I still cannot get X to start with the nvidia drivers. However, I did take (someones?) suggestion and tried both the "vesa" and "nv" drivers and they both "work". I say "work" because with 'vesa', I get a HUGE (i.e. low rez) screen = unuseable. And with the 'nv' I get the right resolution 1600x1200, but I get horrible frame-rates (glxgears).
I tried to turn off the RenderAccel option with 'nvidia' but no joy. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 5:53 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] Modular Xorg 7 won't start with > nVidia GeForce4 440 Go > > Richard, I want to thank you for your trying to help me on > this first of > all... > > > Have you tried doing a revdep-rebuild? > > Yes.
