Hi,
Did you upgrade your kernel in the recent emerge? Do a 'ls -la /usr/src' to
check that the symb-link is pointing to the current kernel. Otherwise a
recompile of nvidia-kernel will produce a module for the wrong kernel
version.
Yes, I upgraded my kernel and my /usr/src/linux link is proper. I used the
stable version of nvidia-kernel and it didn't work. dmesg says this:
nvidia: Unknown symbol remap_page_range
nvidia: Unknown symbol pci_find_class
So I upgraded to the unstable nvidia drivers, and ran 'eselect opengl set
nvidia' which allowed me to start the X server, at least, with the nvidia
driver running.
Now gnome won't run, although I can start a kde session. I get the following
when I run startx as my normal user:
Bonobo accessibility support initialized
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
** ERROR **: Accessibility app error: exception during registry activation from
id: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0
As far as gnome is concerned, updating expat from 1.9 to 2.0 breaks a
lot of packages. (it can be fixed with a temporary symlink though),
e-d-s also breaks the clock panel applet.
If revdep-rebuild is giving you hard time, it's possible you haven't run
emerge --depclean in a while. You may have some "cleaning" to do. Check
out your world file (/var/lib/portage/world) and see if you need
everything in there as a world dep.
I did this a couple weeks ago and updating to a newer xorg and seamonkey
caused very little problems.
