Go to the NVidia site, download the current release of their drivers, run the driver and follow the instructions of the readme to make it work, I tried NVidia support from portage, but found the installer from NVidia very useful and more easy... It will compile a module for you (if it can't find one). Point the xorg.conf as the readme says and you're done. (I have to do this every time I recompile the kernel, but that's not an operation you do every day).
In addition, it puts some extra commented flags at the xorg.conf that may help you. On 6/18/05, Chris Frederick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Can anyone give me a hand with this?
