Hi Pappy!
Any chance you wanna make a kernel config for my laptop for me. 
I'm already going nuts just with the kernel part of this... On my way to setting up the wifi that is.

Pappy McFae, at your service. Send the usual suspects, (lspci -n, cat /proc/cpuinfo, and /etc/fstab).

Apparently, xorg-server-1.7.x and nvidia-drivers don't work together at all. If you've already been hit with this, you will find it hard to get back to xorg-server-1.6.x. It took me a half-hour or so to figure it out and move backwards.
If you have updated, and now find you can't get back to xorg-server-1.6.x, do the following:
1. Add the following to your /etc/portage/package.mask file:
| Code: | >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.9
>=x11-libs/libX11-1.3.2
>=x11-libs/libXinerama-1.1
>=x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.1
>=x11-libs/libXext-1.1.1
>=x11-libs/libXi-1.3
>=x11-proto/xcmiscproto-1.2.0
>=x11-proto/xf86bigfontproto-1.2.0
>=x11-proto/bigreqsproto-1.1.0
>=x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.2
>=x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.1
>=x11-proto/fixesproto-4.1.1
>=x11-proto/inputproto-2.0
>=x11-libs/libXinerama-1.1
>=x11-proto/recordproto-1.14
>=x11-libs/libXtst-1.1.0
>=x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.2.0
>=x11-libs/libXScrnSaver-1.2.0
>=x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.3
>=x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.1.0
>=x11-apps/xinput-1.5.0
|
2. Enter this command: emerge -C inputproto fixesproto recordproto scrnsaverproto xf86vidmodeproto bigreqsproto xineramaproto xcmiscproto xextproto libXext libXi libXxf86vm libXtst libXScrnSaver xinput. This will clear these packages. If they aren't cleared, you will get file collisions.
3. Follow that with emerge -av inputproto fixesproto recordproto scrnsaverproto xf86vidmodeproto bigreqsproto xineramaproto xcmiscproto xextproto libXext libXi libXxf86vm libXtst libXScrnSaver xinput.
4. Once that is done, you can then emerge -av xorg-server. That will get you back to xorg-server-1.6.5.
5. Be sure to emerge $(qlist -IC x11-drivers) after you emerge xorg-server.
That should get you back to an xorg-server version that works with the nvidia cards. It worked once, and I used the /etc/portage/package.mask snippet to save bam-bam from the same situation.
If anyone knows when nvidia plans to correct this, please let me, and the rest of us know.
Blessed be!

 I have installed with Xserver 1.7.6 and it works harmony with nvidia.
It is solved by following packages after install new version of Xserver. X server log attached for your reference.

Thank you pappy_mcfae
You might also add libXinerama to your list (step2&3)- i had to unmerge and reemerge it due to dependencies and version conflicts |

Pappy, even at this late date (April), your post saved my tush, or at least my X. Thank you.
Added 4/12/2010: I also noted libXinerama needs to be unmerged as part of the process of getting back to xorg-server 1.6.5-r1. Also, mesa now needs to be masked >= 7.7.1 as it requires xorg-server >= 1.7.
I can see that I will have to be watching my updates more carefully than usual.

After all these months, is there still an issue upgrading to Xorg-server 1.7?
I don't want to break everything trying.

There is for me - all xorg 1.7 are still broken on my system. I'm still having to use 1.6.5.

For me, xorg-server 1.7.6 (with nvidia-drivers 195.36.15 and gentoo-sources 2.6.33) caused one freeze (Ctrl+Alt+F1 didn't respond) in 6 weeks of daily use. I tried to provoke it but I wasn't able to reproduce the freeze.
For 3 days so far, a combination of xorg-server 1.8.0, nvidia-drivers 195.36.24, and gentoo-sources 2.6.33-r1 has been running flawlessly.

What nVidia card model do you have? I have a GeForce 8800GT (G92 rev 162).

MSI GeForce 9600 GT, lspci says: "nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)"
BTW: the first time I tried xorg-server 1.8.0 I didn't notice the ebuild's warning that drivers need to be recompiled when you upgrade xorg-server. It finally worked after I reinstalled x11-drivers/* |

I tried today nvidia-drivers-195.36.24, xorg-x11-7.4-r1, xorg-server-7.4 and all my problems are now gone: X doesn't locks up anymore, games installed under Wine do work again and I no longer experience lags in UT2004! Phew! Due to the infamous libpng issue I've also had to recompile all installed packages (emerge -e world) but it was worth the pain, really...
EDIT: In fact, lockups were caused by service fbcondecor starting after XDM, I think (I won't try to verify it though  ). I have now disabled fbcondecor and X starts without locking up with the newest nVidia drivers. I just wonder why that problem was brought by versions >177  ...

I have been having trouble with the nvidia-drivers recently. I have a thread which chronicles my issues at the kde forums:
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=88028
The issue is that sometimes when I log into KDE, KDE will freeze until it detects an issue and disables compositing. I was using xorg-server-1.8.1 with nvidia-drivers-195.36.24. I tried upgrading to nvidia-drivers-256.29 and the problem persisted. I tried downgrading to xorg-server-1.7.7 and the problem persisted. I have now just downgraded my nvidia-drivers to version 190.53, which is the version I recall using before I tried the xorg-server 1.8.x upgrade and these issues started.
Does this sound like what you guys have been experiencing here or is it a completely different issue? |

That was too good to be true. My lockup problem is back.
I re-appeared progressively. Right after I found the interaction with fbsplash, the problem seemed to be cured. From time to time X happened to lockup while starting but it was systematically after a cold boot. It didn't on the next reboot. However I still experienced lockups from time to time and I guessed that was because XDM started too early. So I started XDM from local.start and it worked for a couple of days.
Now X doesn't start anymore without locking the whole machine again. Even running startx manually locks up everything too. I can no longer use my computer in graphical mode with Xorg.
I start suspecting a hardware problem but I have no clue. I'm not even sure this is the reason.

Any news since then? What about xorg-server-1.7.7-r1 and nvidia-drivers-195.36.24 with a 2.6.34-gentoo-r1 kernel?
Anyone has tested this configuration?
