I started a thread a while ago about looking for an accelerated video |
| 2 |
card. I went and got an ASUS EN210 Silent PCIe card and followed the |
| 3 |
instructions at the Gentoo Nouveau wiki. I have not been able to get X |
| 4 |
running yet. Trying to launch X with startx blanks the screen, and I |
| 5 |
can't get it back. Note that the machine does *NOT* lock up, rather the |
| 6 |
video gets disabled until I reboot. I can ssh into the machine. It |
| 7 |
appears to be working fine. If I... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
* start a root text console in TTY8 |
| 10 |
* switch to TTY9 |
| 11 |
* startx |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The screen goes blank and I can't get graphics or GUI, no matter what |
| 14 |
I do. I can ssh in from another machine and things look OK. As a |
| 15 |
matter of fact, I can {CTRL-ALT-F8} and blindly issue the command |
| 16 |
"reboot" or "halt -p", and it gets executed. The attached Xorg.log file |
| 17 |
shows nothing wrong. "Xorg -configure" does generate an xorg.conf.new |
| 18 |
file, but screams about... |
| 19 |

The Gentoo Nouveau wiki says that message comes either from disabling |
| 28 |
DRI (which I didn't do) or from the wrong opengl. I only have the xorg |
| 29 |
version. Any ideas? Do the proprietary Nvidia drivers work with kernel |
| 30 |
3.2.12? I'm running with mdev instead of udev. Would that make a |
| 31 |
difference? |
