No, AFAIK, only the open source "nv" frame buffer (FB) driver can't work |
34 |
together with the driver from Nvidia. You can have another (e.g. VESA) |
35 |
FB support along with the proprietary driver. |

37 |
Have you re-emerged "nvidia-drivers" after you recompiled the kernel? |
38 |
If you use binary storage for the compiled packages, remove the |
39 |
nvidia-drivers from there before emerging. I had such a problem: |
40 |
portage extracts the backup package without really rebuilding the |
41 |
driver (perhaps because it sees the same versions and USE flags). |
42 |
|
43 |
So, you could try: |
44 |
|
45 |
rm $PORTDIR/packages/All/nvidia* |
46 |
emerge nvidia-drivers |
47 |
eselect opengl nvidia |
48 |
|
