You're not running 2.6.14-gentoo-r2. if /usr/src/linux is symlinked to anything but the running kernel, you may experience problems. that's why I always reboot into a new kernel before re-emerging nvidia-kernel, which works fine with 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 here. If you don't want the hassle of logging into a console, emerging nvidia-kernel and starting X when booting into a new kernel, put this in /etc/conf.d/local.start, on a single line lsmod | grep --quiet nvidia || (AUTOCLEAN="no" FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge --oneshot nvidia-kernel && modprobe -v nvidia && /etc/init.d/xdm stop zap start) -- Neil Bothwick C:\BELFRY is where I keep my .BAT files ^^^oo^^^
