Trust me this time :) |

You don't have nvidia devices |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
/dev/nvidia0 |
| 6 |
/dev/nvidiactl |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
unofrtunately they are not created automatically withthe new kernel |
| 9 |
(although some reports vary), and you have to do it manually. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
There is a lot of discussion on that in gentoo forums. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Some nvidia-kernel packages contain /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh |
| 14 |
script to run, if not you can do it by hand |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
cd /dev |
| 17 |
mknod nvidia0 c 195 0 |
| 18 |
mknod nvidiactl 195 255 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and then set ownership to root:video nad permissions to 666 or 660 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Unfortunately, you will loose them on reboot unless you run udev with |
| 24 |
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
if so you can create like /etc/init.d/nvidia and put it in boot level. |
