The one time I got the error you got after updating the drivers was when I forgot to remove the old running module and insert the new one before starting X. Reading what you wrote about updating everything, it does sound like you did everything right but something's not quite catching. When I do this procedure, I first do the lsmod and see all modules in the list, then rmmod nvidia and lsmod again, just to check visually that the nvidia module is actually gone. And only then do a modprobe nvidia. Maybe you *think* you removed the old module but it's still hanging around. I would get out of X, rmmod nvidia, do emerge -C nvidia-drivers-* to remove the old nvidia versions, and then do emerge nvidia-drivers-*, lsmod to check no nvidia drivers loaded, and do modprobe to load the new module. True, Portage should take care of the emerge -C operation, but it's something to try as a measure of desperation, I suppose. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
