 Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2004 4:42 pm Post subject: emerge nforce* fails and so does nvidia |
 |
|
after taking a long time to finally get the installation going, I'm having troubles with my sound card. i'm using gnome 2.6 and in the top right corner there's a red line over the volume button, because it cannot find /dev/sound/mixer
I've tried using emerge nforce-audio and neforce-net and neither of them work, however, since 3c59x works, i don't care that the nforce driver won't work for my internet. I would, however, really like to have sound =)

ALSO, I cannot load the nvidia omdule correctly. I emerge nvidia-kernel and it compiles correctly. when i try to use
modprobe nvidia i get
| Code: |
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.7-gentoo-r11/video/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format
|
and I cannot load it to the autoload.conf or whichever that file is, I can't remember.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried look at the Nvidia Howto listed under the Desktop page here at gentoo, but am stuck. Thanks for your time

| you don't need the net and audio packages if you run a 2.6 kernel |

blippy,
Build ALSA support in the kernel - as modules.
Choose the Intel-8x0, nForce ... driver and OSS emulation if you really need OSS.
There's a Gentoo ALSA guide somewhere.

blippy,
Since you used genkernel, its only a matter of setting up
/etc/modules.d/alsa and running modules update. Heres mine:-
| Code: | # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.1 2003/08/05 21:07:55 johnm Exp $
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel-8x0
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
# alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
# alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
# alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
# alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
# alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
# alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
# alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
# alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1 |
That should load all the modules you need to make ALSA work.
You need to get a few other emerges. Follow the ALSA set up guide.
One last gotcha. All sound is muted by default.
