It was working before on my red hat ... for this graphic card. And I am using gentoo for more than 10 months on my laptop so I am no completly a noob...

Anyway when I use the nv driver it's ok but when it's nvidia .... Huge crach black screen keyboard dead etc ... And just reboot to do... and there is no log to help (*sic*)

I use

Code:

bash-2.05b# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
nvidia               2075464  -
8139too                20260  -
via_rhine              18156  -

bash-2.05b# emerge -p nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r4
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.5336-r2




What ? Does a different release version can make everything crach ?

If you need I can give my xorg.conf because between working and crashing I just had
load "glx"
Driver "nvidia"


Anybody?

The versions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel which portage want's to emerge are correct, so that's not the problem. But what could be the problem is your current kernel, is it a dev-sources version 2.6.9 (i.e. gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r1)?

Because if so, you need to make some changes in the kernel source in order to fix the nvidia problem, see:

Although this topic seems to describe a bit different bug, I had the same problem as you did, and the solution above solved mine.

It work now ...

I just switch to 61.11 Nvidia kernel & glx

And I had that :
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
in the card's device section...
