X fails after ddm-mx nvidia install

#1 Post by galen »

Hello,

on a fresh antiX16.2 install
I ran ddm-mx to install the nvidia 304 driver.
Rebooted, X is dead

xorg.conf is too sparse

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
	Identifier "My GPU"
	Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
ddm.log snippets

Code: Select all

Try removing the xorg.conf file and reboot.

if that doesn't work, run

Code: Select all

sudo nvidia-xconfig
and reboot.

4.4.10-antix.1-486-smp i686

I removed xorg.conf
and that did not work.
I'll try the nvidia-xconfig

tried the good old nvidia-xconfig
and it wrote xorg.conf
#startx
EE error 1
rebooted
still no X

added some modes just in case

Code: Select all

sudo nvidia-xconfig --mode=800x600
sudo nvidia-xconfig --mode=1024x768
sudo nvidia-xconfig --mode=1600x900
these modes show in xorg.conf but still no X
nvidia module is loaded

the only thing I can think of right now is to check the blacklists files in /etc/modprobe.d to make sure the noveau driver is blacklisted.

Is it objectionable to install a newer driver using sgfxi, or won't that work on antix? (just tossing an idea out there, no experience with antix here)
