Lenovo W530 & Nvidia driver
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2012 6:25 am
Hi all,
after rebooting my laptop while trying to solve the sound problem I had a very bad suprise ...
Black screen while trying to load the X server ....Unable to access the consoles (ALT - Fn)
If installing the driver works perfectly with 3 proprietary Nvidia drivers or with the debian packages , after reboot these drivers won't work ...
I 've got some Xorg traces saying:
Error no device found
Error no screen found
Xorg FAQ mentions these entries. But FAQ says that it means:
- incorrect driver in xorg.conf ( it's not the case because i've tried with the one useable with my Squeeze install on the same box and I've tried without config file, same result)
- unmanaged card , my Quadro K100M is one of the several cards listed as supported and doing a manual startx works well....launching mdm manually works too...
So I don't see any valuable option ....
I've checked the NVIDIA.bin to check how the module was loaded but I was unable to see insmod or modprobe in this script...
Your help is required
Regards
