 |
|
Hey peeps, I'm trying to setup my nvidia drivers as shown in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml. First off, I noticed that there is no "nvidia-drivers" port, I did an and found what I'm assuming is the equivalent, x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. So I emerged x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers and got some questionable output (mostly questionable cause I don't know what I'm doing  ):
| Code: |
Baleeted linux # emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

rm -f /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg0/usr/src/nv/.tmp_versions/*
WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
|
I cut off the rest for brevity. In the end it looks like it worked, no obvious error messages. But when I try to go further in the guide, specifically
| Code: |
# lsmod | grep nvidia && rmmod nvidia
# modprobe nvidia
|
I get this
| Code: |
Baleeted linux # lsmod | grep nvidia && rmmod nvidia
Baleeted linux # modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
|
I'm not sure what happened, but I'm guessing that the emerge didn't go as well as I thought it did. Please let me know what I can do to fix this. Thanks in advance!

Hello, first of all, can you output this command plz :
| Code: |
#cd /usr/src
# ls -la
|
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux
# ls -la
|
I think that your problem is this : Emerge doesn't find your .config file, or you have an invalide symbolic link. |

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Here's what you asked for:
| Code: |
Baleeted linux # cd /usr/src
Baleeted src # ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 26 08:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Feb 26 07:14 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 03:04 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 26 08:29 linux -> linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Feb 27 11:30 linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5

Good, your symbolic link point to the right kernel.
But, do you have a .config in /usr/src/linux ?
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
ls -la
|
Output the result. |

The ebuild complains if you don't have one and won't install (or it did as of last version of the drivers).
It looks like the module loader can't find the nvidia module... are you running the same kernel as is in your /usr/src/linux? |

I'm not entirely sure. How can I check?

Check the output of
The second line, where it says "System uname: ". If you are using the same kernel as you have in /usr/src/linux, go ahead an post the output from emerge --info here. If you are _not_ using the same kernel, go ahead and configure/build/install a new kernel from the sources in /usr/src/linux. |

Oh, looks like that might be it:
| Code: |
Baleeted ~ # ls /usr/src/linux
linux/ linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5/
|
| Code: |
Baleeted ~ # emerge --info
Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 i686)
=================================================================
System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz

| Yup, just go ahead and build and install the new one (2.6.19-gentoo-r5). After you build it, but before you reboot, you'll want to rebuild any packages with kernel modules, like nvidia-drivers, alsa-driver, etc., but that's about it. There's a section of the handbook that will tell you how to set up your new kernel if you're not familiar with it. |
