SOLVED : Geforce 440 gt - Nvidia-current

[JohnW_57]

I'm Confusing now , as i said before i choose GeForce 400 series and later because i think it's appropriate for my card but every time i reboot this message again appear ""the Propriety driver for your graphic card can not be found, the system is now using the free software driver (nvidia)"

When running a PCLinuxOS livecd which hardware/drivers is chosen?    (check PCC  -> hardware)

I'm running the same kernel you are, so that shouldn't be a factor.

One thing I have done on this machine that may or may not have an impact is that I have removed all the Nvidia video drivers except for current - I got rid of 173 and the other one in Synaptic.

I want to say I had the same error with Nouveau being used come up, and I went through PCC, set the card to 400 or newer, saved it there, and now the only issue I have is after the GRUB screen the system claims it can't find a video output mode.  I can either hit Enter and manually enter one for it to use, or just let it sit and it will boot on its own.  Graphically everything works fine, and I'm using the Nvidia driver.

Did you enable desktop effects and secondary display in PCC?

I agree with that 100%. That will reduce the number of proprietary driver choices you have.

I also remove all the Nvidia video drivers except for current , Yes I enable desktop effects but "secondary display in PCC" where is it ?



still that message appear "the Propriety driver for .... etc"

[djohnston]

What are the results of

lsmod | grep nv

still slowly , for example when i'm using kwin effects and running virtualbox and firefox hang when switching from program sometimes about 11 seconds !? this is the reason i want to use nvidia proprietary driver. this is why i ask "Is this PC specification good to run pclinuxos kde"

Okay, thanks. Just wanted to be sure the proprietary kernel module is loaded. It is. I don't have your class of card. Mine are all the nVidia 173 driver series. Maybe someone else will chime in again who has your card or one close to it.

thank you guys for help , when i disable desktop effects everything is ok, no hang at all, but i think there is a solution. I tried Previously opensuse kde one of the Heaviest kde distro and kwin effects work smoothly after i install nvidia driver from nvidia site.

I never used a super fast kde distro like PCLinuxOS.

My suggest to raed to use the driver option is working for you.

Lol,  almost 4.00 am here.  

Waiting for other suggestions.

To see whether the kwin issue might be a problem with user settings, create a new user. Log in as the new user. Don't add anything. Just test kwin effects to see if there is any change.

Waiting for other suggestions. Just want to know Is it a good idea to download nvidia driver from there site and install it in pclinuxos and remove all nvidia driver from synaptic first ?
