hi to all. i am finalizing a fresh new gentoo installation. i'm having some |
| 8 |
problems with xorg and my nvidia geforce mx 440 card. i followed the |
| 9 |
instructions on the dedicated part of documentation on gentoo.org, and even |
| 10 |
tried the following commands as proposed by gentoo-wiki.com but i allways |
| 11 |
get |
| 12 |
the same error |

#emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx nvidia-settings |

| 18 |
#X -config /root/xorg.conf.new |

portage installed me diffferent versions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel |
| 45 |
(1.0.6629-r6 and 1.0.6629-r4) should i install the same version? are there |
| 46 |
newer versions available, or are these known not to work? right now i'm |
| 47 |
using |
| 48 |
the nv driver, and i have everything i need (kde) working, though i'd like |
| 49 |
to |
| 50 |
set up my nvidia card to its full capabilities |
| 51 |
thanks |

I'm ran into the exact same problem on a newly installed dual Opteron system |
| 53 |
yesterday. Basically it's a broken nvidia ebuild. There was a thread on this |
| 54 |
forum about this exact issue a couple of weeks ago. The "solution" is to |
| 55 |
emerge the masked versions of the nvidia-kernel. To see what versions are |
| 56 |
available you can: |
| 57 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -sv nvidia |
| 58 |
Then umask the specific version of the packages you want to use: |
| 59 |
#echo '=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 ~x86' |
| 60 |
>>/etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 61 |
#echo '=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1 ~x86' |
| 62 |
>>/etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Assuming your running x86 of course, otherwise replace "~x86" with the |
| 65 |
appropiate value for your arch. |
