Hardware :: Switching From Geforce 9600GT To Onboard 6150 LE Won't Display X

Jun 20, 2010

Initially I was using my onboard 6150, but I bought the 9600 and used it for a week. The fan was too noisy, so I decided to switch back, but now when gdm is started the screen goes black, the LED on my monitor turns orange. First I tried switching to a virtual terminal, which didn't work.

I did a hard reboot and popped in a rescue disk. When I tried mounting my root file system to look at look at the log files, at least /bin and /lib became inaccessible. Finally I booted into the live cd I'm running now.

Recently I switched my kernel (to 2.6.32-5) via apt, with some irregularities, but the problem existed before I switched so I doubt that's the problem.

note: I have a working xserver now, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with the graphics chip itself.

Hardware :: Using Geforce 6150 Nforce 430 And NVidia-drivers 196.*?

Jul 20, 2010

I used the videocard Geforce 6150 nforce 430 (NV4C) without problems untill the upgrade to kernel > 2.6.32 and nvidia-drivers > 190.*. After the upgrade I can use only nv and vesa in the Gentoo x86_64 and in the Fedora 13 x86_64. When I try to install Geforce 8800 GT everything becomes good with free nvidia-drivers and with proprietary ones in both distributions. use this videocard with the kernel 2.6.33(34)* and nvidia-drivers 196.* ?

Hardware :: Nvidia GeForce 9600gt - Error Message About Running In Low Graphics Mode

Mar 15, 2010

So I've searched across these forums and haven't quite found the same problem I'm having. For the record, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 So I built my new box, and my video card is a Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 9600GT (GIGABYTE GV-N96TZL-1GI). I go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to install the drivers so I can use those fancy 3D effects. It tells me I need to restart, so I do.

When it comes up though, I get an error message about running in low graphics mode, the top 5th of my screen is blacked out, and the screen has been shifted so that the left boundary is in the middle, and the right boundary goes off the screen and back to the left side. It goes back to working fine (but without the fancy 3D effects) when I remove the drivers. Both drivers in the hardware drivers (185 and 173) have this problem. I'd post log files and such, but I'm at work right now.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Install 10.4.2 LTS On PC With NVidia GeForce 6150 Card

Mar 23, 2011

This is to request the communities assistance with the following: As the title suggests, I am attempting to install 10.04.2 LTS on a PC equipped with an ASUS M2NPV-VM mobo and integral NVidia GeForce 6150 chipset/card and AMD dual processors.

Result: While the CD with the installation software loads, the splash screen comes up distorted and is displayed as several black and white horizontal bars. I have tried this with low end monitors with a VGA input with the same results. It appears to me as if though the video driver on the installation CD is not suitable for the mobo's chipset, but I may be wrong.

Ubuntu :: Getting X To Work After Switching From Onboard Intel Video To A 5000 Series ATI Card?

Apr 25, 2010

I'm having trouble getting X to work after switching from onboard intel video to a 5000 series ATI card. Apparently I need to switch to a MESA or fglrx driver. I did a sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver and it installed but still no X. I'm currently using Karmic. I've tried to boot with a live CD which works fine and changed the xorg file manual but that was a mess.

When I start I get a checking battery state ... done and it stays there forever sometimes and sometimes I can login but without x. Typing startx gives me a long list that says check the xorg website. I've been looking around for a way to fix this and haven't been able to get it working.

Ubuntu :: Onboard Nic Plug Broken Pci Nic Inserted Need 2 Remove Onboard

Sep 8, 2010

I just built a computer and the onboard nic pluggin is loose and won't register or connect right... so I had to put another nic card in pci to connect to wired network for internet. Problem now is its delaying something fierce... i'm thinking if i can manage to uninstall or disable the onboard nic maybe things would work better... problem is i wouldn't know how to do it... I know hardware is connected via a document somewhere in the file system... if I were to delete the file would that disable the nic or would it just reinstall itself on the next boot?

