Xtacy t14600, Redhat 7.3.. X but no logo.

08-12-02, 03:46 AM

I went through all the threads and with much wisdom I installed and uninstalled the to .rpm files several times before getting it right!

The search function of these forums is awesome.. T-bird is the man... I found several threads where his advice paid off..... Thank you Thunderbird..Anyway.

I am able to startx.. but I don't get the famed nVidia logo everyone seems to get? I checked my XF86Config-4 and the only stuff loading is nVidia based. I even deleted my XF86Config just to be sure I was using the XF86Config-4. Also my screen is not aligned properly and when I use xvidtune I am still not able to totally correct it.. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is my config.

The XF86Config-4 part looks ok to me.

You can try "cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version" to see what nvidia driver version you are using. And also check the output of "glxinfo" to see if you are using the nvidia driver stuff. (If correct that output will say that the vendor is nvidia, what version number you are using and it will spit out a lot of GL extensions.)

I made a new config with the XFree86 -configure command and I was able to correct my alignment issues. No nVidia logo however. I am able to play Quake 3 Arena v.1.31 without any lag.. But I am concerned I missed a small step somewhere and may have issues in the future.

08-12-02, 05:04 AM

Incidently here is an output from glxgears... I am not sure what a good output is but I am sure someone else can run it and benchmark it for me..

$glxgears

73712 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14742.400 FPS
77294 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15458.800 FPS
71461 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14292.200 FPS
62573 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12514.600 FPS
61719 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12343.800 FPS
76893 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15378.600 FPS
78637 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15727.400 FPS

All looks ok. The only time you will see the X logo is the first time you start X after a reboot. For the rest it is ok.

08-12-02, 09:07 AM

I found a XFree86-conf directive to enable disable the graphical splash you can find it in the install readme or some such. included in the rpm drivers ... find it by doing a rpm -qp --list YourRPMFile.rpm this was for the nforce chipset.

08-12-02, 09:28 AM

My option for disabling the logo is not set. Everything seems to be in order even though I get no logo.

BTW... the command is

#Option "NoLogo"
