Thanks for all the input on graphics cards last week.... can anyone now give me some pointers towards what I should be doing to get my nVidia GF3 running optimally..?
I've already emerged KDE & (of course) Xfree last week (when I still had my Matrox card), however I haven't configured them yet, as getting the framebuffer working was more interesting.
I am running the 2.6.2 gentoo-development-sources kernel & have emerged the nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r1 ebuild, but I don't really know what to do with that. A Google or a search on the forums for "nVidia Gentoo 2.6" brings many many results, but I haven't found anything like a simple HOWTO for idiots like me. Can anyone point me at one..?
The UT2003 LiveCD boots & plays on this system, so ideally I want to set things up "just like that", except with a 2.6 kernel.
I'm gathering that the nVidia binary drivers come as a kernel module which needs modprobing... is that what the nvidia-kernel ebuild has given me..?
Sorry for asking such dumb quuestions - I have attached some hopefully useful output about my current configuration below.
Stroller.
