| Post subject: | White Screen |
Hello, I orginally fell victim to ZaptoIt labs and was forced to find a new source for TV listings. Thiis led me into upgrading Knoppmyth. Which led me into reinstalling Knoppmyth. I have been using Knoppmyth for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. My current problem is after the install completes and the system reboots I get a partially white screen and nothing else. After a few moments the screen goes blank and then comes back white. There is an error: "Id “c7″ respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes". It also appears as though onboard NIC is not being activated. The system seems to lock up and I am unable to log onto another console. This is the exact same system that has been working for a long time now. Any suggestiions are appreciated. I have no clue where to go with this. The hardware specs are listed below. Hardware: Shuttle PC SN85G4 FN85 mainboard NFORCE3 chipset AMD ATHLON 64 2800+ SEAGATE 250GB SATA 512 MB ram LITEON DVD/RW HAUPPAUGE WinTV PVR 350 AOPEN MX4000 video card |

Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. |

I am not sure I that I see anything wrong in xorg.conf, but I'm not sure I know what to look for. Do you mind if I post the file? |

No. Is the nvidia module loaded? Code: lsmod | grep nvidia

That's part of what Cecil was driving at with his request for diagnostic information. Having to force the driver install is not all that uncommon. |

Hi, Did I miss something, what versionof KM? Very important tid-bit of information. Did you select tv out during the install? HAUPPAUGE WinTV PVR 350 There are a few needed tricks to get tv out, so I always get things working with a monitor first. Then when all is setup and running like a well oiled machine, start with the 350 out settings (preserving a copy of the working xorg.conf) as a fall back. Just to get xserver to run, if the xorg.conf Driver is "vesa" then it should work so you can do setups and tweaks. Note that not all features will work running the vesa driver. Once you are ready to advance then you will need to determine the proper driver for your card. I suspect the nvidia should work with MX4000. You may want to check some of the entries in the various tiers to see if others may have had issues and glean knowledge from their travels. Mike |

I found the problem. xorg.conf was configured for 3 mice. PS/2, USB and serial. I edited the file for the correct interface and now I'm back in business. |
