Could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 Hello, I finally have Arch running on my MacBook pro 3,1 nvidia: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (operation not permitted) (mid 2007) but when I startx after installing Nvidia drivers it gives nvidia could not open the device file dev nvidiactl the Input/Output error and states "could not open device file /dev/nvidia0." I tried everything from the Nvidia wiki, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone please have any other ideas or things to try? My Nvidia card is 8600M GT and I have installed xorg-server, xorg-apps and Nvidia-utils already. Also is it possible my graphics card is not compatiable with this new kernel? Thank you for your time.

Where would I add video groups to? I was logged in as root and it still fails. Offline #4 2012-08-21 18:37:09 mynis01 Member Registered: 2011-04-29 Posts: 66 Re: Nvidia Input/Output error. Could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 Add your user to the video group with this command:gpasswd -a archvillan video (replace archvillan with whatever your user's name is)Try modprobing the nvidia driver before you start X to see if it returns any errors:modprobe nvidia Offline #5 2012-08-23 12:05:59 sophismo Member Registered: 2012-07-28 Posts: 20 Re: Nvidia Input/Output error.

I first started experiencing it when I would leave my computer logged in overnight. I would come in and find the screen frozen and flickering. When I ssh'd into the machine, I could see that Xorg was using 100% of the CPU and a ton of memory. I could kill kdm, but not Xorg. Only a full reboot would cure it. When it would reboot, my second monitor sometimes would not work and it would take several reboots to get it up and running. Recently, I was working in matlab and had Xorg freeze on my numerous times...always when I had my second monitor up and running. I have checked the logs and don't have any major failure type errors. The only ones that stand out are: Code: (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-1): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:3:0:0. (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-1): Please see the COMMON PROBLEMS section in the README for (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-1): additional information. (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-1): Failed to initialize NVIDIA graphics device on GPU PCI:3:0:0! (II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART. (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-
