 Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:44 am Post subject: Nvidia driver problem with AMD64 |
 |
|
Hi,
I've tried to install nvidia drivers version 1.0.6111 an 1.0.6629 on my amd64 machine it installs fine, but everytime I try to startx it gives me this error. I've tried with kernel 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 but it's the same.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia"
(Module doesn't exist,0)
(EE) No drivers avaiable
I've tried to make a modprobe nvidia and opengl-update nvidia but that give me the same error.
Something strange when I install 1.0.6629 from the run script instead of the build it work half it shows me the nvidia logo and after shows me crap on the screen.
Does anyone know how to solve this
thanks a lot

Try re-emerging nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx packages again. |

I just ran into this problem as well, after an emerge -uDv world. I've attempted to re-emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx with no success. /proc/driver/nvidia does exist and a modprobe does come back clean.
Thanks |

Hi,
had the same problem after upgrading from xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 to -r4.
Even remerging the old version didnt solve the prob.
The following thread was helpfull for me:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=272623&highlight=module+nvidia
I'm currently running xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 and i temporarily "fixed" the problem by adding
| Code: |
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
|
to the files section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
greetings,

(EE) Failed to load module "bitmap" (module doesn't exist,0)
(EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module doesn't exist,0)
Anyone have an idea ?

then you might try what is suggested in this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=272623&highlight=module+nvidia
Comment out the ModulePath part in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
And copy /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o to /usr/lib64/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o .
If this works please also post to the thread linked above.
I havent tried this yet as setting ModulePath works fine here.

What I did to solve this (after nearly an hour of re-emerging nvidia packages) was actually quite simple. :/
| Code: |
emerge sync
emerge x11-xorg
etc-update
(Replaced original with update for Xorg after noticing only minor additions)
|
This is where the trouble started and the nvidia module failed to load. So, like a happy trooper, re-emerge everything nvidia...
| Code: |
emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
opengl-update nvidia
|
Still no joy, so back to square one, xorg.conf...
That is when I noticed that the above mentioned lib path was hashed out, unhashed it, and BINGO! Never before saw it in a xorg.conf., but it works now.
:/

Hi again,
maybe this thread should be moved either to "Desktop Environments" or (even better i think) to "Gentoo on AMD64".
I posted in the following thread
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1928217#1928217
to let the one who started it know that he/she was not the only one having that prob and that the thread was very helpfull.
greetings,

| Think this is a bug? Should we add it to the nvidia-glx bug list? |
