nvidia Undefined Device

[Binabik]

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

(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,

Fatal error:

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

sounds like you need /dev/agpgart support in your kernel. try to compile it as a module.

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

[Visseroth]

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?

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

[Gavrila]

NVIDIA GeForce

not


NVIDIA GenForce

[Binabik]

Gavrila, that was it I had left the "N" out
KingTaco, you put right on track, just my spelling was out

Thanks to the both of you, great forum

Now to emerge kde

Thanks again
