Looking through the binary kernel config, I see that
Whereas in the gentoo wiki for nvidia-drivers it states:
| Code: |
KERNEL Enable IPMI message handler (CONFIG_ACPI_IPMI)
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
[*] IPMI top-level message handler
|
So should CONFIG_ACPI_IPMI be compiled in?
Additionally, the gentoo wiki also states:
| Quote: |
For x86 and AMD64 processors, the in-kernel framebuffer driver conflicts with the binary driver provided by NVIDIA. When compiling the kernel for these CPUs, completely remove support for the in-kernel driver as shown.
KERNEL Disable support for the in-kernel driver (CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA, CONFIG_FB_RIVA)
Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
Frame buffer Devices --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices --->
< > nVidia Framebuffer Support
< > nVidia Riva support
Now make sure the nouveau driver is disabled:
KERNEL Disable support for the nouveau driver (CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU)
Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
< > Nouveau (nVidia) cards
|
In the binary kernel, CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA and CONFIG_FB_RIVA are not set, does anyone know their defaults or how I can tell if they were compiled in?
I can also see that
| Code: |
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m
|
So, does the solution look I need to move away from the binary kernel and compile with the appropriate settings? |

Those are for cards so old that I doubt there are any left in use, so don't enable them.

Gentoo-kernel-bin should be suitable for running nvidia binary driver.
Just for any case try this:
| Code: | | echo nouveau >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf |
and reboot.
It can't hurt.

Oh. Also listed 3D controller. (I was wrong that the ID for these cards was 0301 it is 0302.) It's listed that way, since it has (like the Tesla crads) no Output itself. (The picture is actually patched through to the output of the Intel iGPU of the CPU.) So without an own output it is technically not VGA-compatible and therefore not listed as that.
I will keep that in mind and ask in the future for '::03xx' or 10de::03xx witch includes any Display controller. Tot only these with actual outputs. |
