Error starting X Window system with NVIDIA Graphics Card

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

 



Hi!

I am getting an error starting the X Window system on a PC using an NVIDIA 
graphics card. I am using the system on Linux Mandrake 9.1. Here are the 
details of the version :

Linux localhost 2.4.21-0.13mdksecure #1 SMP Fri Mar 14 14:10:36 EST 2003 i686 
unknown unknown GNU/Linux

I first boot the system into the 'linux-secure' option, of the multi-boot 
screen. This option does not automatically boot into the X Window system, and 
may be related to the problem. The option that does automatically boot into 
the X Window system, however, does work.

After the system finishes booting up, through the 'linux-secure' option, I 
log on to my user account, and then try to start the X Window system, by 
typing 'startx'.

I have attached the log file produced during the failed startup, to this 
E-mail.

I hope you find it useful.

Perhaps the 'linux-secure' option is simply not meant to start the X Window 
system under any circumstances for some security reasons. I had to install 
the software driver for the graphics card from the NVIDIA web-site. Perhaps 
that may be the problem.
