Make sure nouveau is blacklisted. I can't check right now, but I think I used "needs_root_rights = yes" to get mine working. Also make sure nouveau is not in your initramfs either. The driver will fail with newer cards. It's poison with my 880M. On February 6, 2015 1:51:11 PM EST, "Csányi Pál" <csanyipal@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
well, I'm lost totally here. I don't know how to start my X Window system with proprietary Nvidia driver. I must to use it because an application needs it.
I tried in the Xwrapper.config the 'needs_root_rights = no', I tried to remove ~/.xinitrc to start X with defaults, I tried the '30-nvidia.conf' with Section "Device" Identifier "Nvidia Card" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection
but just can't to start X Window system with 'startx' command.
I have installed: kernel version: 3.14.31-1-lts nvidia-304xx-lts nvidia-304xx-libgl nvidia-304xx-utils
I look into '~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log' and see that that Xorg even not see the nvidia driver!?
Xorg tries to load other modules but nvidia not, and finally gives the following error message: 'No drivers available Fatal server error: no screens found(EE)
Please, help me to solve this problem.
