Hi,
I’ve installed Debian Wheezy on my laptop and I am trying to make my GTX860M work on it. I’ve downloaded the newest driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.46.run and installed it - got a message installation complete.
but my /etc/X11/xorg.conf - is empty
However when I am doing: lspci -nn | grep VGA I am getting:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06)
I am using KDE, so I am trying to launch: “NVIDIA X Server Settings” from Applicattion -> Settings
I am getting this error:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.
so I am executing:
nvidia-xconfig
my xorg.conf is changing, re-booting system. KDE didnt start, when I am trying to run:
startx I am getting:
“No screens found” and “No devices Detected”.
so I need to roll-back to my old empty xorg.conf to be able to start KDE…
this is the content of xorg.conf which causes X to failed when I am executing startx:
nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-xconfig: version 340.46 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-03) Wed Sep 24 14:38:35 PDT 2014
