Nvidia and X
Hello
I compiled a new kernel, 2.4.18, for ACPI and nvidia drivers. All went
well, eventually. After updating my XF86Config-4 I tried re-starting
x-windows. All I got was a black screen, no flashes of color, nothing. I
couldn't see any consoles either and had to do a re-boot.
My XF86Conig is below. The only difference between that and the one I'm
running now is the driver name and the commented-out modules.
The XFree86.log doesn't look that much different from when I was using
the nv driver. I'll send it if anyone wants to see it.
Thing is I've had nvidia working before, pre ACPI and pre this
installation of debian 3. (I've installed it a couple of times now, just
to get used to it.) So I'm wondering if it has somethng to do with ACPI.
Has anyone had a similar experience, or got a clue.... Help gratefully
recieved.
Steve
p.s. I have a Dell E770p monitor and a Nvidia TNT2 M64 board.
