Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page

[rrrssssss]

Hello Nv forum,

I have tried three different versions of the Nvidia display driver on my PClinuxOS 2009.1 distribution and I keep getting this message whenever I try to view the X Server Display Configuration window in the Nvidia control panel:

Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page

The three versions I have tried are Nvidia current, Nvidia 173.xx, and Nvidia 180.29 and I am using the Geforce 7600 GT graphics card.

Everything else shows up fine and the display driver works fine with the proper resolution so my xorg.conf must be configured correctly.

I have discovered that some people have had this same problem due to a bug in one specific version of the display driver that was resolved in the next release: http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=113934 and the fix for their problem was to use "LANG=C nvidia-settings" but this did not fix my problem. I believe my problem is caused by something else since my problem persists with three different versions of the Nvidia display driver.

I would like to gain access to this window in order to configure TV out.

Can anyone help me resolve this?

Thanks in advance,
Roy

Try to strace to find out what fails:

LANG=C strace -s 100 nvidia-settings

and see what it does before printing the error message. You might want to use ltrace if you know which lib is called. (say libX11)

Please post your xorg.conf as well, maybe we see whether it might be the parser that fails, and why.

Here is the result of running LANG=C strace -s 100 nvidia-settings but I could only grab part of it because of the terminal window's maxed out buffer (I'm guessing about that).

The nvidia-settings display config page needs DynamicTwinView enabled to work. See the section in the README about dynamic TwinView: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...hapter-13.html

Your advice fixed the problem. I set the option DynamicTwinView to true instead of false in the screen section.

Thanks a lot,
Roy
