Fedora :: Changing Driver In Xorg?
Sep 7, 2009
I am setting up fedora 11 for a home theater. I installed fedora on another computer and figured out how to get the sound working for a Claro Halo sound card. (NOTE: you need to update the drivers for alsa to the same version of the utils that came with fedora alsa-drivers-1.0.21)So I went ahead and installed Fedora on my home theater box. Now I have a problem with the x driver. Fedora installed the nouveau driver by default. Because I have a Panasonic wide screen tv the EDID is bad on this TV so I get severe overscan (Means I can't see the top and bottum menus) I need ti install th nv driver. I looked for xorg.conf but it's not there.So my ig question is how do you change the driver for xorg? And how do I make sure I have nv installed before I try and install it with x?

I found in my xorg.0.log the the xorg ATI driver is failing ALL options.
Code:
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

I have been running F11 for some time now. I install updates regularly and to this time have had no issues. Now it comes up with error.
Code:
[root@red 2305 ~]
$ yum update
Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Setting up Update Process
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check .....
--> xorg-x11-drv-nvidia conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-catalyst
Error: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-catalyst
Error: xorg-x11-drv-catalyst conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@red 2306 ~]
I do not believe that I even have the 'xorg-x11-drv-catalyst' mentioned here installed:
Code:
[root@red 2315 ~]
$ yum list all | grep installed | grep catalyst
[root@red 2316 ~]
This returns nothing so why the error?

I had an earlier thread with wrong title and wasn't sure of the problem at the time. Now I have some details after checking all the threads about catalyst so posting a new thread. The problem: In korganizer (or To-Do list in kontact), whenever double-clicking or right-click->Edit.. a To-Do item in the summary list window, it crashes Xorg.
[Code]...
Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting I think it has something to do with the amd/ati catalyst driver and korganizer. My video card is XFX Radeon HD5670. I have Fedora 14 x86_64 latest update with xorg 1.9.1-3. I tried catalyst 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, and kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64. Same problem.
If I use vesa driver, or from another PC with proprietary nvidia driver, no problem. Open source radeon driver works ok but sometimes the display turns off and I can't get back the display. And I need 3D. I scoured through the forum and followed the instructions exactly:

So I'm trying to get two fingered scrolling on my Ubuntu 10.10 netbook. According to advice fromhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516798I created an xorg.conf file in etc/X11 and put Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"in the file. I restarted my computer, and now it comes up withUbuntu 10.10 [Computer name] tty1[Computer name] login:Not only has this not happened before, I have no idea what to put for my username and password.

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 KDE 3 Initially FireFox was absolutely fine, But recently It became utterly slow. I searched plenty of forums and tweaked the about:config and played around with ipv6. Some threads suggested downgrading some x-video thingy coz of an update sadly I haven't got a clue how to downgrade, in addition all these threads were talking about rather old OpenSuse versions. I installed the newest Nvidia driver as some suggested it might have to do with the desktop effects, actually I just turned them off (literally just this moment) and FF ran utterly quick, hmm I would like to keep em though. Does this mean i need to downgrade that xorg-X11-driver-video thingy? I don't seem to have a downgrade option I can only update delete and so on...When clicking on versions it doesn't show any of the 7.3 only 7.4s. I kind of depend on some firefox plug-ins which is why I would rather not use another browser..

Is it possible to add more than one graphic device driver to xorg.conf and it will load automatically? It is important to autodetect because I am using the configuraiton read only. This is because it's a custom LIVE CD.This is what I currently have, and it works!
Problem is if I put my Live CD in my brothers machine, it fails to load because it uses a Radeon driver!I can preinstall the ati packages I need, so all i need to know is how do I make it work?

Does the Xorg driver used for the keyboard determine the keycodes in X11? the ones seen by xev? The reason I ask is xev used to report my F14 key as 183, now it is 192. I think this happened when i switched to evdev from kbd.

Arch linux 32-bit AMD 2400XP, ATI Radeon 7500 Graphics Just did a system upgrade which included xorg-server being upgraded to version 1.7.4.901 This seems to have broken the "radeon" driver--I get a very dim green screen. I have now got the system running with the vesa driver.
Google shows that there is a known issue here, but I did not see my exact symptoms or a cure.

