Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | Hi everyone,
I downloaded yesterday the testing x86_64 iso and got into an incompability issue
The nvidia driver 190.32 is not working with my Nvidia 8400M GS, it starts the livecd and keeps trying to start the Xserver for indefinite time but I can't
So is it an incompability issue or bug on the iso?... I think the second since nvidia site says that the beta 190.32 should work with 8400M GS

However, the open source nv driver should still work, can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors? As soon as the nouveau driver is ready, it will be included in paldo. The proprietary NVIDIA driver is also still in the repository, just no longer installed by default. You can install it using

Right now I'm using VESA driver because NV driver crashes X.org. 
It works adding these lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
NOTE: If you already have a "ServerFlags" section in xorg.conf you should only add the "Option" line.  .............................. Running GNU/Linux Paldo 1.18 (unstable). Rock my box! |
