unable to load module "nvidia" while everything seems to be in order #52

Closed Rodxxx closed 12 years ago

Hello, i am using the other issue with the unable to load nvidia module as reference to provide as much info as possible, since this issue seems to be a bit .. out of the ordinary:

System: Asus K53SC Notebook with Intel Gfx and a Nvidia GT 520MX

debumblebee installed w/o errors, and i got the nvidia-kernel-dkms 290.10 installed, support for the card was added in 285.xx

'modprobe nvidia' returns nothing

'dkms status' returns: nvidia, 290.10, 3.1.0-1-amd64, x86_64: installed

'insmod /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko' says: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko': -1 File exists the nvidia GLX module loads too

xorg.8.log lspci xorg.conf.nvidia

i am very sorry for the poor formatting of this issue .. :/

Erm, what are you doing? Your laptop isn't "officially" supported by power save option and no one bothered adding support for it. Why are you trying to modprobe nvidia in first place? "-1 File exists" means that module is already loaded, check output of lsmod.

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia means it cannot find /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so. It should be symlink to alternatives and so on, just track it to exact file.

well .. basically i got things running now, it's a weird issue .. first try i went and read the readme/install files and did as was told there and eventually run the install.sh, which led to that 'error'

after purging things and directly calling the install.sh things set up nearly perfectly, i merely had to get mesa-utils and now it's setup and working, issue can be closed now :)

thanks for the great work~
