 Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2004 3:27 am Post subject: Nvidia module seems to not see my hardware |
 |
|
I have a geforce4 ti 4200:
| Code: | #lspci
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200] (rev a3)
|
and i have the nvidia-kernel module installed:
| Code: | *#emerge -s nvidia-kernel
media-video/nvidia-kernel
Latest version available: 1.0.5336-r4
Latest version installed: 1.0.5336-r4 |
I can load the module just fine:
| Code: | #modprobe nvidia
#lsmod
Module Size Used by
nvidia 2076904 0
#dmesg
0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 18:29:26 PST 2004 |
But, when I try to start Xorg it fails, complaining:
| Code: | (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available. |
What the devil is going on here! |

Do you have media-video/nvidia-glx installed? It and media-video/nvidia-kernel need to be of the same version, as well.
