The problem I encountered was, that when I tried to start X with 8776, I got the following error message: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0.9629 but this X module has the version 1.0-8776. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same Version. And this even occurred after emerge -C nvidia-drivers etc. Now I got it back working with uninstalling the NVIDIA.<bla>.run package manually, and then unmerging nvidia-drivers, and remerging nvidia-drivers. So it seems that this BETA driver from NVIDIA behaves different from the former versions. But that doesn't matter anymore, thank you all for you help, cu Dieter > > -- > > [email protected] mailing list > > -- > Dmitri Pogosyan Department of Physics > Associate Professor University of Alberta > tel 1-780-492-2150 11322 - 89 Avenue > fax 1-780-492-0714 Edmonton, AB, T6G 2G7, CANADA -- Frank Castle is dead!
