Xorg/nvidia problems

Hi
1.running archlinux for about 2 weeks, no problems, only some small ones solved with the wiki
2.new harddrive - ergo new installation
3.installation of the base system via ftp, the other parts too ( xorg, gnome, ... )
4.start of hwd -x -> cannot find xservers; ok on with xorg -configure
5.manual configuration of xorg.conf -> monitor/nvidia
Finally startx, abort because missing 'nvidia' and 'glx' -> no problem ;-), manual copy in the right path; X starts and aborts because of missing mouse device ( mouse/keyboard driver is installed; mouse at auto ) ...
Btw. my mouse is a Razor Copperhead, no problem so far with xorg 6.8.2.
Read some threads, but to no avail or iam to dump to get it ...
Ok iam frustrated - is this some kind of beta test?
Greetings Oliver

  • [SOLVED] xorg / nvidia problems after upgrade

    Hello,
    I have recently done an upgrade with pacman -Syu and am having problems.
    When X starts, it hangs at a blank screen. Keyboard is frozen and I am unable to hit another tty.  I can ssh in, but I cannot even seem to kill X, or reboot. I am forced to do a hard reboot.
    I have tracked the problem down to running multiple X sessions. I currently have 4 monitors, and have them configured such that I have 2 X sessions, (2 monitiors with twinview on each session).  I can get things working on 2 monitors using twinview, but I cannot get X to start properly if I enable the second X session. (I have tried everything and cannot get anything to come up unto a third monitor... I can only get X working on 2..)
    This seems like it could be a bug. Although I am not sure if the problem is with X or with the nvidia drivers, as both were updated, however I am thinking it is an issue with X.
    I have checked and rechecked my xorg log files, and there are no errors, however, once I did see this error, but it did not happen consistently..
    [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop
    Any suggestions?  I would like even be happy with downgrading some packages to get this working again.

    Update 2:
    Since downgrading xorg-server didn't help, I decided to try installing the latest and greated nvidia drivers. I grabbed them from their website, and uninstalled the nvida package from arch. (Version 190.53.1).  The drivers I am currently running are 195.36.15 and all is well.
    Instead of installing non-managed packages, why not use nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta from the AUR?

  • MacBook Pro A1229 Nvidia problem.

    Hi
    Recently, I bought a 2007 2.4 MacBook Pro. A few days ago, I put it to sleep and it did not turn on, it did but there was no output, just a black screen even on external display. There was also no startup chine.
    I looked and I'm sure it's the Nvidia problem, do I still have to pay or is it free?
    Thanks.

    You can try going to an Apple store or AASP, however, be prepared to pay. That replacement program only lasted 4 years from date of original purchase. Your computer is well beyond the cutoff date.

  • Xorg nvidia resolution problems with KDE

    I just installed Arch 2008.04-RC last night.  I configured xorg.conf using nvidia with the screen resolution set to "1440x900" which worked in both the X Windows and KDE 3.5.9. 
    I was trying to get xine working with Amarok.  At one point, I deleted ~/.xine and xinirtc to force itself to reset. I then rebooted at which point I noticed the resolution set only at "640x400" in KDE.  I checked the Display Settings and that was the maximum resolution I could choose.  I then switched to the vesa drivers which allowed a maximum resolution of "1024x768". 
    I removed xorg and nvidia and reinstalled.  I can no longer get a resolution of "1440x900" resolution for my Viewsonic VA1926v flat screen monitor.  I read on the xorg log that
    I am using the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT video graphics card.  uname -r:  2.6.25-ARCH
    From /var/log/Xorg.0.log I get the following information when I am using vesa:

    (**) VESA(0): Built-in mode "320x200"
    (==) VESA(0): DPI set to (96, 96)
    With nvidia, it just states that no mode is available for '1440x900' and selects virtual size of '640x400'.

