| Post subject: | nvidia driver makes text consoles not work with tv-out? |
I installed the nvidia driver using the script and it made xwindows look really good on the tv-output (1024x768). But now if I use <ctrl><alt><f1> to get to a text console the tv can't sync with the signal. It looks like when you set the refresh rate too high on a computer monitor. Durring bootup the text console outputs everything normal. By normal I mean the TV syncs to the signal just fine. And I use to be able to use the consoles before installing the nvidia driver. Is there a file somewhere that defines the resolution and refreshrates for the text consoles? |

edit lilo.conf and make the vga line read vga=normal then run lilo -v and reboot. |

The first line of my lilo.conf is vga=normal already. I ran lilo -v anyway and rebooted. I still can't view the consols. Where are the settings for the nvidia driver? It must be there because I only got this problem after installing them. |

sorry to say, but sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it. there is a known bug. generally if you use vga=normal then the problem goes away, but not always. You can try to make sure you are not using any sort of framebuffer in X as that is where the problem lies. |

Where would this be? Somewhere in the XF86Conf-4 file? |

well that would be a good place to start looking, quite honestly I'm not 100% sure, that's why I didn't specify. |
