no.

That has to be commented - or removed.

Read the docs. Read the nvidia readme.


Oops, my bad - I've never had an nvidia card, sorry.  Assumed it was the

Thanks for the suggestion, I already have this set to nvidia. Are

It's worth a try but it didn't work here.  For his sake, I hope it works
for him.  That emerge -e world takes a while.

Well, it must just be something X related then.  I noticed it started
working when the emerge got to the KDE stuff but there may have been
something small that I missed as it went by.

I ran into the same thing.  I ended up doing a emerge -ev world to fix
mine.  I just had someone else on the forums to do the same thing and it
worked for them as well.

It's a pain but it worked for me and the other person.  I personally
think it is something KDE but not kdelibs or the nvidia drivers.  I had

[gentoo-user] Nvidia+Xorg not allowing DRI.

Heyyas,

I'm running:
Xorg 7.0-r1
nvidia-kernel 1.0.8762
nvidia-glx 1.0.8762

I've followed the guide at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml with the following
exceptions. I'm using a kernel.org kernel not a portage kernel, and I
didn't make the "changes" regarding framebuffers because I don't
intend to use one.That whole bit is disabled in my kernel.

   X starts up fine and looks great, I get decent FPS from glxgears.
While following the above guide I get to this point "Code Listing
2.19: Checking the direct rendering status" and end up with this:

glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No

   My Xorg.conf follows:
##Start xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier "X.org Configured"
   Screen  0  "Screen[0]" 0 0
   InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer"

   Modes "1280x1024"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
   Group "video"
   Mode 0660
EndSection

##End xorg.conf

I've tried it both with and without this last stanza regarding
DRI. I tossed it in there for giggles since I needed it with my ATI
card. One thing I haven't ventured to yet is recompilin xorg. When I
compiled it I did have VIDEO_CARDS set to radeon. Will this effect
xorg working with nvidia cards? What would the proper VIDEO_CARDS
setting be for a geforce 6800?

   Any suggestions/comments are very welcome. Thanks muchly.,
