My conclusion and installation tip is to not reboot after the nvidia driver installation and to install a desktop environment + a display manager and to pray to not have problem. But I don't know if tty2 was working before (when tty1 only display black screen). So it seems to be a problem with nvidia driver and the framebuffer.Īfter the Gnome + Gdm installation I managed to display the framebuffer in tty2. So I continued the installation : Gnome + Gdm.Īfter the reboot : Grub, then framebuffer for 1 second, then a black screen, then Gdm login screen !!! And the best is after the 10s the X server shuts down and the framebuffer was back !!! Unbelievable !!! I think it is very handy and useful, but it is not available under the GNOME Keyboard Shortcuts settings. Then, use the flag to set your monitor’s refresh rate. If you are meaning to switch multi-monitor mode (internal only, external only, join, mirror), you can do it with the keyboard shortcut Super + P. Select a rate that your monitor can use at its current resolution. Take a look at your monitor’s information. I waited 2s then I entered the "startx" command.Īnd the xterm window appeared. The -rate flag allows you to set your monitor’s refresh rate. I reinstalled the nvidia driver and reboot : GRUB, then framebuffer for 1 second, then a black screen. I uninstalled the nvidia driver and reboot to have my framebuffer back. So I decided to test the X server to see if something got wrong. Unfortunately I had the same problem, with one difference: the auto/default resolution of GRUB and FrameBuffer was 800圆00 instead of 1920x1080 for UEFI.Ībout the nouveau driver, I need 3D acceleration to play games so I need the proprietary driver. I thought that my problem was linked to UEFI, so I reinstalled the os with BIOS and MBR. * SATA hard drive with GPT with first partiton: 512MiB FAT 32 UEFI system partition * Graphic card MSI GeForce GTX 660 N660-2GD5/OC Here is my way to force GRUB menu and framebuffer to 800圆00 resolution :Ĭould someone explain to me why my tty resolution switch to 1280x1080 while the framebuffer is set to 800圆00.Īnd if someone knows how to configure the nvidia driver to display high resolution in framebuffer and tty? I suspect the nvidia is not able to display tty in high resolution.īut I don't know how to lower the tty resolution to check that. GRUB menu was well displayed and framebuffer was only displayed in 800圆00 resolution. After that the tty was not displayed (just a black screen). Then I installed X and the nvidia driver. Whatever the resolution I chose for the framebuffer, I get a tty with a 1280x1080 resolution. If I put an higher resolution I just have a black screen during the framebuffer phase. The problem was the framebuffer doesn't support higher resolution than 800圆00x32. My first problem was the not display of the framebuffer (boot message) after the GRUB menu and before tty. I managed to install archlinux on my new computer which has the UEFI system.