    I am at a loss at trying to fix this one.  Something similar happened when I was running Gentoo on this same desktop back in April.  I also have the same low resolution problem when using Sabayon.
    Any help here would be much appreciated :-)

    I thought these frequencies were a bit low too.  My manual said there were the frequencies.  I checked online and it said the same.  I need to do more research on it.
    I did manage to get my 1440x900 resolution back using the open source nv drivers.  I had to do the same with Gentoo and Linux Mint in the past.  Everytime I used the nvidia drivers, my monitor returns to the 640x400 resolution and I noticed the only way to avoid it was to use nv.  I do not play games online or use Compiz so it does not bother me.
    Thanks.

  • [SOLVED] Xorg resolution problems GTS 250 Nvidia

    I have been using ubuntu for the last 3 days and i have no option to use anything but that because it is the only distro that accepts my t.v. resolution. i want to use arch as i have read alot about it but if i cannot get my resoution to work i cannot.
    I have tried to use my xorg,conf file from ubuntu but with no luck. I don't know where to turn so i thought i would try my luck here. I have a Nvidia GTS 250 Graphics card and a Hitachi 42pd5200 plasma tv.

    Going into nvidia-settings only displays 4:3 resolutions as options.
    I have widened the horiz and vert refresh rates and it gives me a broader spectum of resolutions but they are all still 4:3. i have now reverted back to the default xorg file (the one i have provided) the log is also for the same xorg.conf.
    I have also tried to add lines to the xorg.conf to ignore EDID as mentioned in the xorg wiki page
    Thank you to anyone that takes there time to try and help me

    I have a LCD with bad EDID and had to use the ignore EDID stuff from the wiki, too.  Then it wouldn't give me all the resolutions I wanted. After increasing the verbosity that nvidia logged in the xorg log, I saw that because it was not pulling resolutions from the EDID, it was falling back to some lists of modes that nvidia had and xorg had, but this was not sufficient for what I wanted. 
    Sorta like how your log says "No valid modes for "1360x768_60_0+0+0"; removing" - you may tell it to try to use that resolution, but it doesn't have the modeline to do it.
    So what I did was to give it the modelines I wanted and I think this will work for you too. Use an online modeline generator for you to get modelines to put into your xorg.conf.  So you need to give xorg a modeline named "1360x768_60_0" for it to use.

  • Nvidia problems: Xorg flickering and restarts

    Hi,
    after upgrading my laptop which has a nVidia Quadro FX1800 built-in (G94 / GT215GLM chipset I believe) I ran into problems over problems.
    The latest nvidia drivers no longer support my card, so I installed the nvidia-340xx series packages (core driver, -libgl, -utils, lib32 variants).
    After restarting I noticed the nvidia logo showing up 2 or 3 times, but then finally started up.
    Everytime the screen changes I got a lot of flickering (screen going black for fractions of a second) and after a few seconds I was back at the nvidia logo - the X session just restarted.
    My next attempt fixing this was going to linux-lts, which I installed together with nvidia-304xx-lts. After a reboot I thought that fixed the problem, but after half a minute I experienced the same bullsh** behaviour again.
    The issue is extremely bad, starting xterm and running dmesg immediately leads to a Xorg restart, nautilus lives for about a minute, firefox won't even start.
    The machine is absolutely unusable.
    The problem occurs with linux 3.17(.3) as well as 3.14(.25) lts.
    The X logs don't show any errors/problems, but dmesg reveals something's definitely broken here:

    lspci reveals that the PCI device at 0000:00:03.0 is the nvidia card.
    What can I do to fix the problem?
    Does anyone have experience with nouveau on a Quadro FX1800? What can I expect to work, what not and how's the performance?
    I'm so glad I got a Haswell with Intel graphics for my Desktop right now...
    I desperately hope anyone here can help me sort this out.

