[XFree86] nvidia quadro 280: cannot start x

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi


i am having trouble starting x with this nvidia quadro graphics card on a dell precision 360. i got the driver from nvidia's website and
installed it. i really think its not a driver issue but something fundamental with X. this is a new debian installation and i have never
run X on it before. i did upgrade to xfree 4.3 though and built a new 2.4.22 kernel. i attached the log and the config file. can someone
tell me where i am going wrong?

thanks

# sequences.  This allows clients to receive these key events.

#    Option "Dont Zoom"

# Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With

# receive a protocol error.

#    Option "DisableVidModeExtension"
