<snip> I had to add the parameter Option "NvAGP" "1" to get it to work. This makes the system use nvidia's AGP support instead of agpgart. If the number stated doesn't help, you can try putting a 2 there instead of the 1. The 2 will tell the system to load the agpgart module. Be sure to switch to runlevel 3 then to 5 so the system will load up the appropiate module. Just something to try.
Marshall, Where did you put this parameter ? Is it in the "Device" Section ?
Yes, here's what you need to look for:
Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce3 Ti 200" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "CursorShadowAlpha" "64" Option "CursorShadowXOffset" "4" Option "DigitalVibrance" "175" Option "CursorShadow" "1" Option "NvAGP" "3" ******************************** Option "NoBandWidthTest" "1" Option "CursorShadowYOffset" "4" Option "NoLogo" "1" Option "NoMTRR" "1" Screen 0 Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "NVidia"
Well, I gave this a try (of course). But ......... after having added Option "NvAGP" "3" in console mode, I did startx (as user, as recommended by Carlos Robinson) and ....... got a black screen again. After power cut (sigh !!!), I changed the Option value to "2", did startx again, and ....... got a black screen. So, after power cut, I changed the Option value to "1", did init 5 (for a change), HEY, now I have some green and white scramble in the top third of the screen, but that's all -- no further action. Had to cut power again. After reboot I let it run normally all the way to init level 5 and then .... I have a black screen. ;-((((((((( So finally, I restore my 'good old' nv-version of XF86Config and can work normally again. Any other options to try/use ? This is my Section "Device" of the 'black screen' XF86Config : Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce4 488 Go" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 Option "NvAGP" "3" (also tried 2 and 1) Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection Question to Curtis Rey : Did you miss my reply of Yesterday 23:20:28 to your posting ? I was looking forward to one of your very extensive helpful replies (although they have not worked out yet), but didn't see one so far.. Cheers, -- Jan Elders Nuenen the Netherlands