    At the very beginning I thought it's just 340xx issue (there are already some threads here on forum or this on devtalk: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … x-ubunt/2/) but it's really strange you have problems with 304xx - according to 304 Supported Devices your FX1800 should be handled fine.this Supported Devices section.
    After splitting to nvidia and nvidia-340xx I had to downgrade to nvidia-304xx - because of monitor detection issues I couldn't use version 340 (Quadro NVS 140M).
    Some solution is available here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1478277

  • Xorg, Nvidia and Monitor problem

    It all started when I saw a strange startup problem (lower resolution than my usual 1366X768) and some startup messages, on my system (Pcc tower plus a Sony Bravia 32' TV, that I use as a monitor. I started this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=105910 but soon realised my problem was elsewhere. Reviewing the xorg log I see that xorg is unable to read EDID from the monitor and falls to auto-selection of resolution resulting to a 1024X768 (further on DPI calculation is also affected). So, has anyone had the same problem or has any idea?
    I should mention that I use a VGA cable (there is a possibility that I messed things up when I tried an HDMI cable once or twice, not sure though, maybe the problem was already present, I can't remember), and that when running the nvidia settings manager, I do not get the desired 1366X768 option. The best option is the 1024X768. Needless to say that my TV is widescreen. Ideas please...

    Have you tried to extract the EDID info from the TV set manually ?
    Check out: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13706
    Then you could load them via Xorg command,
    nvidia proprietary drivers do have problems to get EDID data. nouveau drivers, for instance, is much better for this.
    I had a similar problem with my screen, have a look at : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … ly_display

  • Cant start Xorg (or problem in starting) in my new FSC Lifebook E8410

    Hello again
    once again i am presenting you a weird problem
    I have bought the new fujitsu siemens laptop: Lifebook E8410 with a Nvidia graphics card (128 MB) and an integrated webcam.
    When i attmept to start xorg; it gives me one of the following errors:
                *XIO error: NVIDIA driver not found. (although i already installed the driver using pacman -Sy nvidia)
                *Xorg starts succesfully, however, it just stays a blank screen
                *Xorg starts and closes in less than 5 seconds by itself/
    i have used Hwdetect (with abd without the -xa option), xorgconf, and nvidia-xconfig
    I have also tried to start nvidia-settings but it keeps trying to start something graphical and the following error appears:
    **GTK eroor: unable to start GTK
    i have tried two other disturbutions: OpenSUSE, and Knoppix. The graphics is perfect with both of them.i have also copied the xorg.conf file from knoppix which was running perfectly and pasted it, but still it is the same error 0_o
    can someone please help me with this?
    please tell me if you want any logs or files
    i am used and in love with ArchLinux, please help me run it.
    ps: i have full hardware details from openSUSE but i dont know where to upload it

    i have already done that, but the generated script would not work
    anyways, there is an update now, i have edited xorg.conf and set the driver for my nvidia card to be "vesa".
    ofcourse the graphics card does not work properly (nvidia-settings cant do anything here unless i am running xorg via the nvidia driver).
    now here is the part that is driving me crazy: i am running xorg perfectly (with KDE or GNOME) when i am root. but i cannot do it when i am in my own user although i have added my user to the video group :S
    i would like a way to run my graphics card perfectly and in my user not as root

  • Xorg Nvidia and blender

    Hi all, I'm having issues with my Nvidia 8400gs card on my up2date arch system. Im using Gnome 3.4 (fallback mode, ie not gnome-shell) and xorg-server 1.12.1-1
    Using Nouveau drivers everything works like a charm except blender, which crashes from time to time.
    I would love it if I could stick to nouveau! but from what I read its not recommended for intensive blender use
    so im trying nvidia's closed drivers
    but...
    Using the propietary nvidia driver (nvidia 295.49-1 and nvidia-beta 302.07-1) I can work flawlessly in blender, except that Blender freezes for a few seconds when closing it. Some times its a few seconds, and sometimes I have to reboot because it takes so long.
    After the "freezing" i see this in Xorg.0.log:
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): Error recovery failed.
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
    this happens with both LTS kernel (linux-3.0.31-1-lts) and  linux-3.3.5-1
    so, I've been trying the nvidia-275xxx driver but i see that not supported by Xorg anymore.
    Xorg.0.log
    ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================
    [ 18.504] This server has a video driver ABI version of 12.0 that this
    driver does not officially support. Please check
    [url]http://www.nvidia.com/[/url] for driver updates or downgrade to an X
    server with a supported driver ABI.
    =================================================================
    [ 18.504] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check.
    and then the nvidia driver fails to loadat all.
    I hope I dont have to downgrade X to make blender work!
    any directions??
    I paste here some more of Xorg.0.log with some comments on what triggered some parts.
    thanks in advance for any tips!!

