Dear All,
I just reported this on the Centos mailing list, maybe it's useful to
also share it here:
My laptop is an older MSI, it has a video card:
*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: C51 [GeForce Go 6100]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
physical id: 5
bus info: pci@0000:00:05.0
version: a2
width: 64 bits
clock: 66MHz
capabilities: vga_controller bus_master cap_list
configuration: latency=0
I had kmod-nvidia.i686 installed in order to be able to use an external
monitor.
I had to uninstall it before I was able to boot into the gui.
greetings, J.
Thanks for reporting here too, I might well have missed your posting to
the CentOS list :-)
Without posting any details like what version of the driver you are
using, or a copy of your xorg.log file showing the errors it's
impossible to say or do much other than guess at the problem.
However, I have done my best to test your scenario. The latest NVIDIA
driver to support your hardware (from elrepo) is kmod-nvidia-304xx, the
304 series legacy driver (if you are unsure, trying installing and
running nvidia-detect from elrepo which will advise you of the correct
driver for your hardware).
I can tell you that this driver works fine with the 6.4 update. There
was some doubt about whether older drivers would support 6.4 as Xorg
received an ABI update to 13.1 in the 6.4 release which older display
drivers might not support. However, I have confirmed that the 304.xx
legacy drivers and the latest 310.xx series NVIDIA drivers both fully
support the version of Xorg shipped with 6.4
So, my best guess is that you were maybe running an old version of the
NVIDIA drivers and needed to update? But as I said above, without any
further clues to work with I'm really guessing in the dark.
I think he updated kmod-nvidia ver 304 to kmod-nvidia 310 which does
not support older chipsets. He can use nvidia-detect to check, and
most likely to uninstall kmod-nvidia and install kmod-nvidia-304xx rpm.
Hello,
reinstalling kmod-nvidia-304xx solved the issue. I'm now running
Centos6.4 with package kmod-nvidia-304xx.
and I tried nvidia--detect as well:
-bash-4.1# nvidia-detect
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
Found: [10de:0247] NVIDIA Corporation C51 [GeForce Go 6100]
This device requires the NVIDIA legacy 304.xx driver (kmod-nvidia-304xx).
Thanks for helping me out.
Greetings, J.
You're welcome - glad you got it sorted.
