OpenSUSE Install :: No More Display After Nvidia Driver Update?
Aug 9, 2011This morning, I authorized an update as almost every day. I saw that the nvidia driver was on the list but in recent years, I no longer fear these driver updates since everything usually works well...
Except that this time, no! I turn on my pc this afternoon and more 3d effects. I run "Nvidia X Server Settings" which tells me I do not use the nvidia driver and must run as root the command "nvidia-xconfig," what I do. I restart X and no display at all, only the prompt in text mode!

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: No Display After Driver Uninstall - ATI Radeon
Sep 24, 2010The last few weeks I have been dual monitoring from my lcd monitor to my hdtv. LCD was connected via vga and my tv via hdmi. To my knowledge, my pc has two graphic cards, both ATI Radeons. One I believe is on the mother board, ATI Radeon 4200HD series, and the other is in a PCI slot ATI Radeon 5600HD series. I think that when I had it dual monitored the tv was connected via 4200HD and LCD via 5600HD (could be wrong).
What I Did: Everything was working fine (i was mainly just using the HDTV as my only monitor and main monitor). As you can guess I was gaming on the hdtv, but I was not satisfied with the slight lag I felt. So I looked at forums to see what I could do and they mostly said 1) change settings on tv to game mode, 2) turn off vsync on your graphics card. So I did #1, but when I tried to do #2 I could not open my graphics cards "menu" aka CCC aka Catalyst Command Center.
So I read up on why this might happen and they said I should uninstall drivers and reinstall the drivers, so I did this as well (with most current drivers from the AMD site, version 10.9) and still I could not get into the CCC. As I was reading more forums, they were saying the 10.8 version mainly has this problem. So what I did was I downloaded 10.7 (did not install yet) and uninstalled the new 10.9. When I went to reboot the cpu after the uninstall of 10.9 there was no display on my HDTV.
I figured I just need to go back to my LCD which was still hooked up to my cpu. No display there as well. I tried dvi and vga hook ups from the monitor to both graphic cards but nothing worked to get me a display. I also tried my girlfriends monitor, which only has vga, to both graphics card and still nothing worked. So at this point I have NO display. After about an hour of trying different combinations of cords, monitors, plugs, tv's etc.,
I RANDOMLY somehow got a display with my girlfriends monitor vga to the 5600 card (I think). I had to hold the vga cord a certain way on attached to the monitor in order for the display to work. So since I had a display, I quickly installed 10.7. After installation, it did not prompt me to reboot (which I thought was weird) so I just went to properties and tried to change the resolution to the max 1600x something, to see how it looks. The screen went blank and the display never reappeared. Now I basically have NO DISPLAY again.
Ubuntu :: Getting NVIDIA Driver To Display Correctly
Mar 31, 2011I have a problem with getting the picture to display properly on my HDTV. Using the regular driver (whichever that is) the picture displays flawlessly, but when I'm using the NVIDIA driver it displays really weird. URL...As you can see the top and the right of the picture is missing, and there is a large black bar to the left of it.Since it only does this with the NVIDIA driver I guess the driver is at fault here. The graphics card is a 8400GS and I'm running Xubuntu 10.10. The HDTV has a native resolution of 1366x768, and I've connected to it using HDMI.
I have tried messing around with overscan compensation in nvidia-settings, but it didn't help much.What can I do to fix this?
Ubuntu :: Display Driver Warning When Upgrading To 10.04 LTS?
Oct 16, 2010planning to upgrade to the next LTS version i.e. 10.04. Have already applied all the updates and got the system up-to-date prior to upgrading. But when the upgrade starts I get the following message: Upgrading may reduce desktop effects and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardware in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Do you want to continue ?Obviously, I clicked on NO and got out.What gives ? How come an upgrade is supposed to DEGRADE performance ? What kind of upgrade is that ? Also what is the implication for me ? Will I have to happy with 8.04 forever ?The machine in question is a Toshiba Satellite A100. I use GIMP quite a bit on it, so problems with graphics intensive applications is kind of worrying.What am I supposed to do ?? Upgrade anyway or stick with 8.04 ?

Fedora :: Does Default Display Driver Shipped With F12 Do This Out Of Box?
Jul 15, 2010In WinXP, with the nvidia drivers, there's fan control.By default, out of the box, my NVIDIA 8800 GTX card's fan blows at full speed (noisy). So when I'm booting up and I'm in the BIOS.. it's at full speed and loud. Once Windows loads up (and the drivers kick in), the fan goes almost completely silent. It stays that way until I load up something 3D intensive.. basically it runs the fan as needed.Does the default display driver shipped with Fedora 12 do this out of the box?What about the nouveau driver?How can I see the nvidia fans' speed while using the default display driver?

Fedora :: Back To Nouveau Driver - Display On Projector?
Nov 12, 2010Fedora 13, x86_64, up to date. Trying to get nVidia Quadro NVS 140M to display on a projector the same as it does on the laptop screen, which is 1680 x 1050. I failed to do so with the nVidia driver (latest version), so I want to go back to the nouveau driver and try with xrandr. I have always used the nouveau driver with Fedora without an issue, but in my former life in Ubuntu I sometimes switched back and forth between the "nv" driver and the nVidia driver.
Doing so was trivially easy - just edit xorg.conf replacing "nv" with "nvidia" or vice-versa, then restart X. However, after installing the nVidia driver via Yumex and using the nVidia config utility, I find that now I have an xorg.conf file that is loaded with stuff I don't understand, except that at the top it says it was created by nVidia, and there are two places where it says the driver is "nvidia." I have searched and all I can find is instructions for installing the nVidia driver.
Apparently that is meant to be a one-way ticket, because I can't find any instructions for how to return to the nouveau driver. Except stuff that is over a year old, and complaints from users whose systems failed to start X. What would happen if I just replace "nvidia" with "nouveau" in the xorg.conf file and restart X? I know if it won't start X I can boot to rescue mode and re-edit xorg.conf, but I'd rather ask first and do it the right way than have to repair a broken system.

Are there any logs that you would like me to post?
I have tried reinstalling the NV display driver via "additional drivers" in the live CD, but they do not appear to be being retained on the HD version of Ubuntu. When I go back into the live cd the driver is not installed.
How can I switch the proprietary driver back on in the hard disk when I am running the live disk.
Is there a repair system program?
If not is there a way of forcing an upgrade on an upgraded system so that missing files are reinstalled?
If that does not work what should I do next to get the GDM to load?
