 Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2005 5:32 pm Post subject: another nvidia issue |
 |
|
| Code: |
# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r4/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
|
I emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and I have nvidia support in my kernel....
| Code: |
Device Drivers ---->
Graphics support --->
[x] nVidia framebuffer support
[ ] nVidia Riva support
|
Any idea why it won't load?

| the nvidia framebuffer support in the kernel and the nvidia driver clash, remove the framebuffer support and try again. |

Thank you. I thought about that, but couldn't find anything for sure. Maybe I should search harder 
I'll try again when I get home.
FYI, that fixed it.
but now I have another issue...
The module loads fine, an lspci gives me the card, etc
But, xorg will not start when I have nvidia set as the driver. It gives me an error similar to the following:
| Code: | (EE) NVIIDA(0): Cannot load NVIDIA modules
No screens founds
|
What cuases this?

| it'll probably just be a typo in your xorg.conf. go through it and if you can't see anything wrong then post it. there are a million and one resources around the internet to help you configure it though, so google will probably be your friend. |
