Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia 6629 fail on 2.6.11.5

2005-04-02 Thread Stuart Howard 
Using the latest nvidia [1.0.7174] builds has done the trick, I can
use 2.6.11.5 and nvidia in X.
I will have to wait and see on stability I guess, thx for the help chaps.

ps. I had to fight with package.keywords for a while as the above
instruction returned an "invalid atom" response when attempting to
emerge, I found that the following syntax did the trick in the end.
media-video/nvidia-glx -*
media-video/nvidia-kernel -*

I dont see a workaround at the moment so am falling back to 2.6.10 for
a quiet life ;)
There is a workaround: Don't use the inbuilt kernel AGPGART. (the nvidia 
driver will install its own NvAGP driver instead)

Or, you could try the newer nVidia drivers in ~x86.


 mkdir /etc/portage
 echo nvidia-kernel ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 echo nvidia-glx ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx -vua

I dont see a workaround at the moment so am falling back to 2.6.10 for
a quiet life ;)

Pretty sure I saw a bug on bugs.gentoo.org about this, though now I
can't seem to find it.

I'd consider searching around at http://bugs.gentoo.org/query.cgi , use
the advanced search.
