In the first or second mail with this topic, you wrote that you installed, among other things, the kernel module from the nouveau site. There is no need to do this. The kernel side of the nouveau driver suite has been added to the mainline kernel tree about a year ago and a month or so ago has been moved out of staging. This means that there is no need to pull things from the nouveau site for the kernel. You can just take any newer kernel. Say, Linux-3.0 or any after that. You should also try using releases instead of git snapshots in mid-development, at least to verify it works. Also, don't forget the Xorg driver for the server: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/ I haven't seen you state that you built and installed it and there is no way X will start without it. -- Fourth law of programming: Anything that can go wrong wi sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
