I can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I have a nvidia card (GeForce FX
5200) and I managed to launch the X server with the nv driver. When I
try to use the nvidia driver, the server aborts, complaining about not
finding a usable screen section.
The following file is the one that works (with nv). To try nvidia, I
made two changes: Load "glx" (instead of dri) and nvidia (as driver)
instead of nv. Something is missing... (Didn't change identifiers and
such.)
I emerged nvidia/kernel and nvidia-glx for good measure, issued "modprobe
nvidia",
modules-update, openglx-update nvidia...
Kernel is 2.6.13-gentoo-r3.
