Nvidia proprietary driver 304xx failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon
Hi,
I need to install the Nvidia proprietary driver 304xx on a laptop with a Geforce Go 7300 (Nouveau is not working):
[root@localhost mcpiot]# lspci | grep NVIDIA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
As suggested on the RPMFusion wiki, I installed the akmod-nvidia-304xx
and kernel-devel
.
The Nvidia module seems to compile and loads but I only get a black screen. Here is the relevant part of the output of sudo systemctl status gdm
:
(...) gdm-Xorg-:0[3432]: (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon

The following error spotted using the command journalctl -b 0 | grep "(EE)"
seems to be the cause of the black screen:
(EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 662 does not belong to any known session
Thanks for your help,
Rémi.
Logs that might help:

Exactly the same situation as you, with the same hardware. I have tried KDM instead of GDM but as soon as gnome-shell starts it freezes, consuming 100% CPU.
I have also manually installed the 304.125 driver from the
.run
file provided by Nvidia. Still the same error:@igordcard, I tried lightDM. It sucessfully showed up but I never managed to log into my session.
