[SOLVED] Video 'crash' in MGA3, nvidia card, can't fix
Posted: Oct 16th, '13, 23:06#uname -r
3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3
also tried with
3.8.13.1-desktop-1.mga3
I've been on these forums for hours, trying everything I could find to fix the 'no screens found' & the "Sorry, but there as been a problem starting your graphical display...yadayadayada' mess. In short, can't do X11.
I've tried installing and uninstalling NVidia-Linux-x86_64-319.xx.run drivers. I've tried using drakx11 and installing defaults. I've used nouveau as the Xorg driver, as well as vesa, nvidia etc. I've tried nokms, nomodeset, xdriver=nvidia.
I've even reinstalled MGA3 on top of the existing installation, hand editing of the xorg.conf file, etc.
I'm dead in the water as far as X is concerned. I have to use vmrun to start VMware (assuming it will still work) and then remote in from another machine to get to my main vm where I do all of my work.
I need help... badly!
