[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers problem on xorg 1.6.3.901-r2

[Arnau Bria]

Hi all,

I've rebuild my xorg-server with no hal support, I've upgraded my kernel
to 2.6.30-r8 and rebuild "all" xf86 drivers/libs/proto packages:

# eix xf86|grep "^\[I\]"
[I] x11-apps/xf86dga
[I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
[I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
[I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
[I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
[I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
[I] x11-libs/libXxf86dga
[I] x11-libs/libXxf86misc
[I] x11-libs/libXxf86vm
[I] x11-proto/xf86bigfontproto
[I] x11-proto/xf86dgaproto
[I] x11-proto/xf86driproto
[I] x11-proto/xf86miscproto
[I] x11-proto/xf86rushproto
[I] x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto

Then, I use nvidia-xconf for geenrating my xorg.conf file and looks
like:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Simple Layout"
    Screen      0  "Screen 1" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Files"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
EndSection
Section "Module"
    Load           "extmod"
    Load           "freetype"
    Load           "glx"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard1"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "es"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse1"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "My Monitor"
    HorizSync       70.0 - 84.0
    VertRefresh     60.0 - 85.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "VGA"
    Driver         "vesa"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    BoardName      "Unknown"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen 1"
    Device         "VGA"
    Monitor        "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1280x1024"
    EndSubSection
EndSection


and when I start X, system goes really slow and I see some
errors/warnings in X log file:

# grep EE Xorg.0.log 
 to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
 to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
 to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)

# grep WW Xorg.0.log 
nConsole: setpgid failed: Operation not permitt
nConsole: setsid failed: Operation not permitte

0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000d478, 0x000002e4)

and a tail:

tail Xorg.0.log 
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024"

(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000d478, 0x000002e4)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized AGP GART


So i have to switch to vesa driver...

Anyone faced similar problem? how may I debug this problem deeply?
