have fresh gentoo install, self compiled. But i have very seriously problem with X Windows After starting X with nvidia drivers (5336 version) i see black screen, and my system is hanging up. It not responding on nothing, i mus power off my computer. When using nv drivers or vga generic, after startx i see black screen and sometimes red pixel. I isn't wrong settings of horizontal/vertical frequency. I have iiyama lcd 17" and i set it like on technical details - Horizontal 24,8 . 80 KHz, Vertical 56 - 85 Hz. After adding Modeline "1280x1024@60" 114.98 1280 1312 1744 1776 1024 1045 1055 1076 it is still nothing. I switch monitors to LG 17" and nothing.
My kernel is 2.6.5 (with end without framebuffer is still nothing). My graphic card is geforce 5600 ultra.
Please help. I have gentoo on radeon 7500 and works great, but i have no idea what do with this

logs show nothing no errors, nothing - all "great". With nv drivers my system don't hang up, after startx and black screen with "lovely" red pixels i can switch to console and simply kill it. But when i switch to nvidia drivers system is off I emerge xorg - still the same.

Do you have a mainboard with a SiS AGP Bridge Chipset?

I also had a similar issue, the machine would freeze up a few minutes after running apparently fine. Turns out I got bit by my own lazyness - my K7 did not like running X11 + Nvidia driver with a P2 kernel... Compiling a k7-optimized kernel solved the problem. (2.4.25)
