 |
|
I'm trying to switch from nvidia-settings to nouveau on a very old system. Portage has been brought up to date (stable amd). I have re-emerged xorg-x11. /etc/make.conf contains the line VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau". The results of lsmod|grep nouveau are:
| Code: | biostar log # lsmod | grep nouveau
nouveau 1102618 1
wmi 7011 1 nouveau
video 12541 1 nouveau
drm_kms_helper 66941 1 nouveau
ttm 60334 1 nouveau
drm 226648 4 ttm,drm_kms_helper,nouveau
|
Xorg.0.log says: | Quote: | [ 338.201] (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 338.202] (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)

The full log is here: https://bpaste.net/show/80980b41d019
After emerge -auUvD @world, emerge @preserved-libs wanted to re-emerge nvidia-settings which I had unmerged, so I ran revdep-rebuild instead which rebuilt pango, gtkmm and a few other things but not nvidia-settings.
Kind of at a loss here.

Tony0945,
nouveau is in two parts. You have the kernel part, so you should get the nouveau framebuffer console.
| Xorg.0.log : | | [ 338.201] (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0) |
Did you overlook setting VIDEO_CARDS= ?

Emerging now. BTW, when i ran with "nv" I also had "modesetting" in my VIDEO_CARDS, but I don't have it on any of my other three machines, so I took it out. |

The emerge didn't fix the problem but this did. | Quote: | | emerge -1 --keep-going --autounmask-keep-masks $(qlist -IC x11-drivers) |
. Looking at the verbose output of "emerge xorg-drivers", I see I need to put modesetting et al back into video cards. The output of "qlist -IC x11-drivers)" is: | Quote: | biostar log # qlist -IC x11-drivers
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev
x11-drivers/xf86-video-modesetting
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
x11-drivers/xf86-video-v4l
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa

But, X is running, Mate is running, palemoon and xrandr are running.
Many thanks, Buffoon, Neddyseagoon and eccerr0r. Don't know why i couldn't fix this. I must have let my brain out somewhere down the road. |
