[Bug 240980] Re: nvidia-setting cannot identify driver

2008-06-20 Thread Alberto Milone
Disable Compiz, restart the Xserver and launch nvidia-settings (with
Compiz disabled).

Let me know if it solves the problem.

From: 
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=109030highlight=nvidia-settings
  ( AaronP NVIDIA Corporation)
[QUOTE=AaronP;1577089]That's right.  Xgl does not support the NV-CONTROL 
extension that nvidia-settings needs.  You may be able to use the -c option to 
nvidia-settings to have it display on Xgl but control the underlying Xorg 
server, but that typically doesn't work due to the access controls set on the 
parent server.
From your bug report log, the NVIDIA driver appears to be running fine.[/QUOTE]

:~# ps -A | grep Xgl
 9034 tty1 00:00:00 Xgl-lockfile-wr
 9039 tty1 00:01:28 Xgl

Could this be the problem?

Uninstalled Xgl, reinstalled compiz.

Now nvidia-setting opens properly and will save configuration if run as
root.

Xgl is not and was not installed on my 32bit nvidia/Hardy system, wonder
why and how it was installed on the 64bit?

Both the driver and nvidia-settings were installed correctly. The NVIDIA
kernel modules is loaded.

Are you using Compiz?

Try this and see if it solves the problem:

Get to the following menus (if you use GNOME): System - Preferences -
Sessions - Startup Programs

Then click on Add

And insert this command:

nvidia-settings --load-config-only


Then click on Close.

Restart the Xserver and see if the problem is solved.

you shouldn't install nvidia-xconfig, maybe that's the cause of the
problem?

nvidia-xconfig was not and is not installed.  I didn't think it was
supposed to be, so I checked for contention/dependencies before I took
the error message's suggestion, and reported what I found.

the xorg.conf is essentially the same one used on OEL(RHEL) 4.5 and 5.1
that boot on the same system, and it works for them.

nvidia-settings does launch, produces the error message, and then offers
a very limited sidebar selection, cntaining only nvidia-settings
Configuration-notheing about configuring the xorg.conf file.

I also run a 32 bit Hardy with single nvidia graphics adapter, and use
envyNG without any problems.
