 |
|
Hello,
I just installed Gentoo  . I went through all the 3 stages. Then I installed the nvidia-kernel and GLX-driver for my Riva TNT2. When I uncomment glx in my XF86Config file and set the driver to "nvidia" instead of "nv" (and load the module of course) I don't get past the Nvidia-logo, but when I comment glx again, it starts also with the logo but without GLX is suppose.
Is this due to a misconfiguration of my kernel, or doesn't a riva TNT2 supports GLX (I think it should.)
If somebody knows, let me know
Kind Regards,
A belgian Gentoo User |

RTFM
;)
Does anyone know why this isn't linked to on the Gentoo documents page? Seems something stupid to leave out...
Think I'm going to file a bug. |

I RTFM before this post
The problem was, last week I did a stage3 install an had no problems at all installing those nvidia drivers. Today I made an install from scratch and took another kernel to compile. Because TFM didn't help at all I justed recompiled the kernel again but with only one option changed:
GENERAL SETTINGS > SYSTEM V IPC = yes (Was to much in a hurry I must have overlooked it)
And now I got passed the logo and didn't find a signal11 in the logfile. Perhaps you could mention that also in your copy of the NVIDIA copied help page aka your FM
Kind regards,

I don't know if that's of any help. I had a similar problem and had to fiddle with AGP settings - make sure they're enabled in the kernel. |
