I configured X, got the ugly xterm screen, did emerge nvidia-glx, emerge nvidia-kernel, modprobe nvidia, edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config file as listed & I get this message, changed the screen to all the different examples in the nvidia-glx-1.0.4496/ readme file here is the message:
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting'
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Logfile: "/var/log/Xfree86.0.log", TIME: Wed Mar 17 05:17:05 2004
(==) Using configfile: "/etc/X11/XF86Config
Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
Undefined Device "NV AGP" referenced by Screen "Screen"
(EE) problem parsing the config file
(EE) error from xf86HandlleConfigFile()
Fatal error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server "0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
The /var/log/Xfree86.0.log is the same as posted above
I also did opengl-update nvidia
I keep getting sooo close
Any suggestions?
Thanks |

Thanks for the reply KingTaco, I recompiled the kernel as you suggested & rebooted, but I have the same error message
Any other suggestions |

try this, try running xf86config again and making sure you have everything in it properly configured
What kernel version are you using?
What xfree version and window manager? _________________ 2.6Gig AMD Athlon XP - Chaintech 7njs - 512Mg kingston HyperX - 80Gig with Windows 40 Gig with Gentoo - GeForce4 - Toshiba DVD ROM & Plextor CDRW - Turbo Cool 350 - 7 Case fans running Gentoo Linux 2.6.4-rc1-mm1 |

I did as you suggested, now I get this line in the error message:
The VideoRam keyword requires a number to follow it:
I have "65536' typed in there, so I deleted the quotes and get this message now:
Undenfined Device "NVIDIA GenForce" referenced by Screen "Screen 1"
The GenForce was spelt with caps in the above listing, should be GenForce
I know we are close, something simple I am leaving out |
