Hi.
Seems that it can't find your graphic card.
What does

I get this line for my GeForce4

In the kernel config have you enabled the
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
and
<M> NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support
If you do a
You se that it depends agpgart. |

Did you have the agpgart for nforce in the kernel ?
If not, did you recompile and installed the kernel?
If you do
is agpgart in the list.
If not can you modprobe agpgart. |

One more shot.
EDIT: Btw you don't have any nvidia framebuffers enabled in the video section.
They don't mix with the nvidia-kernel driver. You may use the svga-tng fb but not
any of the nvidia fb.
There is some issue with the nvidia driver and newer kernels.
are you running the 6629-r4 version?
If you are try the latest nvidia-kernel and glx
Make a file
| Code: | | touch /etc/portage/package.keywords |
put
| Code: |
media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86
media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
|
in that file.
Now emerge and you get the latest.
The one that i run. Looking at the changelog

I use them as im running a ~x86 system. |

CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=y
That is currently set. Suggested that the user Comment that out and rebuild the kernel. It isn't loading as a module it's built right in. He is testing this now. |

Ok. That is the problem. I think it would work now when the CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA
is out of the kernel. |

I get the same error trying to load the nvidia module. However, my kernel doesn't have the FB enabled like described above.
Edit:
My screen is off. The monitor says it's running the correct size (1680x1040, widescreen), Xorg.conf says the same thing, yet it is really ~85% showing on the screen. The driver can't show wide screen? It seems to have cut off the right side, so I have no clock or anything else that defaults to the right-side. I'm hoping once I use the nvidia driver instead of the nv driver that everything will fix itself. |