    Thanks for that!
    OK, I've made some progress, or actually "regresions"
    I've found this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php?tid=136030 where the workaround is downgrading to nvidia-285.xx
    I had to try a couple of combinations and finally made nividia-285work,  sort of . The issue while closing blender seems to have gone, but I messed something with xorg or gnome since I'm getting an error in gdm login (i'm trying to find out the error) and the all windows decorations are gone. And had a complete crash once (reset button only option)
    will keep on searching...
    update:
    this combination seems to work!
    nvidia 285.05.09-3
    linux 3.1.9-2
    xorg-server 1.10.4-1
    xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0-3

  • [SOLVED] Getting Xorg + nVidia, on a new install, working

    Hi there,
    Lately, I've been trying something new: running with a modern GPU. *gasp!* ...but I've been running into some trouble. I'm hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
    The situation:
    I recently put Arch on a new machine of mine. It has an nVidia card (a 560 Ti) on a Gigabyte mobo and I'm trying to get X running on it.
    Whenever I try starting X (be it with Startx or GDM), it complains it can't find a screen. It wasn't detecting the nvidia driver on it's own so I tried a minimal xorg.conf to help things along. It's not complaining about not finding drivers anymore (which is a plus), but X is still, as mentioned, failing to start.
    I understand that nvidia-xconfig is supposed to be an out dated tool, so I've avoided using it so far. Nvidia-settings takes an X environment to work, so I can't use that either. I thought that might mean I need to get X working before I can try configuring it, so I tried getting X working with one of the generic drivers via the mobo's integrated card, but vesa just freezes the server on me and the Intel driver's dependencies conflict with nvidia.
    None of the logs seemed toto give any clues. They are pretty much the same as the stdout for Xorg, lol. I'll try posting logs as needed...all logs will be at the end of this post.
    The wiki touches on the install a bit, but than goes into tweeking and other tips for a working setup. It may be that I just don't know which key phrases I should be googling, but searches aren't turning up much more.
    Suggestions?

For starters we need /var/log/Xorg.0.log after X failed to start and the output of dmesg. For dmesg you can do a simple redirection "dmesg > file.txt".
    Well, woops! I was way too damn tired by the time I said that. Good thing I stop working on my machine when I did, who knows what I would've broken! ...lol. My logs have been included in the end of my orriginal post.

    There is already a thread on broken GUI after the libdrm/nouveau upgrade :
    see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112758
    A bug report was opened in the Flyspay about that (#22700).
    Downgrading the packages listed in the thread above solves temporarily the problem.
    Please can you precise the Nvidia chipset you use ?
    Thanks.

  • NVIDIA problem in OEL 6

    Hi,
    I installed OEL 6 and everything is fine. I installed NVIDIA GPU drivers and rebooted the machine. After loading the OS (the bottom progress bar becomes white) the system stays there. No login screen. Anyone can help?
    Thanx guyz
    Edited by: 860283 on May 19, 2011 11:59 PM

    Well, I used the init 3 method to kill the X server. From terminal, with su privileges I rant he NVIDIA drivers install and that's it.
    My problem is solved but I am not sure how I did it.
    I didn't let the NVIDIA installer to generate the xorg.conf file during the installation. I noticed that there was no such file in /etc/X11 directory. I logged-in in "rescue mode" (the second option under normal kernel) from GRUB menu and ran the NVIDIA xconfig. I rebooted and everything is fine now.
    As I mentioned I am not sure what was the workaround as I am kind of newbie in linux.
    If someone understood something from the above please let me know.
    Thanx again guyz.

