1 After a few sleep cycles, I sorted out the problems.
2 Here are the notes I've made for the future :
3
4 NVidia vs Nouveau :
5
6 NVidia : (1) use non-Nouveau kernel ;
7 (2) emerge with 'linux' symlink pointing to current kernel ;
8 (3) 'nvidia-eg.conf' must be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ cont :
9
10 Section "Device"
11 Identifier "Device0"
12 Driver "nvidia"
13 Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
14 Option "NoLogo" "True"
15 Option "DynamicTwinView" "False"
16 EndSection
17
18 (4) 'eselect opengl set nvidia'.
19
20 Nouveau : (1) 'emerge xf86-video-nouveau' ;
21 (2) use Nouveau kernel :
22
23 Driver -> Graphics -> <*>DirectRenderingMgr [Y]
24 <*>NouveauCards [Y] ;
25
26 (3) move 'nvidia-eg.conf' out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ;
27 (4) add '10nouveau.conf' to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ containing :
28
29 Section "Device"
30 Identifier "Card0"
31 Driver "nouveau"
32 EndSection ;
33
34 (5) 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11'.
35
36 HTH others.
