Problems using the nvidia-binary-drivers / No devices detected.

Hi all,
I've installed recently a new release of Debian and compiled the latest kernel using a .config-file I used before.

Now I've a problem which never occured to me. After I install the nvidia-module and change nv to nvidia in the XF86Config-4 file, X won't start.

An other thing i noticed is that lsmod doesn't show nvidia after installing the module - but modprob-ing it didn't help either.

The nv-GPL-driver works fine, but its rather slow watching movies with it or playing bzflag hope somebody can help. Many thanks in advance.

Following my XFree86.0.log and XF86Config-4 (XF86Config-4 should be OK since I carried it with me from the previous installation)

Code:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian (static) 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 20050901212727 fjp@localhost.localdomain)
Release Date: 15 August 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.8-16.0508-2 i686 [ELF] 
Build Date: 02 September 2005

This version of XFree86 has been extensively modified by the Debian
Project, and is not supported by the XFree86 Project, Inc., in any
way.  Bugs should be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking System; see
<URL: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting >.

We strongly encourage the use of the "reportbug" package and command

Ensure the module nvidia indeed exists under /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/video
If it doesn't something went wrong during the installation and you gonna have to check for the errors produced during installtion.

If the module exists try modprobing it manually and watch for the errors. dmesg should help you in this.

Thanks for the fast reply,

dmesg's output shows nvidia:
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:44:39 PST 2005

as does lspci:
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)

After modprobing it, lsmod shows nvidia - but doesnt help.
So the problem must be somewhere else ... Well I'm keen to find out where.

Well, maybe I'll install Debian from the 3.1r1-CD released on 20th December last year - anybody recommending trying it? But its a pain in the neck since I allready finetuned much of my system - only video is not working at 100%. Anybody having positive experience with nvidia and following release:
debian-testing-i386-binary-1.iso

You may need nvidia-legacy drivers for that card.

Like one of theese?

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run

Used them with my last Debian, now I'm rather of the opinion that the Debian-testing release I downloaded as ISO has some bugs. I've tried anything else and I caried the config-files with me from the last Debian-installation, which I used there for three years without a single problem.

Too bad I did some nasty things as root which forced me to do a reinstall. But hey, 3 years is a nice time.

I'll install K3B burn that stable release and install a system up to network-support, then I install all the unstable-stuff I need and let you know how it went.

Maybe but only maybe I'll even switch to something like Slackware - but I went with Debian very fine for a long period - why breaking the 'dependency' for that single but though fun-related issue

So you have new etch/testing install with own 2.6.15 kernel config and etch's xorg? Check xorg site for nvidia driver supported with your xorg version. Check if you can use newer driver for your nvidia card. Recheck kernel config fb,agp settings. Newer kernels are tricky to get just right.
I am using asus GeForceTi4200( a few yrs old) card with debian etch 2.6.14x kernel with newer nvidia driver without problem.
Good luck.

not sure when, but at some point in recent history the nvidia driver has become incompatible with older cards.
apt-cache search nvidia
<snip>
nvidia-glx - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver
nvidia-glx-legacy - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver (legacy version)
nvidia-kernel-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source
nvidia-kernel-legacy-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source (legacy version)
</snip>


Edit:
Nevermind, I thought I saw GeForce 2 somewhere but this will not apply to FX 5200.

You should switch to xorg.

You can install the nvidia drivers like so:

# Get rid of the mess left by nvidia-installer
nvidia-installer --uninstall
# Ensure you have main contrib non-free in your /etc/apt/sources.list
# Ensure that you have the kernel-headers installed for your running kernel
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common module-assistant
m-a a-i nvidia-kernel
depmod -a
apt-get install nvidia-glx xserver-xorg # xserver-xorg only if you want to upgrade to xorg
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg # or xserver-xfree86-dbg if you did not upgrade

Thanks for the info, it may help me to finally decide to switch to X.org.

Is X.org compareable regarding performance and video-media-playability when configured correctly?

I realized and appreciate that xfree86 has been removed from debian-package-tree though I still prefer it for issues like gaming. I tried X.org some time ago but I lacked time to configure it back then and switched back to xfree86.

So I'll switch to X.org next days - there is much info about this issue, so I'll get around.

Thanks again!
