I have the latest Gentoo on a dual PIII 450, i440 chipset, GeForce2 MX video card. I am not new to linux, and this is my second Gentoo system. I am , however new to 3D drivers in linux, and I want to play my retail UT2K3 on my Gentoo box!!! Yes, I have X working flawlessly (without glx or nvidia drivers). I am using the latest gentoo-sources kernel, and I am up to date with emerge -u world and etc-update.
I follow the Gentoo Desktop Docs to the letter: -I have X configured already (and running WindowMaker) -emerge nvidia-glx, no prob -emerge nvidia-kernel, no prob -edit XF86config to load glx and use driver "nvidia" -now, I cannot startx! -if I change my Xconfig back to no glx and "nv", X boots fine. SO on IRC someone tells me to run it with ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~x86" mask. so, I unnmerge them both, set that, and emerge them again. This time I get a no MTRR in kernel error. So, I rebuild kernel (from scratch, clean tree, delete old bzImages in /usr/src/..../1386/boot and in /boot, just to make sure!) This time with MTRR support in the config. mv new kernel to /boot/bzImage, reboot to get it in memory...unmerge glx and nv driver, set ACCEPT KEYWORD, and emrerge again. I STILL GET THE MTRR Error! I have rebuilt my kernel twice now just to make sure MTRR is in there. Please help me! The only reason I build this box was to play Unreal, I dont want to have to rely on M$ anymore!!! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