I just purchased an Acer Aspire V5-123 notebook with AMD processor and graphic and installed Debian 7.6 (stable) on it. first of all, I had to install a newer (3.14.0.bpo.1-amd64) kernel image to get the ethernet card working. Then, I got problem with Xorg not starting.
Here is the error lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Code: Select all(EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x0 out of range
...
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
and this is the output by issuing lspci:
Code: Select alllspci -nn | grep VGA:
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device [1002:9834]
I installed the libgl1-mesa-dri, xserver-xorg-video-ati, and firmware-linux-nonfree packages, as suggested by AtiHowTo from Debian Wiki, but the problem still persists and the last one (firmware-linux-nonfree) actually caused the notebook to freeze on boot. so, I removed it.

i was recently trying to run some opengl apps on ubuntu, and installed new drivers for intel. The problem is that now, every time it reaches login screen it crashes. I'd like to remove it, but i can't. Recovery console asks for root password. Is there a way to do it from a livecd?

I have a problem that pops up with some games, sometimes: sauerbraten, lugaru, and nexuiz being the ones that pop to mind.
The problem is that when the game starts/loads the mouse "cursor" in the game will not work... the thing is frozen. The "fix" is to jump to a virtual terminal, via alt-ctrl-1, and restart KDM, then I log back into the session and everything is working swell.
This problem does not occur in Osmos, World of Goo, Warzone 2100, or the Linux Ryzom client.
I thought about adding an explicit /etc/init.d/kdm restart in my /etc/kde4/kdm/Xreset file, but that seems too draconian.
This has been a recurring problem on several machines with several 7000, 8000, and 9000 series Nvidia cards running under the proprietary driver, on both 32-bit and 64-bit AMD processors ever since Lenny and up through Wheezy. And it occurs on the following desktop/windowing environments: KDE4.4, icewm, fluxbox, blackbox, E17.
I would guess that it's a driver issue or a driver+xorg configuration issue.
PS: Please don't suggest that I should use the open source driver.

I have a ATI Radeon HD 4000 PCIe card in my Debian system. I got the proprietary ATI drivers working (fglrx) but a kernel upgrade killed that. I was unhappy with this driver due to the very high memory usage. The card works with the non-proprietary drivers but I can only clone my desktop. I want a single desktop on two monitors.
I booted with Ubuntu Lucid and my dual monitor desktop worked out of the box without the proprietary drivers so I thought that I could emulate what Ubuntu does in Debian. But I can't.
My issue is that I don't know whether I am missing a module in the kernel or I need to set up a brand new xorg.conf. Ubuntu doesn't have an xorg.conf to copy. My default Debian doesn't either.
I have messed around with my own xorg.conf and added various drivers eg "ati" and "radeon" but I can't get it to work with a single desktop dual monitor display.

I recently switched from jessie to stretch on both i encountered a jerky ui in gnome 3. after a longer research i noticed xorg consumes over 80% of my first cpu-core while moving a window. for testing purposes i switched back to the nouveau driver and there is no high cpu usage while moving a window, also the ui is smooth.
i tried 3 different nvidia driver: the one from the debian repository, the current stable and beta driver from the nvidia site. i noticed on all 3 the same problem.

I got the weekly updates; libc files and an xorg core file from memory. Thinking now the xorg core possibly rewrote my xorg.conf!seems to have killed the restricted ATI driver. I can boot from kernel 2.6.24.26 but 27, the one I did the updates, after the Ubuntu progress bar I get a black screen. Booting from 26 I get the low resolution graphics guff and need to set it manually each time. Go to Sys->Admin->Hardware Drivers, and sure enough, the ATI driver is 'Not in Use'. Switch it on, try booting into 27, black screen.
Phew, back to 26, change to manual config, get back in, see ATI driver is off again, leave it off and leave manual graphics resolution and config, boot back into 27, everything is stretched and out of proportion!! But I can at least get in. Switch ATI driver on in there, reboot into 27, black screen.This is pretty urgent as my wife is end of semester uni stuff and needs this machine. Worse, so am I and have even more on the plate (but at least have a computer!),

