Whenever I start the NVidia Xserver configurator, no matter which options I pick (I have a 19'' monitor that goes up to 1600x1200 and neither AGPGART, NVAGP, or PCI work) it boots back to text mode with the message "No screens found"
could you post more of the error ? also, does `lsmod` show the nvidia driver as loaded ?
More of the error (all of it I can see): Version 11, Revision 0, Vendor Release 6600 Release Date: 18 Jan 2002 Build OS: Linux 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 i686 [ELF] Module Loader Present Log File: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" Using Config File: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" No devices detected Fatal Server Error: no screens found XIO: Fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X sever ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining When I accessed the log (pretty exact from what I saw): XFree Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Vendor Release 6600) Release Date: 18 Jan 2002 Build OS: Linux 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 i686 [ELF] Module Loader Present (==) Log File: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" (==) Using Config File: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" (==) ServerLayout "XFree86 Configured" (**) :--> Screen "Screen 0" (0) (**) : :-->Monitor "Monitor0" (**) : :-->Device "Card0" (**) :-->Input Device "Mouse0" (**) :-->Input Device "Keyboard0" (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode Disabled (**) FontPath set to...[if you actually need this, ask for it] (**) RgbPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" (**) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" (--) using VT number 7 (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) (II) Module ABI versions: XFree86 ANSI C Emulation: 0.1 XFree86 Video Driver: 0.5 XFree86 XInput Driver: 0.3 XFree86 Server Extension: 0.1 XFree86 Font Renderer: 0.3 (II) Loader running on Linux (II) LoadModule: "bitmap" [Goes on and on with Hex which I didn't copy down] [Attempts to load NVIDIA Driver, lists every Nvidia card ever made...] Fatal server error: no screens found
try #emerge pciutils then #lspci and paste it here
This is caused by your monitor not having DDC support, I think. If you choose one of the pre-defined resolutions, it should work. The 1.4 release livecd will have beefed-up DDC handling and should resolve this issue.
Question: did choosing one of the predefined monitors in game-setup allow X to start?
Selecting a pre-defined monitor doesn't help at all.
Pick the wimpiest pre-defined screen resolution and then if it still doesn't work, go ahead and grab the /var/log/XFree86.0.log and attach it to this bug.
OK, the real fix for this bug is to specify fallback screens like "1024x768", "800x600" and "640x480" so that when DDC isn't there, Xfree86's default HorizSync and VertRefresh settings don't cause all potential modes from being disqualified. Will fix this on the next ut2003-demo CD.
still the same issue i've connected my monitor through bnc cause of better quality still no luck :(
This should be fixed on all our latest gamecds....
