Greetings.
Which file is Hipster using to define the video driver to use? X is trying to
use the NVidia driver, which fails. Under FreeBSD, the Intel driver worked, so
I'm hoping it will here as well. But none of the files I've found that mention
the NVidia driver seem to actually be an Xorg config file.
Like Xorg on all other platforms, it will use /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists,
or config snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but the default configuration
doesn't use a config file, but lets Xorg check for available video devices
and uses its internal mapping of PCI vendor ids to drivers to decide which
drivers to use for those.
Hi.
That make sense, thanks. It also explains why I can't find a config file to
edit.
So, is there an "official" way to override the driver X is using? Do I need to
hack together a config file to do this?
You should just ba able to create a file named
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-driver.conf
that contains:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
(change "vesa" to the name of the driver module you want to use)
Hi.
This would make sense, and looks like what I had on FreeBSD, but X is
ignoring it. No matter how I set the file ownership/permissions, I'm
still just getting the failed NVidia attempts. :-(
