   Hi, I installed Slitaz 5 RC3 in a Dell Inspiron with nVidia Geforce Go 7950 GT card in it.

   Previously, I had Slitaz 4 running on the same machine with nVidia non-free module and compiz without any problems.

   When first installed it automatically installed the nouveau driver and X started without any issues. Downloaded nVidia non-free driver installed it and changed 60-Device.conf to nvidia as the driver. Now when I boot slim login screen does not come up. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows following conditions

   Following up on the warning on driver ABI and the recommendation to downgrade the X server, I uninstalled xorg-server and installed xorg-server from Slitaz 4 repos.

   When rebooted I was able to get to Slim logon screen but after that system just freezes presumably due to incompatible versions of software but it is clear that the version of xorg-server and nvidia non-free driver has some incompatibilities.

   Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?

   Many thanks.

   173.14.31 driver requires old version of Xorg. Don't know why we have both non-working and non-free package in repo.

   Try 96.43.23 - was tested by me with current X on 7600 card, only need manual symlinks for opengl:

   @az_ua, worked like a charm. Many thanks.

   EDIT: Perhaps a version of nvidia driver which is compatible with xorg-server will be released one of these days?

   [ 21.257] Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

   Tried to load nvidia kernel module via rcS.conf - this gets me to the Slim logon screen but after that the system freezes.

   Yesterday, I think I removed the xorg-server from the system and installed the xorg-server from Slitaz 4 repos. While it all loaded correctly and I was able to login I noticed that it was extremely sluggish.

   I will do more testing later on and give you an update.

   Thanks for your time.

   tazpkg search-file nouveau

   tazpkg remove linux-drm

   HOW it worked before?

   nvidia 96.43.23 is wrong driver for nVidia Geforce Go 7950 GTX
   According to http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.23/README/appendix-a.html

   nvidia 304.125 is the correct driver for nVidia Geforce Go 7950 GTX
   According to http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/304.125/README/supportedchips.html

   Blacklist module Slitaz-5.0
   Bootloader:
   modprobe.blacklist=<modulename.a>,<modulename.b>
   Config file:
   # echo "blacklist <modulename>" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

   Blacklist module Slitaz-4.0
   Bootloader:
   <modulename>.blacklist=yes
   Config file:
   # echo "blacklist <modulename>" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    Hi,

    Downloaded nvidia 304.125 and installed the nvidia kernel modules and blacklisted nouveau using /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.

    All goes well and I get the Slim logon screen and then the system freezes - cannot even do a cntl+alt+f2. Perhaps the input devices are not recognized???

    To exclude incompatible config files I moved xorg.conf.d directory elsewhere to force using the xorg.conf file created by nvidia installer. Nvidia installer did not return any errors or warnings.

    What puzzles me is that I was able to install the nvidia driver in the repo (did not have to use the nvidia installer at all) and get it to work perfectly well with Slitaz 4 but not with Slitaz 5.

    Thanks guys - any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    PS. @az_ua, I think 96xx worked when I removed xorg-server and installed the older version of xorg-server from Slitaz 4 repos. I should have documented it all but I like hacking around rather than being a disciplined tester!

    @az_ua, I think 96xx worked when I removed xorg-server and installed the older version of xorg-server from Slitaz 4

    No, I'm using 96xx driver right now with clean Slitaz 5.0's Xorg without any 4.0 parts.
    With removed linux-drm package, and removed files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
    10-ServerLayout.conf 50-Monitor.conf 60-Device.conf 70-Screen.conf
    With added to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
    blacklist drm
    blacklist drm_kms_helper

    http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?download=../wok/nvidia-96xx/taz/nvidia-96xx-96.43.23/fs/usr/share/doc/nvidia-96xx/NVIDIA_Changelog

    * Added support for X.Org xserver versions 1.11 and 1.12.

    Slitaz 5.0 uses xorg-server 1.12.

    This is list of supported hardware:

    There are no any 7950 here, only 7900 (really it's same cards).

    Done a lot more testing with 304.125 and as per Xorg.0.log attached here it appears the problem is caused due to the fact that 'hot plugging' is enabled.

    18.802] (WW) Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
    [ 18.802] (WW) Disabling Keyboard0
    [ 18.802] (WW) Disabling Mouse0

    This is why I cannot go beyond the Slim log on screen.

    Any ideas on how to disable 'Hot plugging' so that keyboard and mouse are not disabled? Everything else seem to be OK.

    @az_ua, thanks for your comment but now that I have come this far I would like to explore all option to get 304 working. If I cannot go any further, certainly I will try 96xx. Thanks.

    OK, finally sorted it out....

    I had to turn off hotplugging using the server flags in xorg.conf as follows;

    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
    EndSecton

    Now I can login without any issues.

    Thanks, az_ua and mojo for your time and efforts.

    Addendum:

    Despite proprietary nvidia being successfully installed I had a problem with running Compiz. The problem was associated with symlinks not being updated when nvidia driver was installed.

    I had to remove the existing symlinks for libGL.so and libGL.so.1 and recreate the symlinks to point to libGL.so.304.125 created which was when installing the nvidia driver.

    ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.304.125 /usr/lib/libGL.so
    ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.304.125 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

    Once this was done Compiz started without any problems.

    Hope this will be useful for anyone else wanting to use proprietary nvidia driver.
