dear list,
After a few months of running Arch, I am now fine tuning everything (or
at least trying).
I discovered this error message in *kernel.log* file.
NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.
Googling let me to many forum posts about this issue with Nvidia card
and driver, but I couldn't find any clear answer.
I have tried all the cited tricks in my *grub* file:
-add *vga=0*, or *vga=795* (1208x1024), or *video=visa:off vga=normal*
-*GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=console*, *GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text*,
*GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep*
and whatever else I couldn't remember, but nothing changed about this
message.
As far as I understand, Nvidia does NOT support vesa framebuffer, but
only vga. Fine. My system is NOT using VGA console. Fine.
But how do I need ton configure my *grub* file ?
Here are the concerned line from my file :
*GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024*
Please help as keeping running X like this is not recommanded.
TY.