General :: Wrong Display After Installing GeForce GT 335M

Oct 1, 2010

I bought a new laptop 2 months ago, with a GeForce GT 335M VGA and win 7 preinstalled. I installed in parallel Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit but face the following problem When I activate nvidia driver from the "hardware drivers" tab ( it gives me only one choice ,to install :version current" driver ), I get after restarting, my screed divided in 4 quadrants with something like a corridor in the middle ,each quadrant showing a tiny ubuntu log screen Only after uninstalling it or booting in graphics fail safe mode I get a normal screen again but then, google earth e.g runs slowly and complains that it works in open gl mode or something like that.

May be its only that the VGA card is new and there is not yet a proper driver for it? Or should I try some changes in some configuration file? I have tried the advices from [URL] but it didnt help . In win7, the card works fine but ....

Ubuntu :: Switching To Old School Startup Display?

Feb 16, 2011

I just did an update on an Ubuntu 10.4 LTS machine and it wanted to reboot so I did now I can't even get to the console. I think it's hanging up somewhere on the start up but thanks to the Microsoft like tell you nothing display I don't know for sure or what exactly is hanging up. The only thing the system responds too is ctrl alt del to reboot. Can't even ping it or log in via SSH. I already installed the same updates on this machine but luckily did not reboot it yet. I'm willing to bet whatever package broke the other one will break on this one and if I can figure out where it's breaking I can figure out how to fix it. That means seeing it start up not the blank screen I'm getting. Been meaning to find out about this anyway as the graphics thing annoys me to no end. I prefer to see what services error or fail rather than find out weeks later when I thought my back up service was running and it wasn't or that snort never did run or I'm looking through the logs and discover there's a problem that's been going on for weeks that I never noticed until I went through the logs about something else.

So how do you switch to a detailed start up mode?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: GeForce 8400 GS + 10.10 - Screen Image Extrapolating The Display Boundaries

Nov 23, 2010

I have just installed a GeForce 8400 GS card in my Ubuntu 10.10 with the Nvidia proprietary driver( version number: 260.19.21).

The Display is connected to the desktop through an HDMI cable and the resolution is 1920 x 1080 .

After some trouble(Black Screens), almost everything is ok.

The only problem is the screen that is extrapolating the Display Boundaries.

I have tried to set it through the nvidia configuration program without success.

Is there any parameter in Xorg.conf that could resolve this issue?

Debian Hardware :: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M And 4k Display - Small Icons / Windows And Texts

Mar 5, 2016

I have recently bought a new notebook, an ASUS K501UX, and I have encountered some problems installing Debian 8.3 on it.

In fact, already during the installation process it looks like there are some problems with the video card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M), since the lower part of the screen is just black (even if it still "exists", that is the mouse can go "behind" it and click the "next" or "cancel" buttons which are "covered" by the black stripe): [URL] ....

This problem persists also after the installation. Furthermore, since the screen has a 4k resolution (3640x2160) all icons, windows and texts are painfully small: [URL] ....

As you can see, however, if I take a screenshot all the desktop is visualized. This is what the screen actually looks like in the lower part: [URL] ....

I tried changing the resolution from the Settings, but apart from 3640x2160 no other options are available. Furthermore, the display is labelled as "Unknown display": [URL] ....

I then tried to change it with xrandr, but the output of xrandr command is the following:

Code: Select allxrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 3840 x 2160, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 3840 x 2160
default connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   3840x2160      0.00*

I then looked around the web, and found that this is a problem related to the video card driver. So, I followed the DebianWiki on the subject to install the driver, namely I installed the nvidia-driver package and then configured xorg with nvidia-xconfig. However, rebooting Debian, all I got is a blank screen with a flashing pointer, and xserver not working at all (if I press Alt+F3 and login and then try startx I get a long list of deadly-sounding errors like "screen not found").

What should I do? Should I try installing the drivers from the NVIDIA website? I've read (also in the DebianWiki) that this can cause problems to the system. Or is it really a driver problem? Why doesn't it detect the screen?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Proprietary NVIDIA Display Mode With Geforce 6200 And Acer X193W

Jan 9, 2011

I have a bit of a problem with the proprietary nvidia driver which I installed as a binary on suse 11.3, when I run the nvidia-settings gui it does not give any widescreen display modes as options. My monitor is an Acer x193w which will do 1440x900 but there is no option for that. The monitor is just listed as a generic CRT, and only 4x3 display modes are given. My card is a PNY Geforce 6200 AGP 512MB.

