Mouse and keyboard hung after starting with Nvidia drv

#1 Post by takenp »

Bionicpup64 7.9.5 of xxxphilb

I compiled Nvidia driver 340.107 for the distro and got the subj. (Mouse and keyboard hung) after rebooting.

But after unpluggin and plugging mouse and kb I got them working

So the solution I found on Arch wiki was like this. We have to disable evdev (Xorg input driver) in xorg.conf that causes this problem:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
...
    Option	   "AllowEmptyInpu" "False"
    Option	   "AutoAddDevices" "False"
...
EndSection
I've also added a section "InputDevice" from the older xorg.conf but possibly it isnt needed.

So nvidia driver is loading, mouse and keyboard works but there are some problems with libGL* libraries. glxgears says ELF class is wrong... ((

The puppy version is bionicpup64 7.9.5?
That is the latest release and the one to be using.
Have you done Quickpet>Info>Bionicpup updates?

Did you get the 64 bit version of the Nvidia driver?

You are sure that is the correct driver for your hardware?
The one Nvidia web site recommends?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I have had the same issue repeatedly with various Pups. I have found that at the end of the compile process Nvidia asks to re-write it's own xorg.conf file. Don't do that, and then run Puppy's xorgwizard and select nvidia and the keyboard works.
