Subject: [gentoo-user] Nvidia-drivers stopped working
Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 12:54:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708051254.22641.schroder@ntplx.net> (raw)
A few days ago I ran my updates and nvidia-settings was updated to
1.0.20070302 All was good until last night. I openen konqueror to browse my
home dir and I got a mime-type error and no files displayed. Trying to do
konqueror /home/ernie gave me errors that I can't quote but mime types was
mentioned again. Assuming that something was just hung up I did top which
showed X using 95% cpu Killing java_vm, firefox, kmail and any suspected cpu
hogs had no effect so I killed X and attempted to restart it. I got the
dreaded "no screens found" error. Nothing in the logs was any more
enlightening and a look at xorg.conf showed no recent changes that I could
identify. I changed my driver in xorg.conf to "nv" from "nvidia" and X runs,
slow as hell but it runs.
nvidia-drivers is currently at 100.14.09. I need advice getting this straight.
Is there a file where nvidia-settings keeps config data other than xorg.conf?
should I update to the masked nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 ?