General :: Can't Connect To Display After Switching From Bash To Tcsh After Login

Aug 11, 2010

Can't seem to use tcsh as my login shell under CentOS 5 as I used to (if I specify /bin/tcsh as my start-up shell, the windowing system doesn't come up), so am logging in under bash then switching to tcsh on top of that, but it won't allow display access from tcsh for my programs. Gives the "cannot connect to display" error that usually xhost + is the solution for, but xhost doesn't help in this case (won't even run under tcsh, says unable to open display "0.0"). $DISPLAY is set in .cshrc. Must be something simple, but can't seem to find a direction to head?

Hardware :: Video Display Goes Blank When Switching From X To Virtual Console / Sort It?

Nov 9, 2010

I am having a problem getting my virtual console back after starting XWindows. The display goes blank when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1. If I press Ctrl-Alt-F7 I get the X session back. I have tried setting vga=x31A on the linux boot up. Also tried rdev -v /vmlinuz -1, and rebooted. I have tried two different monitors, same problem. One is a an LCD (Philips 170S6Fb/27, the other a Samsung Sync Master 750s. Originally the Samsung worked fine. I could switch between X and VC no problem. Now that I have the LCD monitor working after changing the XF86Config, I have this problem.

My kernel is 2.2.15-5.0, Redhat 6.2. Here is the output of lspci for the video card:

00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4755
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 0
Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
I/O ports at b400
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled]

Hopefully there is someway to control how linux sets the video mode when switching consoles.

Ubuntu :: Nvidia 9600gt : Resolution Stuck On 640x480 With Proprietary Drivers

Oct 20, 2010

I have a BIG issue with my fresh Maverick install : when I install proprietary drivers via the graphic utility, either one proposed, the screen resolution is then max in 640x480. But I have hardware acceleration and compiz effects !

I tried, I think, everything. Forcing the resolution in xorg, in monitors.xml, try the newest ones via the ppa, install an older (and used to be working I'm positive) one with .run (which just prevent any graphic display).

Fedora :: Hardware - GeForce 4 MX440 Vs GeForce FX5200

Aug 28, 2010

Today I received as a gift a 5 years old Gateway 500X CPU which is apparently dead due to a faulty motherboard (I still have to troubleshoot it, of course).

Even in the cause I can fix it, odds are I'll prefer to make the aforementioned CPU a donor for my other machines, instead of resurrecting an old Pentium 4 (no HT) system.

Being this the case I checked the parts for possible transplants:

512MB DDR PC2700 memory module (useful right off the shelf for my main desktop system).
120GB Maxtor IDE hard drive (also useful, assuming it is in working order).
128MB AGP8X NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 graphics card.

On this last part (the graphics card) I have my doubts as of where to use it. My main desktop system already has an NVIDIA card: FX5200, 128MB, which is newer. The thing is that I've been doing some homework comparing both the MX440 and the FX5200 and get mixed opinions: for one thing the FX5200 is the latest of the two with some advantages like support for a later DirectX (which for Linux is pointless) and other things, but the FX5200 is also reported to be technically inferior to the MX440.

In your opinion/experience which card is a better performer? Should I expect a performance gain if I were to replace the FX5200 with the MX440?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Display Shows "dirtiness" When Switching To A Text TTY And Back.

Jan 28, 2010

I want to report a bug I recently found to devs.

I found that when switching to any TTY and then back to the graphic mode a rectangle of about 5cm long x 1 and 1/2cm tall appears in the right-down corner of the screen, filled with trashed vram data.

I did a screen capture but the thing didn't appear - opposed as ghost would! xDD But the fact is I can see it, no matter I go full screen and then back to normal, no matter I switch again to any TTY and then back to TTY7, it sit's there until I reboot: closing the session and starting a new one don't work either, the box is still there.

