 |
|
Hello, so ive been using Gentoo for quite a while and realized that the NVIDIA drivers were not working. I tried nvidia-xconfig and it gave me the following output:
| Code: | Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Device section "Device0" must have a Driver line.
ERROR: Unable to find any GPUs in the system.
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original'
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' |
When i try nvidia-smi i get this:
| Code: | | NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running. |
However when i try modprobe nvidia i get this:
| Code: | modprobe: ERROR: could not find module by name='nvidia'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) |
I reinstalled the drivers but the same keeps happening, disabled nouveau and it still happens and nouveau still doesnt work after removing nvidia-drivers.
Should i just recompile my kernel?

The error output suggests you check dmesg. What does dmesg show after this fails? | QavaQo wrote: | I reinstalled the drivers but the same keeps happening, disabled nouveau and it still happens and nouveau still doesnt work after removing nvidia-drivers.

I see no reason to expect that recompiling the kernel would help at this time. Do you prefer to fix the nVidia proprietary drivers or do you want to switch to using Nouveau? |

Try with dmesg | grep -i nvidia (-i for case insensitive) command

with dmesg | grep -i nvidia i get this:
