Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers-396.24-r1
I have exactly the same kernel (4.14.52-gentoo) and nvidia-drivers (396.24-r1) and I don't experience this issue (though games requiring Vulkan crash out sporadically - there's an ongoing issue on the nvidia forums for this, where apparently it's already been fixed in some ancient fork, and not merged back). Perhaps this is specific to the card? I have a 660ti. Have you checked that the nvidia module is even being loaded (lsmod | grep nvidia)? -d On July 9, 2018 00:46:34 Philip Webb wrote: 180610 Philip Webb wrote: I updated to the latest stable Nvidia-drivers-396.24-r1 , rebooted & 'startx' : the result was an X error "No devices detected ... no screens found".

Does anyone have advice ? Check the xorg log. New(er) nvidia-drivers often take a bit of time to get upgraded to handle the most recent kernels. There is likely a more concrete (if no less helpful) message in the xorg log. You may need to stick to an older driver and/or kernel until one of them catches up with the other. (I no longer have an nvidia card in my Gentoo box, so I have no current specifics, but even when I did, it was legacy 340.xx. Jack
