Hi again,
For those mot up to date. I built a new rig that has a Nvidia
GT220
card in it. I bought a brand new monitor this morning, a LG
W2253,
and
it worked one time. I had to reboot to move some things around
and
when
I rebooted, the GUI doesn't come up. The BIOS screen shows up and
I
can
see the services start up as well but when it switches to vt7, it
just
has a little blinking cursor at the top.
Have you changed the kernel? The nvidia-drivers (as well as the
ati-
drivers) have to be re-emerged after (nearly) any change to the
kernel.
Just re-emerge it, unload and reload the corresponding kernel
module
and try again to startx.
Helmut.
Just to make sure I understand you correctly. You mean:
cd /usr/src/linux
make all&& make modules_install
then cp the kernel to /boot ?
That I didn't try. I knew if I updated the kernel I had to re-emerge
the nvidia-drivers but I didn't know it was the other way around too.
No,
just emerge -1 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
(while the /usr/src/linux symlink is OK as others have mentioned
already)
Helmut.
(By the way, my x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.2.902 doesn't use hal anymore)
I upgraded to xorg 1.9 to while trying to fix all this mess. It wasn't
working before so I don't guess that hurts.
