Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1, nvidia-driver and fbsplash, splashutils
Hello, i solved my problems concering the nvidia-driver and the splash-theme delay. Nvidia-driver works after upgrading to 1.0.8178-r3 and the splash-theme starts immediately after the boot message as i updated my kernel to 2.6.15.gentoo-r4. But one problem still remains, the display is displaced to the left in all my console windows on boot up, after i logged into my gnome-session the display fits perfect. When i use the button for automatically configuring the monitor on boot up, the console windows are looking fine, but when i log into gnome the display is displaced in the other direction. What can i do to fix this problem. Thank you in advance, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Check out sys-kernel/module-rebuild; I've got it installed and rebuilding all the kernel modules I have that aren't provided by the kernel is as easy as fixing my /usr/src/linux symlink and running module-rebuild -X rebuild (generally done /before/ rebooting). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi again! I've now compiled 3 new binary packages for you: http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.2.1-r7.tbz2 http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.93.tbz2 Whichever you want to use. If they don't work, I've also compiled a statically linked package: http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.93-static.tbz2 (12,5 MB!!) ACL support should now be disabled in all packages (USE=-* nls and configure-output showed that it was disabled). I don't know whether you should extract the package from your gentoo or from a live-cd, but don't forget to set the -p flag for extracting with tar or you might end up having an unaccassable version just because of wrong permissions. martin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thank you, first i tried the NvAGP thing but it didn't work, so i decided to upgrade to nvidia 1.0.8178-r3, now i can log in with gdm to my gnome-session as usual. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I recently upgraded to 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 too and my splash also shows up short after the OK message, but this is also with my laptop, which is equipped with a ati card (desktop pc is a nVidia PCX 5900). My kdm works fine. Did you remember to re-emerge nvidia-kernel? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This is solved in -r2: +gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r2.ebuild: Update to Linux 2.6.15.2. Some minor security fixes. Update sky2 to v0.15. Enable libata ATAPI (i.e. SATA CDROM) support by default. Fix fbsplash silent splash image not showing throughout bootup. Fix scsi memory leak. Cheers!

If you use 817X series, try 8178-r3, that has some interesting patches that solved this similar problem for me. I hope this might solve your problem!