I'm running Koala 9.10 amd64 on a QuadCore 8400 and ATI 5750HD video card with drivers provided by Ubuntu itself, not the ones that came with the graphic card CD neither the ones available to download from ATI's website.

I'm running Emerald and Compiz, too.

OpenSUSE Install :: Set Up A 4x750GB OnBoard RAID 10?

Now that I set up a 4x750GB OnBoard RAID 10, I'd like to install my 11.2 Suse (w/ GRUB dual boot)from BIOS, I've partitioned my HDD so I have:- Array1 = 30GB HTFS, 30GB XFS, 30GB Solaris, then extended part. for all (each OS) swap, temp, etc ...- Array2 = 30 GB HTFS (DMy Documents); 30 GB (/home); 30 GB (unformated) and then a big part for game install and VMware partition (Win98 for my old games, winXP32, etc ...)As a (sad) matter of fact, instal WinXP64 and/or Vista64 works perfectly. I see the array as partitioned by BIOS, and everything works.

But I can't have my 11.2 (64) SUSE installed on the drive, I have -for now- a VMware for it running ... on Windows :s(while I'd prefere the opposit)When I start w/ Suse11.2 DVD (downloaded), it says it can't install as there is NO HDD !!ok, fine, I plug back a PATA HDD, then I start the install, then I move the partition to the SATABUT, even so, I can't start the Suse ...I then lauch the repare/recovery on the install DVD, but it says that there is no root partition, no SUSE partition to fixe

I'm new to Linux and have spent a few weeks tracking down and fixing a few problems.t the moment I've exhausted my ideas as to why I have no S/PDIF output, I'm trying to use the onboard audio from my motherboard. I get sound from the analog output to my computer speakers, but when I connect the coaxial S/PDIF output to my amplifier I get no sound. tried removing and reinstalling ALSA, muting and unmuting outputs in ALSA, checked my amplifier settings and inputs, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. I also tried to follow the troubleshooting and howto guides to the best of my abilityHere's a list of what I have:OS: Ubuntu 10.04LTS

Hardware :: Building A PC: Especially On Onboard Graphics Compatibility?

Feb 7, 2010

I'm planning on building a computer, to replace the ten-year-old workhorse I have at the moment. But I'm not all that knowledgeable about current hardware. The objectives are cheap and quiet. And of course everything needs to be Linux compatible.I have a few existing devices that I will want to use, and thus need support for. An IDE hard drive, IDE DVD Writer, PCI Wireless Adaptor, and PCI tv tuner card. The drives are the really important things, the PCI devices less so.

I'm in England, and I'm hoping to bring it in to a budget of �200-250.Usage is going to be web browsing including streaming media, watching video (though probably not HD),office work, maybe some light gaming, but probably the most demanding thing is GIS (Geographic Information Systems). I might want to try running stuff in virtual machines too.

For a processor, I'm thinking of an AMD Athlon II X3 435. Based on a magazine review, this seems to give the ideal price/performance ratio - anything more powerful means a bit of a jump in cost. Alternatively, I could go for a lower end processor and spend the money somewhere else instead. (More RAM is the obvious choice; would the ultra-cheap Sempron 140 and 4GB perhaps be better than the Athlon with 2GB?)

I want a motherboard with onboard graphics, and here's the first question: What's the Linux compatibility of onboard graphics like?. Most motherboards for AMD processors have ATI graphics, but there are some with nVidia chips. Which is better for Linux compatibility?

The second question: Is there much benefit buying any memory other than what's cheapest? I know there will be some performance differences, but are they worth worrying about in a budget machine? Also DDR2 is cheaper than DD3 now, but I expect in future that will reverse, so am I better off getting a motherboard that uses DDR3?

I've read that power supply quality is pretty important; an unreliable PSU can cause issues. And I'll also want to pay a bit extra to get something quiet, though I don't need fanless. Considering my choice of processor (TDP 95W) and other hardware (HDD, optical drive...that's about it), What power rating do you think I'll need?.
