Hi folks.
I've just tried to install the NVidia drivers onto my laptop without any
success. I downloaded the file from the NVidia site and ran
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
This ran fine, said it couldn't find the correct kernel interface, so it built
one, and then finished without errors.
I then made the appropriate changes to the XF86Config and ran startx.
Unfortunately it didn't work. All I got was my screen staying in text mode
with the screen having a black background with white block characters all
over it. <Alt>+<Ctrl>+<Del> reboots the pc fine. I've rebooted,
re-installed and re-checked everything but I can't see what the problem is.
Can anyone help?
I've put up all the files I can think of here:
http://www.stainburn.com/XF86Config.orig -- original config
http://www.stainburn.com/XF86Config -- amended for NVidia
http://www.stainburn.com/XF86Config.diff -- diff of the 2
http://www.stainburn.com/XFree86.0.log -- X startup log
