(Sorry if this seems like a lot of questions - I have a similar card at home, running flawlessly, but I need to know a little bit more)
Find out your kernel version by typing the following:
It's probably something like 2.6.15, or something...
then type
| Code: |
find /lib/modules/ -iname "nvidia"
|
And it will list the modules (if any) that are installed, and let you know WHERE they were installed.
Did your emerge complete successfully?
What version of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel are you emerging?
nvidia-kernel emerges the nvidial kernel MODULE (a little misleading, yes?), and nvidia-glx emerges (I'm guessing) the nvidia-specific GL implementation for X.
Also - you MUST have the kernel sources installed in order to emerge the nvidia modules (I think - I'm doing this all from memory...). In the /usr/src directory, there should be a bunch of directories (linux-<version>). cd to /usr/src, and then make a symlink from /usr/src/linux to the kernel version you're running. So.. if my kernel version is 2.6.16, I'd type:
| Code: |
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.16 /usr/src/linux
|
And then re-emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. The drivers look for your kernel options and configs in /usr/src/linux. I've forgotten to update my symlink in the past, and had the nvidia modules installed in the wrong directory.
