1 On AMD64 system with an MX 4000 video card.
2
3 I have made it through an installation, installing everything from the
4 Packages (GRP) disk. This has been a no-net install so far.
5
6 Trying to configure Xorg, after installing nvidia-kernel driver and
7 nvidia-glx.
8 Xorg -configure
9 then
10 X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
11
12 I also did "modprobe nvidia"
13
14 I am receiving the message
15
16 (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
17
18 Then the process aborted.
19
20 I haven't found (yet) any suggestions, except to install a newer version of
21 the nvidia-kernel.
22
23 I fear I will have to upgrade the whole system now, once I can get online,
24 which may be days away.
25
26 Thanks for any suggestions.
