Nvidia Driver Install - rivafb driver conflicts
I have installed debian sarge using deb installer rc1. (2.6 kernel, /etc/apt/sources.list updated with unstable entries)
The system is a 2000 xp with soyo dragon plus mobo, audigy sound card, Geforce 3 TI200 video card I now have everything working fine including gnome desktop install. I am attempting to install the nvidia driver, however when I compile the module I get the following error. Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support! ▒ │ ▒ │ The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please ▒ │ reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then ▒ │ try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again. ▒ │ ▒ │ *** Failed rivafb sanity check. Bailing out! *** ▒ │ ▒ │ make[2]: *** [rivafb-sanity-check] Error 1 ▒ │ make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv' ▒ │ make[1]: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 ▒ │ make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel' ▒ │ make: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 From what I can gather, there is a frame buffer option turned on and that is loading a module which is causing the problem. How do I reconfigure the kernel and disable the rivafd driver so I can install the nvidia driver to my system? I am pretty new to linux, so thanks in advance for the assistance. |
try as root
modprobe -fr rivafb i think its rivafb, just a guess |
that will only temporaraly disable the module untill next boot. do a search on how to disable modules
|
do
Code:
lsmod | grep rivafb the nvidia driver install should have gone just fine. the rivafb message was most likely just a precautionary message. |
cadj and zero79 Thanks for all your help.
I did the lsmod and saw that the module was not loaded so as you guys pointed out, it had to be another problem. I found information from this site which helped out. http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debi...tallation.html In the log file I noticed, as this site points out, that the errors were caused by not being able to find gcc-3.3. I did an apt-get install gcc-3.3 and the module then compiled. I reconfigured XF11 file and the driver loaded properly. I do an lsmod now and can see the nvidia driver there. Thanks again for all your help, quite a learning experience for me. |

i can't find 'rivafb', when checking 'lsmod' as 'su'. i have gcc 3.3.2. i also have this running off of an intel whitney 1.0 motherboard, with integrated intel i810 graphics. i have installed it in the past, but it was with a different driver... NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106.pkg1.run. i have a copy, of which i forgot i had, till now! i don't know where i got it, but if you can't get it, ask me.
for kicks, this is output: [root@localhost Desktop]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810E DC-133 GMCH [Gr aphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810E D C-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC ) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02 ) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801A A AC'97 Audio (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0185 (rev c1) 01:01.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev 11) i wonder if evoking 'add-on vga card' at bios, is required? i know that windows 2000 sp 4 requires install with 'bios assigning vga irq'. i hope this helps someone! |
