[mythtv-users] Going Nuts re: Nvidia Setup

[Niels Dybdahl]

Hi Larry,

I also had my system (FC1) freeze on the splash screen until I commented out the glx module. I have no idea why I had to do that. On another system I made (FC3) I did not have to comment that out. And I also had my system freeze, when I used the RenderAccel setting.

Best regards
Niels Dybdahl

  Also, I ran system-config-display, took that as a baseline, changed "nv" to "nvidia", with the same result:  nvidia splash screen, nothing more. :(

    Jarod,

    If I run the xorg.conf (posted in this thread) without the NvAGp or RenderAccel settings, I just get the nvidia splash screen.  Weird.  

    It isn't supposed to be this hard is it? :)

      RH ships system-config-display instead. However, it'll want to configure the
      nv driver, not the nvidia driver.

      Nope, none needed here.

      I don't have any modelines in any of my RH/FC boxes using the nvidia driver.

      The nv driver sucks beans compared to the nvidia driver, esp. for MythTV,
      which makes use of some of the Xv acceleration features in the nvidia driver.

      If you haven't already, try commenting out the RenderAccel and NvAGP lines in
      your xorg.conf, see what happens...
