Nvidia 6106 drivers:XFree86-no device found-Here we go again

[ck42]

Had a working setup with the 5336 drivers.

emerged the 6106 drivers and am back to the No Devices Detected crap.


I've since recompiled 2.6.7-mm4 and enabled 4k stacks (just because I now can

no luck.

var/log/XFree86.0 gets as far as

II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
(II) VGA: Generic VGA driver (version 4.0) for chipsets: generic
(II) DUMMY: Driver for Dummy chipsets: dummy

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(EE) No devices detected.

and quits.

lspci shows:

for the card....which is correct.

not sure if posting my XFree86 file would be helpful since it all worked fine with the 5336 drivers.

I'm stuck...all the usual fixes for this problem haven't helped thus far.

Here is a shot in the dark: Try adding 'nvidia' to your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. I had to do this a few weeks back when upgrading my nvidia drivers.
I've only had 'nvidia' in my XFree86.conf before, but after that upgrade I needed to have it in the modules.autoload too.

I'm not shure if this helps you, but...

[placeholder]

Have you did...

Pwnz3r:

I did a modprobe nvidia for sure.....tho, I didn't do a rmmod nvidia.
But for now, I went ahead and have done this.

Wolven, I went ahead and added 'nvidia' to that file. After I finish compiling something, I'll try firing up X again with the nvidia driver. thnx

No go. I'll get my XF86Config file up in a minute.

Under Section "Device" you should change

[ck42]

...........yes, yes. I know. I am simply using the nv driver to be able to actually load X for right now.

As for the 'NoLogo' location, it works.
