I am thorougly confused: things must be moving very quickly with xorg |
2 |
7. I hope my jumping in here will not further confuse the issue. I |
3 |
have found various descriptions of the roots of the problem, and |
4 |
various solutions involving masking different combinations of |
5 |
packages. I had decided to drop back to "xf86-video-nv. |
6 |
|
7 |
Neil, you have masked |
8 |
>=f86-video-nv-1.1.2 |
9 |
|
10 |
Wow. |
11 |
|
12 |
I have been having another problem that I'm uncertain would belong in |
13 |
this thread: I got rid of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx altogether, |
14 |
much to my regret because they are faster. Now when I emerge -uDv |
15 |
world, the system wants to pull these in again. I have traced the |
16 |
problem, unbelievably, to xine-libs: my ebuild required some USE flag, |
17 |
I think. |
18 |
In /usr/portage/media-libs/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.1.2_pre20060606-r3.ebuild |
19 |
I find: |
20 |
IUSE_VIDEO_CARDS="video_cards_nvidia video_cards_via video_cards_i810" |
21 |
|
22 |
Thus I have two more questions: |
23 |
|
24 |
1. Is this the ebuild that is pulling nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx |
25 |
back in? (I already unmerged nvidia-settings). |
26 |
|
27 |
2. Is it even possible to run nvidia-kernel? Is the "nv" driver |
28 |
all that bad, or is it possible to get it to work decently with |
29 |
opengl? Is it possible to work with new nv drivers? |
30 |
|
31 |
Also, there is the parameter in /etc/make.conf: |
32 |
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" |
33 |
Should this be dealt with? I did this when following a howto about |
34 |
migrating to modular xorg. |
35 |
|
36 |
I apologize for crashing this thread, especially if somehow I have |
37 |
misunderstood. |
