I can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I have a nvidia card (GeForce FX |
| 2 |
5200) and I managed to launch the X server with the nv driver. When I |
| 3 |
try to use the nvidia driver, the server aborts, complaining about not |
| 4 |
finding a usable screen section. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The following file is the one that works (with nv). To try nvidia, I |
| 7 |
made two changes: Load "glx" (instead of dri) and nvidia (as driver) |
| 8 |
instead of nv. Something is missing... (Didn't change identifiers and |
| 9 |
such.) |
| 10 |
I emerged nvidia/kernel and nvidia-glx for good measure, issued "modprobe nvidia", |
| 11 |
modules-update, openglx-update nvidia... |
| 12 |
Kernel is 2.6.13-gentoo-r3. |
