 |
|
Hi, got some problems getting my nvidia video card to run, so I thought I wouldn't be the only one with this probleme.
emerging nvidia-glx did not work, since I came from XF86 to Xorg
| Code: |
# emerge -pv nvidia-glx
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-x11 ("virtual/x11" from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5)
[blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-x11 (from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5)
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3 [1.0.5336-r3] 0 kB
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 -3dfx -3dnow -bindist +cjk -debug -doc -ipv6 -mmx +nls +pam -sdk -sse -static +truetype +xml2 16,984 kB
[ebuild N ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496 0 kB

But that seems to be alright, so I emerged nvidia-kernel... without problemes.
Now I changed the value "nv" to "nvidia" in my xorg.conf like the howto says, here is a part of my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200"
Driver "nv"
#Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 131072
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
Option "NvAGP" "1"
EndSection
|
so here I changed nv to nvidia, after that I modprobed nvidia and addicted it to the modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Works fine until now, here my probleme:
When I use "opengl-update" it always shows me the help, no matter if the parameter is "nvidia" or "LALALA", without parameter its showing the help to. The only thing working is "opengl-update xorg-x11" so that's what I did... if I try to start X now, the "module nvidia could not be found", if I change the value in xorg.conf back to nv, X works fine again...
I can kinda SMELL that there are thousands of people with the same probleme as me, but I can't find any thread about that topic T-T
so thx in advance @ all

you need to merge nvidia-glx. this is required and does work with X.org. what problem did you have installing it?

as you can see from my emerge -pv nvidia-glx, those packages from xorg seem to block the ones that would be emerged by emerging nvidia-glx.. the probleme here is that I didn't emerge nvidia-glx since my change to xorg, cause those packages from xorg block them... don't really wanna try to get rid of this packages..but should I?

you should be trying to merge version 1.0.5336 of nvidia-glx, so that it matches your nvidia-kernel. if the blocking problems still do not go away, merge with --nodeps.

Now everythings fine (nearly..) thx to you, --nodeps worked for me 
So opengl_update works and this thread can be closed 
My new probleme is the black screen on starting X with the nvidia driver (not nv by xorg), seems to be a problem with nforce2, no idea how to fix this, already tried a lot of stuff wich seemed to work for some people
