Re: Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?
Sorry for the delayed response, was out with a sick child yesterday and had no web access at the Dr's office (they really need to put hotspots in waiting rooms! ;). At any rate, I also haven't had a chance to look at my files yet, but I wanted to make sure to remind you to set option "NvAgp" "2" if you do, which I know for a fact I'm using in my file. chris --- Don Whitteker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ( I am sorry if this was duplicated...mistyped address > and it was returned) > > --- Chris Readle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Fellow newb here, but I've also been working on X > > issues with my GForceFX > > in Linux *and* FBSD so I might (and I stress might) > > be able to help. > > Hey man...any help at all is appreciated = ) > > > First things first, can you post your > > /etc/X11/XF86Config file? > here ya go.. > > Section "ServerLayout" > Identifier "Layout0" > Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 > InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" > InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" > EndSection > > Section "Files" > EndSection > > Section "Module" > > # Load "freetype" > # Load "xtt" > Load "extmod" > Load "glx" > #Load "dri" > Load "dbe" > #Load "record" > Load "xtrap" > Load "type1" > Load "speedo" > EndSection > > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Mouse0" > Driver "mouse" > Option "Protocol" "Auto" > Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" > Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" > EndSection > > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Keyboard0" > Driver "keyboard" > Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > Option "XkbLayout" "us" > EndSection > > Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Monitor0" > HorizSync31.5 - 48.5 > VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 > EndSection > > Section "Device" > Identifier "Card0" > Driver "nvidia" > Option "NvAgp" "1" #was tring this out > #when I > was experimenting with the nvidia AGPGART > EndSection > > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Screen0" > Device "Card0" > Monitor"Monitor0" > DefaultDepth 24 > SubSection "Display" > Depth 24 > Modes"1024x768" "800x600" > "640x480" > EndSubSection > EndSection > > Are you using *dm (xdm, kdm, gdm, etc) or are you > > booting to CLI and doing > > startx?

Re: Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?
Fellow newb here, but I've also been working on X issues with my GForceFX in Linux *and* FBSD so I might (and I stress might) be able to help. First things first, can you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config file? Are you using *dm (xdm, kdm, gdm, etc) or are you booting to CLI and doing startx? I've had more issues with kdm and my FX than with CLI + startx. As for AGP and kernel config, I've gotten mine working with AGP in the kernel and compiled with no optimizations other than CPUTYPE. Once I get a look at your files (and compare them to mine at home) I might have some more suggestions. chris --- Don Whitteker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all and thank you in advance...first off I am > still a bit of a > newbie with FreeBSD (and *NIX in general) but am > learning more every > day = ) I hope I got this on the correct list but feel > free to point > me in the right direction if I did not > > OK...here's the problem.

Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?
Hello all and thank you in advance...first off I am still a bit of a newbie with FreeBSD (and *NIX in general) but am learning more every day = ) I hope I got this on the correct list but feel free to point me in the right direction if I did not OK...here's the problem. I have an A7N8X board (deluxe) and am trying to use the nvidia driver with my GeForceFX. I've installed 5.1-Release (I tries 4.8 too but the 5.1 just seemed to flow better with me) and have ACPI turned off in my BIOS and in FBSD. However no matter what I do all I seem to be able to get when I start up X is the nvidia logo. I lose all keyboard function and thus have to do a hard reboot. I have been working on this particular little problem for a number of weeks now to no avail. I have searched any relevant docs I could find (nvidia, handbook,XFree86 site, nforce2 site) to no avail. I have googles so much I have trouble remembering which keyword combination I used to get to a particular page. Basically I am clueless on what to try next. I have tried make setup with the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with agp in the kernel, tried the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with it not in the kernel but as a module, I have tried with no agp in kernel or agp.ko and using the cards AGPGART. I have even tried combinations between them. I have compiled and recompiled with optimizations (-march=athlon-xp CHFLAGS= -o -pipe) and without but nothing seems to change. The only errors I am getting in my XFree86.0.log is a couple of warnings about some resolution I don't use anyway not working with my monitor and of course it not being able to verify AGP usage when I am using freebsd's agpgart. Other than that everything looks peachy keen. Everything works fine with "nv" Looking back I probably would not have gotten such a problematic chipset if I had known I was going to be giving up windows and moving to something a little more fun = )...btw besides the whole video driver thing I am loving this OS. oh yeahif you need me to post my dmesg or config file or log or anything just let me know = ) Don Whitteker __ Do you Yahoo!?
