often released to deal with stability or security issues, and must be usable for everyone.

Bridge CS4 crashes with last Nvidia driver (195.62)

Sorry for my bad english...
This message because since november I have crashes with Blue Screnn of the Death when I used Bridge CS4, even when no other programs running on my PC.
Or my computer became veru slow when I open Bridge...
Or Error messages saying that Bridge must close because not enough memory (I have 3gO RAM and 512 on my graphic card Nvidia 9500, and not at all used when I have the message....)
I tried many and many things (uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, change preferences of Photoshop, Bridge, change memory in Windows...) and Bridge always crashes after some minutes of use.
I searched in many forums, and saw many people have the same problem, but nobody have the solution.
Yesterday, in the "Event viewer", in "system", I had the message : "the driver nv_disp of the peripherical display \Device\Video0 remained blocked in an infinite curl. It points out a problem with the material or with the driver of the material programming the equipment in the wrong manner"
So I went to a problem with the graphic card.
I found the solution on a forum about Nvidia : "...the problem is that after driver 195.62, sometimes Blue Screen of the Death happens. This crashes happens everytime I close Adobe Bridge, and also in some other occasions too. With the old driver (190.38), dosn't BSOD. Will be great if NVIDIA told it at 195.62 releases, and fix it if possible..."
In fact, I uploaded my GeForce 9500 driver version 6.14.11.7519 to 6.14.11.9562 in november...
I come back to my old driver and have no more problem with Bridge CS4...

Well I have a 9600GT and at the moment I have the v191.07 installed but on checking the Nvidia site today I saw this
This is a WHQL-certified driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs.
New in Version 197.45
Recommended for the best performance with the new GPU-accelerated features in Adobe CS5
RESULT...
Well have tried it and it seems to cure the problem. Opened Bridge and Photoshop CS5 several times, went through hundreds of photo albums, trying to make Bridge crash but it just wouldn't... So for now I'd have to say it works great.

How do I check I have the latest Nvidia driver?

Ok - this question stems from an issue myself and a few other intel mac owners are having with photoshop CS3. After talking at length to an adobe tech support guy, he said that the issues could well be to do with needing to update the driver for my Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT graphics card.
After quite a bit of searching on Nvidia's site and apple's site I discovered that the drivers seem to be updated along with the apple software updates... as I'm fully up-to-date with those, I can only assume my graphics card driver is up-to-date too? How can I check this for sure and if we've discovered an issue between PS CS3 and the card how is best to report this?
here is the forum where we are discussing it: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.3bc3c251/118

Thanks for the link George - according to that my CS3 web premium should be fully compatible with only one update to acrobat needed - cool
Yep - rang apple today and they confirmed that I could partition my HD - I also have an exact copy of my Tiger setup on an external HD as backup so have purchased a copy of Leopard to get testing! ooooo excited! (ahem - but not being silly of course - lol)
aha - you use PS CS3 on leopard with no problems! very interesting - what mac do you have it on as I would be interested if it has similar spec to mine. Also there is an example of the issues I'm experiencing with my current set up at this link all done in a way that should have produced smooth lines:
http://www.lordart.co.uk/filedump/PSCS3example1.png
if you could test and see if you get bad line quality, kinked curves, or brushstroke lagging behind the cursor that would be great to know thanks!
P.S. thanks to Kappy also as you've helped me work out the situation with the Nvidia drivers - you can only get updates included with apple software updates.

