Then I give the command : sax2 and ................ I have a black screen !
CTRL-ALT-DEL has no effect, so I have to cut power ! ;-(
Next, I reboot to runlevel 3. I restore my "old" XF86Config file (which I had saved before). Then I go to runlevel 5 -> all is OK (using the "old" nv driver). In Shell Konsole, I go to sax2. In Desktop I have : - Monitor = VESA 1024x768@60Hz - Graphics card = NVidia GeForce4 488 Go after "finish" it shows "nvidia" at the end of the information-bar about the configured graphics card. - Color & Resolution = Desktop 1024x768 with 16 bit - 3D accelleration is off, but I activate it. Then I do "finalize" --> "test" and ................ I have a black screen again !
I haven't been following this too closely but I know that my wife's machine requires a parameter in her XF86Config file in order for the nvidia drivers to work without a blackscreen. 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.
