 |
|
That's using a 2.4.28-gentoo-r9 kernel
Everything works fine when "nv" is used. When I change that one line in xorg.conf to "nvidia," it bombs out with this error:

(EE) no devices detected.
Fatal server error: no screens found.

This is quite baffling, because I didn't change anything else... |

| Yup. I pretty much have followed the Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide. Everything was fine until I needed to modify xorg.conf. |

What is you config file: XF86config or xorg.xonf?
Be sure that X11 uses the one you think it does.
And plz post your config file and lsmod output |

I'm using xorg.conf, specifically this one http://www.phacochere.com/dell/gentoo/xorg.conf because I have a Dell 9300, with the 6800.
I'm also running WinXP with a VMWare install. I'm pretty sure that it's using xorg.conf because I had other issues before getting this one that were resolved by editing xorg.conf. |

run
you will see X11 log files. look into the latest. you will very verbose description of what's going on.
to be sure, delete them and restart X and look again |

Comment out (or remove) the bit in the Devices section of xorg.conf that says:
ChipSet (name of graphics card)
It worked for me, anyway (I was having the same problem) |
