Configuring your NVIDIA Card
If you happen to have an NVIDIA card, now would be a good time to install the NVIDIA accelerated drivers.
Note: If you recompile your kernel, you must also recompile nvidia-kernel. This has to be done because the new kernel build will delete your nvidia modules.
Code Listing 2.10: NVIDIA owners only
# emerge nvidia-glx
# emerge nvidia-kernel
# nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config
(Change "nv" to "nvidia" in the Device section)
# modprobe nvidia
Note: If you are using a kernel version other than 2.4, replace 2.4 with that version.
Code Listing 2.11: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 (NVIDIA owners only)
# nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
(We will add the following line to the file.)
nvidia
Code Listing 2.12: Enabling GLX in /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Module"
# This loads the GLX module
# Load "glx" (Uncomment this line)
Code Listing 2.13: Tell X to use the NVIDIA driver in /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce"
#Driver "nv"
Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 32768
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
Code Listing 2.14: Enable 3D Acceleration
# opengl-update nvidia
Run startx one more time to make sure that X still comes up (this time with the NVIDIA splash screen, if you have installed the nvidia drivers).
Note: If you run into problems with X, consult the glx documentation in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.XXXX/README.gz. There are many configuration variables which may affect your systems performance.
