I've just bought the following motherboard Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H, 9400G IGP, 512MB
but can't get X to run. I'm using an old Debian etch installation, but I have upgraded X and the kernel to lenny. I used the nvidia installer to install driver version 180.29, and have confirmed that the kernel module of that version number is loading. The error I get in Xorg.log is (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:2:0:0. (EE) NVIDIA(0): Please see the COMMON PROBLEMS section in the README for (EE) NVIDIA(0): additional information. (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! In dmesg, I get: [ 2765.100578] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 180.29 Wed Feb 4 23:44:25 PST 2009 [ 2774.450899] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x31:0xffffffff:1018) [ 2774.450906] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed I'm using an xorg.conf file generated by nvidia-xconfig. I've put my xorg.conf and the full Xorg.log at http://jdc.math.uwo.ca/tmp/nvidia/ The X version is "X.Org X Server 1.4.2" and the kernel is linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 2.6.26-13. I've also tried compiling the Debian nvidia-kernel-source package, version 180.22, from experimental, with the same results. As an experiment, I tried the Debian nv driver, but it is too old to support this card, and I tried the vesa driver and got mtrr errors. A rescue CD I tried was able to bring up a basic X session, and I haven't yet done so again to see what config it used. Any thoughts? Should I try asking in the nvidia forum?
