Nvidia- proprietary driver for your graphic card can not be found (Solved)

[NoIBnds]

When I started the computer I got a box that stated the following "the proprietary driver for your graphic card can not be found,  is now using the free software driver (nvidia). Reason: New Release, reconfiguring X for Nvidia Corporation|GF119 [GeForce GT520]"

This is on a KDE system updated to today, It happened a few days ago also, it stops the loading of the OS, have to click the ok button then continues to load. No problems before this.

I have a NVidia GeForce GT520 1GB 16X PCI-E video card with an Intel I7-3930K 3.2ghz processor.

Once loaded it appears to run ok, just why do I continue to get the box while loading the system. I went into PCC and tried to point it to the correct drivers.

I searched forums several times before posting, couldn't find problem.

You can sometimes get that message when the product file (/etc/product.id in package pclinuxos-release) is updated.
It is used to regenerate the xorg.conf file if the release of OS changes (in case driver support status has changed). It should only happen on first boot after the update unless it can't regenerate the xorg.conf file for some reason.

It is happening on every boot. Stops the log-in until I hit the OK button on the error box. How do I fix it?

What is the output from:

Code: [Select]

lspcidrake -v | grep DISPLAY
Try running (as root):

Code: [Select]

touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Card:NVIDIA cards not working with nv: NVIDIA Corporation|GF119 [GeForce GT 520] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:1040 subv:3842 subd:1525) (rev: a1)

I ran the second the second command and rebooted the box did not come up that time. Then I ran the 1st command again with the same result as above

That confirms the problem is what I thought it was.
This has been a long standing problem with the nvidia-current package but is only triggered by the update to the release file.  I have fixed it already in the 310.19 package which is currently in Testing.
The touch command will have fixed your problem.
