Can someone give me some guidance with regard to setting up xorg-x11-7.0-r1 to |
| 2 |
work with my Gainward GeForce 4 video card? Everything was working just fine |
| 3 |
with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 but after an emerge, X refuses to run! I get the |
| 4 |
following complaint in my Xorg.0.log file: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! |
| 7 |
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** |
| 8 |

I've tried installing (unstable) nvidia-drivers and nvidia-legacy-drivers, but |
| 10 |
the kernel complains about an invlaid kernel module. I get the same error if I |
| 11 |
use the (stable) nvidia-kernel module. My current kernel version is |
| 12 |
2.6.15-gentoo-r1. I can't go backwards. Because xorg-x11 has been so |
| 13 |
thoroughly reorganized and modularized I have something like 134 blockers |
| 14 |
(individual packages!) which would have to be individually removed before I |
| 15 |
could back-version to my previous xorg-x11. |

So I'm stuck without a desktop system until I can get this figured out. Any |
| 18 |
solid advice will be very much appreciated. |

I'm going to try updating my kernel version. Maybe that will help. |
