Can someone give me some guidance with regard to setting up xorg-x11-7.0-r1 to work with my Gainward GeForce 4 video card? Everything was working just fine with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 but after an emerge, X refuses to run! I get the following complaint in my Xorg.0.log file:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** I've tried installing (unstable) nvidia-drivers and nvidia-legacy-drivers, but the kernel complains about an invlaid kernel module. I get the same error if I use the (stable) nvidia-kernel module. My current kernel version is 2.6.15-gentoo-r1. I can't go backwards. Because xorg-x11 has been so thoroughly reorganized and modularized I have something like 134 blockers (individual packages!) which would have to be individually removed before I could back-version to my previous xorg-x11. So I'm stuck without a desktop system until I can get this figured out. Any solid advice will be very much appreciated. I'm going to try updating my kernel version. Maybe that will help. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | -- [email protected] mailing list