Macbook pro, trouble with external hard drives

I just got the drive on my mid-2010's macbook pro replaced at Apple. I am now experiencing a new problem.
My macbook is having trouble with ALL my external hard-drives. After a few minutes of being plugged in I click on them to open and the finder window is blank. Its not allowing me to veiw the content stored on the drive. If I keep trying my computer will freeze. I try to 'Force Eject' the drive and it doesnt eject so I have to unplug then start over.
This seems to happen roughly about 5 minutes after I plug them in. They work fine the first 5 minutes. Its becoming extremly annoying. All my drives are different makes, sizes, etc.. so I pretty sure its the macbook.
What might the problem be?
Thanks,
Shane

Very slow (almost none) 3D Acceleration with current Nvidia driver

Hi,
I'm having a problem on my Vostro 1400 with Nvidia M8400GS graphics card. The thing is that I don't have 3D acceleration to run compiz or 3D games (Urban Terror). Well, I can run GLXgears and start up Urban Terror, but the performance in UT is very slow (unplayable) even in the main menu - the sound is laggin etc). Even if I run Xcompmgr, the performance is very bad. I have had this issue almost a year now under Arch and I haven't found any solution to this problem.
Currently I'm running Nvidia driver from the extra repo version 169.12-4.
I also have enabled nvidia-xconfig --composite option to my xorg.conf file.
Here is my xorg.conf file:

@ OP
You might wanna try tuning your xorg setup a bit as is described on the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … Fxorg.conf , and just under the section on xorg there is a bit of more info on the nvidia or ati specific stuff.
Is there a reason you are not specifying the default depth portion?
eg:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Or the modes portion?
eg:
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
There's also more detailed info on the wiki about xorg http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg and nividia http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA
Although, some of those nvidia specific options can lower your fps, I tried some of them and then removed them as they killed my opengl performance in 3d games, only "Option" I added and kept was the NoLogo one.
Hope something there helps, always has for me

Y510p and problem with Update Nvidia Driver

Hi everyonei have problem with updating my y510p lenovo laptop nvidia driver ,my current nvidia driver version is 327.62 which i download from lenovo website,Now for better performance in new games like gta v and witcher3 ,i decide to updating nvidia driver,first remove my nvidia graphic driver from add or remove then download nvidia ver 350 from nvidia official web site , which nvidia website confirm it support my graphic card which is Gt755m , then i install new ver and during install i check clean install , after successful install , restart laptop , then there was problem . when i try to open nvidia control panel it wont running and an error showed up and said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" .i try to open a game , game running in really low fps and i find out game run on hd graphic of my laptop and my nvidia graphic wont run .The only way to repair was i install my last nvidia driver 327.62 and run a system restore .guys what is your suggestion and how i can update my y510p nvidia driver ?Thanks

Hi Y510Man,
     The video graphics installation order is important. You need to install the Intel Graphics first, and then do the Nvidia. IIRC you should un-install the Nvidia driver, then re-install (or upgrade) the Intel HD Graphics driver. Reboot, and install the new Nvidia driver.
     I don't know why, but every time I upgraded my Y470 Nvidia driver, I had to use this procedure. First install, or re-install, the Intel driver, then install the Nvidia. You can't just upgrade the Nvidia driver without a re-install of the Intel. I think it has to do with the Optimus setting, and the automatic switching.
    Let us know how it goes.

Troubles with graphic card driver at Equium A60

Hello everybody,
At first sorry for my bad English.
I have some trouble with the driver of my graphic card. After a new installation I just wanted to install the driver of the ATI Radeon 7000 (I have an Equium A60), after this I had to ascertain that my pc was out of order. The trouble was because the driver, I'm sure, because after a new installation, without the VGA-drive, my notebook is working, somehow.... I mean, I'm sure it could work better if the graphic would have an own driver.
I have been searching on the web and I did see that this was not a new problem; many people have the same trouble with it. Somehow, the pc's own driver is not compatible.
Could anyone help me to find a solution for my problem?
Thanks a lot,
Eurytheus

Sorry my friend but your posting sounds really unbelievable. Original Toshiba driver is not compatible with the hardware. It can not be. It can not be the truth!
Your notebook model is almost 4 years old and I presume Toshiba have had enough time to react if display driver is somehow problematic. I recommend you to back up all your data and try to install your notebook using original recovery image. If there is no hardware problem notebook should work well again.
Sorry but I do not see any other solution there because the driver is definitely tested and it must work well.
