Hi everybody!
Well, how the title says...trying to boot with or without options (resolution, compiz etc) and nothing. I even try to install nvidia driver and the same happens. The funny thing is that after booting with or without installed driver the screen is flickering couple times (and is black all the time) and after few seconds I can hear on the speakers the voice of loaded KDE. Oh, and while Kanotix is searching for hardware I can see sound blaster card, ethernet card but instead of NVIDIA FX 5200 I see something from SiS...it looks like Kanotix cannot find graphic card and wants to use integrated one...but I don't have one!  So....what it can be?
I can add that I've also tried Parsix and the same thing. Other live dostros finding this card without problems.
Help guys 'cos I want to stay with Kanotix 
Greets to all!! |

Try booting with cheat code vsync=60.
Greetings,

Well it uses the first in the order of the pci devices. If you do not disable it fully then this device is still there. You can override the detection with:
xmodule=nv |

Thanks for a quick reply! I will try to boot with these codes. Will let you know about the result.
Oh, and Kano, you mean that first it uses the device f.ex. onboard graphic or sound card and then installed ones? It can be, but like I said before I don't have onboard graphics  I only have onboard sound card but it is disabled and Kanotix can see that and instead is loading installed Sound Blaster...Hmm, but anyways I will try both commands  |

Well...I tried and nothing  After searching for devices, there still is something like this:
Video is: Silicon Integrated System [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge) , using xorg (SiS) server
And previous version of Kanotix and other live cd's says that video is Nvidia FX 5200 bla bla bla.......
It still looks like the system only sees the place where the card should be but not the card
Oh, and after booting (with or without these commands you've mentioned) in text mode and then startx, the error report says that there are no devices detected and when I tried to use your KNXCC and then to redetect video card , my comp freezes with black screen.... I can only say What The Heck   |

| If vsync= and hsync= to match your monitor rates don't do anything, maybe try xmodule=vesa? |

| Well it is possilbe that even when you use xmodule=nv it writes wrong name of it. Best try to disable onboard VGA via BIOS or via jumper completely. |

Hey again guys!
Well...there is a very famous saying in Poland "a stone fell from my heart" (in english, it stops pushing me there, so now I can breathe )
After playing with these commands one way or another and booting time after time I finally found out that there could be some othere reason like f.ex. disk or cd rom error. And guess what, after cleaning the disk with my shirt I'm writing from the booted Kanotix (with xmodule=nv command)  Yupiii
But anyway the problem still remains, it still can't find my graphic card while booting and without the command I can see flickering screen for a while and then nothing like black-ness. But most important is that I'm on, with or without recognized card
And ones again, so it will be clear, I don't have onboard VGA, onboard there is only sound card (disabled in BIOS and Kanotix found installed Sound Blaster) and Ethernet
Well, thanks for help anyways!
And last question. Is it safe to install this version on the hard drive? Will it go without problems (exept my graphic card ) ? If yes, when the system will be installed, will there be need for writing "xmodule=nv" everytime I start the PC or will this configuration stay how it is now?
Thanks again,
Adi |

Well...
with booted Kanotix with xmodule=nv command it shows something like that:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
Without xmodule command, like I said before, it won't boot,only black screen shows up and when I'm booting to the text mode and trying to write lspci|grep VGA (with my keyboard code of course enabled when booting) I cannot get this "|" sign to work. So I don'd know what it shows without xmodule=nv on. With the result above it seems that the system knows that there is FX 5200 card but why I can't see it while Kanotix is booting and why the graphics/screen don't work?
Hmm, anyways it's good that I can boot at last and istall it but it's a bit strange why the system/screen don't want to start without commands. Previous versions worked like the swiss watch
Thanks again for help, and Kano, you can forget about this problem if it is not so important for you. I can boot, it works and I don't think that there are many people with graphic card older than coal
Have a nice sunday guys!

| maybe try installing the latest driver from nvidia.com website. i recently had display problems with my own cards (GeForce 6800 and GeForce 2) that i resolved that way - instead of using the usual kanotix scripts |

Thanks for suggestion jiro! I have already installed Kanotix and it's running now on the driver from the script but I will try to install the driver from the nvidia website. Maybe it will improve the "quality"

Ok, I have another question but I don't know if I should to start another topic or not. If yes, sorry...admin, make a new one or remove it
Well, the problem is that I can't install qtcurve. This is from installing qtcurve for sid from kpackage:
dpkg -i '///root/24279-qtcurve_0.23-1_i386.deb' ;echo RESULT=$?
(Reading database ... 117460 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace qtcurve 0.23-1 (using .../24279-qtcurve_0.23-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement qtcurve ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of qtcurve:
qtcurve depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.1); however:
Package kdelibs4 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing qtcurve (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
qtcurve
RESULT=1
And this from trying to install kdelibs4 with apt-get:
root@Tiamat:~# apt-get install kdelibs4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package kdelibs4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
kdelibs4c2a
E: Package kdelibs4 has no installation candidate
Hmm...  Can i force somehow qtcurve to use kdelibs4c2a instead of kdelibs4

I did not, I found out that later. Now I've installed new one and all works perfectly...for now
Oh, and again sorry for asking it here but I don't want to start another topic only for that. Does anybody know some net tv application, for example something like PPLive NetTV? I was trying to find something like that but with no success. Or maybe just start that thing via Wine?
Thanks,
Adi |
