Hi again, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
For those mot up to date. I built a new rig that has a Nvidia GT220 |
| 4 |
card in it. I bought a brand new monitor this morning, a LG W2253, and |
| 5 |
it worked one time. I had to reboot to move some things around and when |
| 6 |
I rebooted, the GUI doesn't come up. The BIOS screen shows up and I can |
| 7 |
see the services start up as well but when it switches to vt7, it just |
| 8 |
has a little blinking cursor at the top. |

This is a grep of the log: |

I have tried X -configure, Xorg -configure and nvidia-xconfig and none |
| 29 |
of them do any better. I also did a emerge -e all the way up to |
| 30 |
nvidia-driver as well then reconfiged everything. Still no joy. I'm |
| 31 |
not going to mention all the reinstalls of the nvidia drivers and |
| 32 |
different versions I tried. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I attached my xorg.conf file too. I can send the whole xorg.log file if |
| 35 |
needed. Oh, I always get the dri load error. I also used eselect to |
| 36 |
switch to nvidia's opengl to, many times. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Could it be something weird with the card maybe? This is monitor two |
| 39 |
that has issues with it. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I have a ATI card handy. If someone knows of a idiot proof guide I |
| 42 |
could follow. You know, one that you used and are confident it will |
| 43 |
work if followed. I don't have much hair left right now. :-( |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Just for fun, I got a Mandriva install CD and booted it up and even |
| 46 |
installed it on a spare drive. After the install, it boots just like |
| 47 |
Gentoo does. I can see the BIOS, the services and such but when it |
| 48 |
switches to vt7, just a blinking cursor. |
| 49 |

This new rig is turning into a nightmare. No wonder I waited almost 8 |
| 51 |
years. lol |
| 52 |

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions, other than jumping in the creek. |
