If you build XFree86 4.3 you get 4.3 modules. Mixing modules usually works, but not always. Pcidata is one of those modules that should get upgraded with each new server. > any case, i guess what you are asking me to do is run a fresh install of > xf4.3. i was planning to do that... basically i will move /etc/X11R6 and > /etc/X11 and reinstall x. hope that will work. I think all you need to do is remove the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules directory and reinstall. Note you'll need to reinstall NVIDIA's binary drivers after upgrading XFree86, as XFree86 will blow away NVIDIA's OpenGL libraries.

[XFree86] nvidia quadro 280: cannot start x
hi i am having trouble starting x with this nvidia quadro graphics card on a dell precision 360. i got the driver from nvidia's website and installed it. i really think its not a driver issue but something fundamental with X. this is a new debian installation and i have never run X on it before. i did upgrade to xfree 4.3 though and built a new 2.4.22 kernel. i attached the log and the config file. can someone tell me where i am going wrong? thanks -praveen # File generated by xf86config. # # Copyright (c) 1999 by The XFree86 Project, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
