Post subject:  Installed latest nVida drivers and get Id "c7" res
Dunno if I'm just tired and screwed up my X11 conf file, but I can't get X to start properly now!

Managed to install the drivers correctly, which is at least a step forward compared to my last attempt :) (helps to read instructions properly :P )

This is the specific error, have searched but have not uncovered my answer yet:
mythbox init: Id "c7" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

No errors in the Xorg.0.log file

My xorg.conf:

Code:

Post subject:  got the same message
I got the same message during my nvida upgrade process in R5E50.

I was following this thread:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight=
and after the nvidia driver scirpt finished and I rebooted, I started getting the "INIT: id "c7" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. " message. I was so scared that I had hosed my system up.

In a panic, I went back to the thread and found my solution near the bottom of page 1.
MrFahrenheit posted that he had to run the following commands:

update-rc.d -f install-nvidia-debian remove
update-rc.d -f nvidia-glx remove
update-rc.d -f nvidia-kernel remove

and then re-run the nvidia driver script.

After a reboot, all worked.

I hope it works for you too!

Unfortunately I am still getting the same problem. I'm pretty sure I have screwed up my Xorg.conf file. Even though I backed it up, i think it all got lost in the translation and I may have overwritten the backup :(

Try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to create a new one. It's what I'd do.

OK. What video card do you have, and what monitor do you have?

Thankyou very much Mike! :)

I managed, about 5 minutes before your post to get that working, but it is much appreciated all the same!

Several problems, including a PEBKAC error!

I did a search for the nvidia modules, weren't loaded. So "modprobe nvidia" then the devices weren't present. running nvidia-kernel solved that. Still couldn't start X... Some idiot forgot to rename startx.save back to startx!

So renamed startx, added nvidia to /etc/modules and hey presto, back up and running! Even better then before!

Thanks once again for all contributions!
