Don't know why, but nVidia drivers doesn't use the dri2 module, I think it has it's own implementation or something, you can safely ignore that, even if your 20-nvidia.conf disables (or tries to) dri2. The xclock error is also ok, you probably have twm emerged, but not xclock. The default xinitrc (in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) tries to run twm, 3 xterms and xclock. > > The first error is definitely on startup, but the latter could have > appeared on exit. > > I have a file 20-nvidia.conf in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory > with the following information > > Section "Device" > =C2=A0Identifier "Device0" > =C2=A0Driver "nvidia" > =C2=A0VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" > =C2=A0BoardName "GeForce GTX550 Ti" > =C2=A0BusID "PCI:5:0:0" > =C2=A0Screen 0 > EndSection > > Section "Module" > =C2=A0Disable "dri" > =C2=A0Disable "dri2" > =C2=A0Load "glx" > EndSection > > If I add exec startkde to the top of the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, > then startx fails to start. =C2=A0I get the same dri2 error as above, but > also get > > startkde: Starting up... > Connecting to deprecated signal > QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) > kded(13865): Communication Problem with "kded", it probably crashed. > Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did > not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " You should not edit this file, you should create a ~/.xinitrc and add startkde to that. Try again without messing with the default system xinitrc and using your own.
