[arch-general] Nvidia/vesafb/GRUB2

[Arno Gaboury]

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.
