ahh good question. yes, i'm using 2.4.16. I installed the GLX libraries, and kernel modules using their tar files, not with rpms. On Thu, Mar 07, 2002 at 07:41:16PM -0500, Charles R.

Did you recompile the NVIDIA_kernel package for your own kernel? On Thu, Mar 07, 2002 at 07:31:09PM -0500, Brad Noyes wrote: maitre> Thanks for the idea. I think that my monitor settings are okay.

Thanks for the idea. I think that my monitor settings are okay. I should have mentioned this before, but X starts fine with the 'nv' driver loaded, but when i try to start X with the 'nvidia' driver loaded i get nothing.

Re: [Wlug] nvidia with X

You might be driving your screen incorrectly. If you have the manual to your monitor set the Horizontal and Vertical refresh rates to those listed in the monitor manual. Here is a snippet of the relevent section of XF86Config-4: # ********************************************************************** # Monitor section # ********************************************************************** # Any number of monitor sections may be present Section "Monitor" Identifier "My Monitor" # HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified. # HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a # comma separated list of ranges of values. # NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S # USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS. HorizSync 31-96 # HorizSync 30-64 # multisync # HorizSync 31.5, 35.2 # multiple fixed sync frequencies # HorizSync 15-25, 30-50 # multiple ranges of sync frequencies # VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified. # VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a # comma separated list of ranges of values. # NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S # USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS. VertRefresh 50-160 EndSection If I don't have the specs I usually set the ranges low and then widen them bit by bit. Note the low end of the ranges are standard for almost all monitors so you shouldn't need to change them. This works because XFree86 4 is aware of standard VESA modes and can figure out what's best for the monitor. -Adam On Thu, 7 Mar 2002, Brad Noyes wrote: > Hi all i've been struggling with trying to get nvidia's drivers to > work for my TNT PCI card.

Possible swap meet?

by Clint Moyer

As there is currently (AFAIK) no topic for the next Wednesday's WLUG meeting, I'd like to propose the possibility of a kinda sorta swap meet. I'm probably not the only person with an assortment of PC parts of dubious value. However one man's trash is another's treasure. Perhaps interested parties could bring their old parts to the meeting for possible exchange for someone else's. Is this practical, feasible, desireable or not a good idea at all?

nvidia with X

by Brad Noyes

Hi all i've been struggling with trying to get nvidia's drivers to work for my TNT PCI card. The install goes fine, but when i startx, i only get a blank screen. Looking at the Log, i don't see any fatal errors. When i kill X (from a remote machine using ssh) my screen displays a few dozen vertical lines, and no console. I'm not very fluent in X, perhaps someone can spot an error in the config, or log file. Thanks, --brad
