Hi,

I finally got X working with the latest nvidia.o driver. kdm loads and KDE works fine. There are a couple things that bother me:

1) I can't ctrl-alt-F1 out of X, I get a black screen. (it's there and I can blindly log in)
2) If I kill X, the screen goes black and never comes back, I can blindly type at my terminal
3) mplayer kills X and the screen goes black, same thing.

I plugged my TV in my tv-out port and I realized the screen isn't black, it's switched to my TV output only. Problem is, I don't know why, and how to switch it back :)

Anyone noticed this weird thing ? I'm using latest X and nvidia drivers (built today).

Oh and opengl apps work fine I played unreal moments ago..

I just updated to 1.0.4349 and it fixed the problem.

Code:

$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx -p

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R  ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349
[ebuild   R  ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4349


Hope that helps :)
