Firestarter with init 5

[mylo]

In order to get a firestarter inst with a GUI I have listed the steps I did/assume to do. I just have a init 3 and do not know, where my fault is. The nvidia inst instructions seem to be outdated.

1) Install Firestarter

2) d-u (the real big one)

3) Open vim and generate the 20-nvidia.conf file

4)

Code Select Expand

dpkg -l | grep nvidia provides none
dpkg -l | grep nouveau provides xserver-xorg-video-nouveau:
Do i have to do anything with this like purging or anything else before 5)?

5)

Code Select Expand

apt-get install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver nvidia-vdpau-driver .

Will this lead to a correct working init 5 firestarter? Do I miss anything else?

which firestarter flavour did you use? nox?

[mylo]

Hi michaa7,

kde!

[mylo]

It was not my intention to post a warning. Was this my fault or did anybody move?

[absolut]

have you installed nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms, such that the nvidia kernel module is built automatically?

has the nvidia kernel module been loaded?

paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log after you have attempted to boot into X (init 5)

[mylo]

Thanks absolut,

this looks better now. The module is loaded.
I will test firestarter now and come back, should I need expertise on var log.
But seems now I can have init 5 now.
