So, I went back to a version that it claims is supported. I have to say tho, the nvidia site wasn't very helpful. The messages when emerging nvidia-drivers was a lot more help. That said, it does load the drivers. They are listed with lsmod. Given the kernel is on my main rig, it's harder to test since I don't reboot often. At some point, I may start a thread about it if a update or something doesn't fix it. After all, current kernel is working just fine. > > I just thought it worthwhile to follow this problem since it might help or give clues on things to look into.

So assuming I understand your situation, you built nvidia-drivers to work with 6.1.55 - but got no GUI. The build told you it might not work and it didn't. You went back to an earlier kernel and it does work. I don't think you shared what NVidia card is in this machine, and I don't think you shared what version of NVidia drivers worked with the old kernel and what version didn't work with the new kernel? - Mark
