Description Marcel Hilzinger 2005-08-25 16:08:06 UTC 
After installing the nVidia driver the graphics system starts with 3D. But 
with the next reboot, X does not start. Error messages on konsole 10: 
 
kdm :0[12346]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay 
X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly 
Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling 
 
driver 7167: I built the module with the kernel-sources 
driver 7676: precompiled modules 
with driver 7676 init 3 followed by init 5 starts the graphics system, with 
driver 7167 it doesn't.

nVidia Logfile

Logfile created, just after the X window system didn't start.
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-26 08:04:12 UTC 
Kernel module cannot be loaded.
Comment 4 Marcel Hilzinger 2005-08-26 08:10:30 UTC 
When starting X fails, /sbin/lsmod | grep nv shows me:  
nvidiafb  0 
i2c_algo_bit 1 nvidiafb  
i2c_core    2 nvidiafb, i2c_algo_bit 
nvidia      0 
agpgart     2 nvidia,intel_agp
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-26 08:15:41 UTC 
Thanks. Cood catch! Add nvidiafb to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. This has already 
been fixed for Beta4.
Comment 6 Marcel Hilzinger 2005-08-26 08:19:06 UTC 
And why does X start with just calling 
init 3 
init 5 
 
Some timing problem?
Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-26 08:21:45 UTC 
Don't know, but please try the blacklist entry first.
Comment 8 Marcel Hilzinger 2005-08-26 08:43:45 UTC 
It works.
Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-26 09:11:06 UTC 
Thanks for testing.