I have a 3rd party driver that is trying to install a touch screen driver, it is looking in /etc/X11 for xorg.conf and it isnt there. The Ubuntu docs pointed me at a diff folder which also didn't contain xorg.conf. c is it located? I will just sym link it during install them remove the link once its done. EDIT: Should probably mention that I'm running ubuntu 10.10 (Which was upgraded from 10.04). And I'm running Desktop Edition

I am using 10.10 64bit with a Nvidia GeForce Graphic Card on my Acer 5741G 434 Notebook.
I have always used Compiz and without it I can barely use my Notebook. Apparently I had to install the Nvidia accelerated 3d Drivers (current version) in order to use Compiz.
However I cannot enable the "normal" visual effects (right click on desktop / change bakcground/ visual effects) that are necessary for using compiz.
Also everytime I reboot my resolution goes back to 800x600 although I saved the resolution to 1366. So everytime I start my Notebook I have to go to the Nvidia X server settings and set the resolution to 1366.
What I tried until now:
- I tried to reinstall Ubuntu twice!
- I tried to unistall all nvidia Drivers and install through the terminal using the command "sh" the nvidia drivers i downloaded from their website
- I tried to use the nouveau open source driver
Additional Information:
- when I boot a logo of the nvidia BETA driver appears
- for the past couple days I even experienced another problem: the windows do not have the minimize/close and maximize buttons
I am even willing to install the System again!
I had nothing but problems with the latest 10.10 ubuntu distribiution.

With the upgrade to Squeeze and the 2.6.32-5-686 kernel, my Dell GX260's 82845 video chip suffers from the documented intel driver bug (freezes within a few minutes). I tried to fall back to the vesa driver, but am only able to get 640x480 resolution. The monitor is an LG L1720P.
I turned off kernel mode setting (via /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf), and modified xorg.conf -- added Modeline entries (from gtf) and
additional Mode lines to try to force resolution. Relevant portions of xorg.conf, dmesg and Xorg.0.log are shown below.

I'm currently using windows 7 on my computer, I have an ATI GPU and I am willing to install Ubuntu to finally rock it out. However I'm going to change my video card for a newer nVidia one in a few weeks and I'm wondering about the drivers change.. Under windows it should be quite simple however I'm quite afraid of possible issues I could have under Ubuntu. Probably (I believe and hope) everything will just work fine, simply plug and play, no conflicts, nothing at all. However I'm asking because I would like to avoid any issues, as I prefer dealing with windows one month or so more than having driver issues under ubuntu...
Resume: is it possible that changing GPU (brand) generates driver issue under ubuntu 10.10?

I have an Asus z9100 laptop with an Intel 855GM integrated graphics chip, which is running Karmic (the purpose of the laptop is to be a MythTV frontend so my understanding is that it needs to run 9.x in order to connect to the MythTV 0.22 backend - I have installed and configured this using the installable Mythbuntu package) and the laptop is subject to this bug which causes random freezes:
[URL]
So, following advice for similar freezes I've seen, I have added the following options to my grub menu.lst on the kernel line:
nolapic nomodeset
and I have edited xorg.conf so that it makes use of the vesa driver instead of the Intel driver. This results in no freezes and if I wanted to watch Myth on the laptop screen I'd be squared away. However, the laptop has a damaged screen so the point was always to output the signal to an external monitor via its VGA out.
When I attach the external monitor and boot with the setup as described, the external monitor is never detected. But I noticed that if I remove the "nolapic nomodeset" from the kernel boot line, it is detected. However, signal is only output to it during the earliest part of boot (when the Ubuntu logo is in the center of the screen before the full-screen graphic with the animated progress line), after which the external monitor goes black and all the display output goes to the laptop screen. The external monitor power button is still lit up green as if it has been detected and is receiving signal, but it's just a black screen.
get the signal out to the external monitor after the initial part of the boot process, using the vesa driver? Here is the current state of my xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
