Hi,
I have been using Debian since 1994 but I only in 1996 and 2009 I
had an issue so severe I had to write to this list. Just when I
want to leave for travel, my X on my laptop dies ;-(
I am using wheezy on my laptop. It has the nvidia card. Hardly a few
months go by without trouble with this. I believe the touble started
with the recent update to 290-10 of xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
packaged. I don't know how to downgrade, the snapshot server seems
down.
After spending about 10 hours on this, I find that it does not see
the internal screen. With an external screen, I am fine. But I can't
lob a screen around on my travels.
Using a liberal configuration in xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
I see in /var/log/X.0.log
[ 57.715] (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce Go 7300 at
PCI:1:0:0
[ 57.715] (--) NVIDIA(0): none
[ 57.716] (EE) NVIDIA(0): No display devices found for this X screen.
Trying to force things in xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Now I get
[ 960.743] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
[ 960.743] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
[ 960.744] (**) NVIDIA(0): ConnectedMonitor string: "DFP-0"
[ 962.019] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to get supported display device(s)
[ 962.021] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Invalid ConnectedMonitor request; request was
for 'DFP-0', but
[ 962.021] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): the valid display devices are 'CRT-0,
DFP-1, TV-0'.
[ 962.040] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to query OR info 0x24
[ 962.042] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce Go 7300 (G72) at PCI:1:0:0
(GPU-0)
[ 962.043] (--) NVIDIA(0): none
[ 962.043] (EE) NVIDIA(0): No display devices found for this X screen.
Any advice?
