Hello Felix
I will setup a
Lenovo T410i laptop which has a nvidia grafic card. The
laptop should use additionaly second monitor when in the docking station
and of course expand the gui across both screens.
The (original) driver can't handle this - it
always assumes both montiors
are connected. So I installed the nouvea driver and get trouble with tdm.
Trouble from the nouveau driver is common with certain NVidia gfxchips.
Tdm starts and I see the clock for a short time
and then tdm terminates
and a text only terminal login is shown. When login and call "startx", I
get a working trinity session and the crash report manager is shown.
So my question is "where can I look for
error messages of tdm" or has
some one else an idea or a solution for the problem?
For us to help with any detail we need to know which operating system
version and hardware you have. These would help:
I use debian jessie on a lenovo thinkpad T410i. It has the GT218M Nvidia
chip build in.
On of the problems (crash of tderander) can be found and solved as follow:
From some play with tderander the files .trinity/share/config/display*
have been created - perhaps with errors. When started the gui with
startx I get a SegVault error. After deleting the files tde starts
without crash of tdrander. The error be could found in the function
"TQValuelistPrivate::findIndex"
I attache a strace and a gdb-backtrace for this error.
But this did not solve the problem with tdm. Here the wanted additional
informations