  • Weird nVidia problem (only at 1024x768)

    Hello there,
    i have a small problem with my nVidia GFX and playing games, in every game the 1024x768 resolution in somewhat garbled... This happens only at 1024x768, when i try lower (down to 640x480) oder higher (up to 1600x1200) settings, everything is ok...
    So, whats now my problem? Since i am not as good in english, its hard to describe for me. It seems that only every second line is drawed at 1024x768, and this happens to every game i try...
    Well, pictures say more than words...
    This is what it looks like at 1024x768:
    And this is what i should get normally:
    This is the first time i experience this, and i just don`t know how to handle it. And as 1024x768 ist just the perfect res for my aging machine to play games (higher = slower) i ask you here....
    Some specs of my hardware/drivers:
    AMD AthlonXP 1600+
    VIA KT133a
    nVidia GeForce FX 5200 LE
    Drivers are the 1.0.8178-16's from the repos and kernel
    is also from the repos, kernel26 2.6.16.9-1... Xorg is 7.0...
    So, how can i deal with this, or, has anyone experienced this too?
    Greetings
    Funkyou

    You need to add modelines to your xorg.conf file. An easy way to do such a thing is to backup your xorg.conf file first. Then, pacman -S hwd
    Then, type hwd -xa
    It will create a xorg.conf file for you. Edit it as needed and then look for a line in the modelines section that has Interlaced in it. Comment out that line or remove it to fix your issue.

  • Video playback freezes Xorg nvidia-340xx (340.46-4)

    Hi all,
    I recently updated by MacBook Pro (4,1) to the new legacy nvidia drivers because 343 doesn't support the integrated 8600M. I'm currently running 3.17.1-1, but I also had the problem on 3.16.4-1.
    When I'm watching video in VLC X will freeze. The mouse pointer still works, but I can't click on anything, and everything besides the cursor stops updating. The only solution is to switch to tty and restart the login manager (slim, in my case). If you switch to tty and then back to X, the screen is black except for the cursor.
    I'm running Enlightenment without compiz, using opengl as the render engine.
    dmesg doesn't have anything from the kernel or the module about errors, oops, crashes, whatever. /var/log/Xorg.0.log also has nothing to indicate that something is happening.
    I've tried to follow the instructions on NVidia's website to generate verbose VDPAU logs, but it would appear that doesn't work with VLC. I installed mplayer to try and get it to crash, but when I specify vdpau as the video output module there is no video displayed, so I'm guessing NVidia's instructions (which date from 2012) are outdated and no longer apply. Interestingly watching videos in Chrome (mp4 or webm) doesn't seem to crash X.
    Anyone else having issues with video playback on the new 340xx drivers? This is really, really annoying, and I'm going to have to downgrade or switch to nouveau if the situation doesn't improve. Having X hard lock on me while watching video is not something I can live with.

    The problem appears to be a memory leak in the NVidia driver. nvidia-settings shows that 99% of dedicated VRAM is used (254 of 256MB) while only running a few 2D applications. Disabling opengl rendering in enlightenment helps somewhat (83% VRAM used) but it's still a major regression from previous driver versions (<340.46) where the average used VRAM was ~40% while running productivity applications.
    Has anyone else had issues with older GPUs an VRAM management on the 340.46 release?

  • Xorg + Nvidia 9500M GS + Lock up?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to do a clean install on my laptop of Arch (for the second time) now my problem is that my system locks up as soon as I hit startx for the test.
    X starts (I can also see the Nvidia logo) I have the default xterm windows arranged, but my mouse and my keyboard are not responsive (keyboard keys seem to respond, as I am able to open the bluetooth button etc) inside X.
    I have to hard restart the system, additionally my Xorg log has no errors (nor any other system logfile), I have tried numerous versions of my config, disabling and enabling everything but the behavior remains the same...

    Hi pestilence,
    did you try to disable evdev? You can do so by adding AutoAddDevices "False" to the ServerFlags-Section.
    See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … server_1.5 for further information.
    If you want to use evdev: Did you install hal and add it to the DAEMONS-line in /etc/rc.conf?
