Hi there! My english isnt very good. 
I was trying to install the nvidia driver reading the Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide.
I did everything it says. But, when i changed
Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia", and did `startx` i got this message:
| Code: |
(WW) NVIDIA: Chipset "GeForce FX 5200" in Device section "Card0" isn't valid for this driver.
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal errors:
no screens found
|
And X dont run. If i change the Driver back to "nv" it works.
Im a gentoo newbie , just finished installing it, and i would appreciate some help! 
Here is my xorg.conf

| Did you "emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx" ? Also, did you emerge opengl-update and run "opengl-update nvidia" ? Please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. |

| Remove the "ChipSet" and "Card" lines from the "Device" section of your xorg.conf. |

type lsmod to see if the nvidia module is loaded.
if not... modprobe nvidia && startx

I'm having the exact same problem with an GeForce4 MX 4000 Card.
I removed the "Chipset" and "Card" line items from the Device section of the xorg.conf file.
This fixed the problem for me.
Thanks!  |
