| Post subject: | NVIDIA FX5200 TV-Out crash with 96xx drivers |
Recently installed r6 stable on an old PC using an AGP FX5200 card. I am using the tvout on the card and everytime that I restart the X server using killall X or ctrl-alt-backspace the system would try to reload the server and then panic or something. The log files did not show anything, and i was unable to use the magic sysrq keys after enabling them. After messing around i figured it to be worth a shot to install the latest legacy drivers. after installing make, and running the 173.14.22 drivers installer from NVIDIA (maybe i'll make a pkgbuild) the display now works fine after reloading the X server. Thought I would post this incase anyone else needed help with this! Mike |

Could you elaborate on how you installed make and how you got and ran the 173 drivers installer? Thanks. |

make is from the repo as root or other user with access run: pacman -Sy make then I downloaded the 173 drivers from nvidia's site. Stop X and xinit, and unload nvidia drivers as root run: sv stop frontend sv stop xinit killall X then run the nvidia installer sh (path to the installers .run file) It should run the rest automatically. Do not let it run nvidia-xconfig as it will make a new file, your old one should work. Finally, reboot. This should work as described. I am looking into creating a package with the 173 drivers, as this would be much more graceful. Merry Christmas all! |

That's weird. I'm using an nVidia 5200FX out of the box with no problem. I have TVout running in TwinView mode (Cloned) so I can see my desktop (set for 800x600) at the same time I watch on my projector. I'll have to check my driver settings to see what it's using. lspci says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) dmesg says: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. nvidia 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 nvidia 0000:01:00.0: putting AGP V3 device into 8x mode |
