Nvidi ti 4200 Blank Screen after nvidia install
I have a Nvidia ti 4200 video card, I am trying to install the Nvidia driver for it but I am running into some problems. Here is what I have done so far:
I first downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run file off of nvidia's site. I then did a Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then an init 3 to get out to a prompt and down x. I logged in as root and installed the .run file and it said everything was sucessfull. I edited the XF86Config-4 file and changed the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" and saved the file. I tried to start x and only get a blank screen, if I change the "nvidia" back to "nv" in my config file everything works fine. Here's what my XFree86.0.log shows: XFree86 Version 4.3.0 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-23mdksmp i686 [ELF] Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

I've same problem too
I've the same problem with the same videocard (Gainward TI 4200) but under RH 9 (Shrike). After installing the driver a blank sreen appears (or sometimes a black screen with some random chars). This is because the X-server crashes invact if U press ctrl-alt-canc the system restart, but the ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't function. The problem is that the debug info in XFree86 doesn't report EE or significant warning.
Now I'm going to post a my own thread stressing the problem I hope to solve it asa soon as possible. Have U solved the problem? P.S.: if u change in XF86config nvidia to nv you don't use the nvidia accelerated driver but the generic for Geffo 4, that driver works fine also to me (and I haven't still uninstalled the accelerated one) |
Restart?
What key is CTL-ALT-CANC??
Tomas |
sorry...
Probably U don't have an Italian keyboard, in an US keyboard must be CTRL-ALT-DEL. Right? with this key U're able to restartt the system (U can obtain the same effect with #init 6).
|
exactly the same problem here with mdk9.2. I get a completely black screen and have to hard reboot :( cntl-alt-backspace/del have no effect. Works again when I edit back to load "nv"
|
Probably is due to AGP modules
