| Post subject: | failsafe xorg.conf file? |
I build a new system tonight and I've spend the past 5 hours trying to get the stupid Nvidia drivers for the Geforce 7950GT I bought to work. The only way I can get x started is if I load it as a frontend system from the cd with the 'failsafe' option. Does anyone have a copy of the failsafe xorg.conf so I can at least the the gui up when installed as a combo front/backend system? Has anyone had experience with this card? I tried installing the latest version of the nvidia drivers (including kernel recompile) but all I got then was a flicker of an nvidia logo and blackness. |

It could be your modelines are incorrect. Can you access your box through ssh? If you can, have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what X is doing. Bruce S. |

Thanks for the response Bruce. I got a good nights sleep and started over. This is how I got it to work: Install fresh on the hard drive, default settings On Reboot I got a completely black screen that I couldn't CTRL-ATL-F2, or CTRL-ATL-BKSPC out of I then followed a combination of the instructions at http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=BlackScreenAfterInstall On reboot, I held down the left shift key after POST and typed Code: linux init=/bin/sh I was already logged in and everything seemed to be mounted so I then typed Code: install-nvidia-debian.sh 1.0-8776 -force
and on rebooted everything worked! Did a happy dance and then proceeded to debug my audio problems. |
