Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

Yea, under wine, even though its a windows emulator, its still using all of your linux configs including the XGL, Xorg, and nVidia configs. :toast:
 
Every time i install the latest Linux drivers in Ubuntu it doesn't load up anymore. I tried restoring xorg.conf but that did nothing. Only the drivers in the Ubuntu repos seem to work.
 
You'll probably have to uninstall and reinstall like in windows and when there is a problem with xserver then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
is a must try.
 
oh, i'll give that a shot.
i ended up wiping the partition cuz it pissed me off. :laugh:
 
Yup, its faster to reinstall linux than find a fix.
 
not necessarily, if you have errors in the xserver, boot text only, then use your package manager to uninstall the nvidia drivers, then install the working drivers. for redhat it would be something like yum -uninstall nvidia blah. Works.
 
not a link i wrote it all lol:D
 
nice find lol. That will be banned soon enough
 
How many mods visit linux forum?
 
well like two came in here. lol but if its a good bot it will prob be every where they will get it
 
How do i enable SLI in Debian Etch amd64?

Fox, how do i enable SLI in Debian Etch amd64? I'm using nvidia Geforce 6600...:)
 
Ill have to research this. Are your drivers from nvidia on the site, and have you tried following the guide and come into a problem?
 
Fox...

The Driver is from nvidia, Driver #169.12 for amd64...The problem is that your guide is for SUSE 10.0, so i don't know if your instructions apply for Debian Etch amd64?:)

Click to expand...

tbh idk what Compiz-fusion or Beryl is:D but its not just suse, read it all theres a whole section for other os's. also research what distros use the same package managers, IE same command structure

I have a request, how do i create a custom Modeline so that my image is not Overscanned or better yet can either of you create a utility that corrects the Overscan problems that the nvidia drivers bring to X? I'm using a HDMI Cable on a Samsung LN-S4092D LCD-TV 46 inch...So can either of you help me with this issue?
 
i personally dont know...if you try to config it like you did when you installed it their may be a way to enter advanced config or maybe the option is their were you can manually type in the passes of the tv.wha card r u using?


o btw your car is amazing.
 
hmmm, really this is weird. Cause the TV drivers and settings seem to be in their own "world" in windows. I've never even seen this stuff in linux. My own guess, would be if there is "problem fix's" or config for settings when using TV hookup, it would be in the program you get with the linux drivers. So the best I can give you would be look through ever command you can use in the nvidia settings that collaborate with X. Use all the -help and -advanced tags to get really deep into what commands and settings are available

EDIT: +1 to the amazing car, leaping lamprey thats sick

If you go to www.guru3d.com you will c the utility named Overscan Utility for nvidia cards for which affect XP and Vista users...Oh Solaris, my card is Geforce 6600 in SLI mode...Again, my request is to the both of you if either of you could create such utility for LInux users such as me and everyone else affected by this problem? As a matter of fact, i'm using a Monster HDMI Cable to my LCD and the end of the cable is DVI plugged to the one of the cards...

Again, thanks for your input and yours ideas....
 
Thanks for bringing it up to us, its def something we could try to look into. It just so happens that solaris just got a "bible" on nvidia programming and such, hes the guy to be talking too. We'll have to look into the xp progs and such then see what can be done.
 
Fox and Solaris...

Did you know that on XP the nvidia drivers have a several slide for you to increase and decrease the size of the image, yet on any linux distro those slides don't exist...

What the slides do is increase the vertical and increase or decrease the horizontal...If only us linux users could have that way as well?:)
 
yea the program is completely different for linux. All the options may be available, but you need to just use the command line. The linux drivers for nvidia is basically completely run through the terminal
