Subject: [gentoo-user] nvtv Seg Faults After 'emerge -uvD world'
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 14:13:17
Message-Id: 4326DCF7.70509@mykitchentable.net
1 I'm running a 2.6.11-r6 kernel on a box whose main purpose is MythTV.
2 Everything was working fine until I did an upgrade using 'emerge -uvD
3 world' followed with 'revdep-rebuild'. Now nvtv seg faults when I first
4 attempt to run it. Additional attempts result in this error message:
5
6 Fatal: Cannot access video cards. Either you are not root, or the
7 NVidia devices are not accessible.
8
9 I get the same message when attempting to run as root.
10
11 I've tried removing and reinstalling both nvtv and nvidia-kernel but no
12 joy. I'm new to Gentoo and Linux but do have a bit of a *nix background
13 with FreeBSD. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly
14 appreciated.

16 Thanks,
