Notes: |
| 40 |
"dri" was commented out in xorg.conf but uncommenting made no difference. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
$ls /usr/share/fonts |
| 43 |
default encodings ttf-bitstream-vera |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
and nothing in those dirs like those mentioned in (WW) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
yes, ran "eselect opengl set nvidia" after drivers were emerged. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
#nvidia-settings -V |
| 50 |
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run 'nvidia-settings --help' |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Is there an option I can pass to nvidia-settings to solve this, or |
| 53 |
should I look elsewhere? |
