This is a 64-bit system with GFORCE-9800GT-SLI.
When I installed the system from the liveCD, I get video. The fans on the cards run full time.
I installed EnvyNG, and set up the 180 series driver it recommends, following the instructions found in dibl's FAQ, #7. All appears to go well, until I get to the 'startx' part. For some reason, it starts the Gnome display (default is kdm), which freezes (the fans do shut up). On reboot, the system beeper goes wild, and it drops to the console login (which I can do). If I try to startx again, it prints out a bunch of stuff, including a message, "No screens found."
I went through all of the options in Envyng; the 177 driver gives the same result, and the others just plain crash.
Removing the nvidia drivers restores me to a graphical session, including fans at full speed again.
Well, any ideas what to try now?
Thanks.
Followup:
1. I tried the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2.run available on the nvidia website. Big mistake -- I wound up having to wipe & reinstall to get x back at all.
2. Here is the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
A real mess. Looks like I can't get the nvidia drivers to run at all, at this point.
Well, they did run for a second -- after following the steps in dibl's faq, at the first attempt to "startx", the gnome desktop (why?) came up and then crashed, but for a second, there, it sure was nice...
