I have installed gentoo completely from source code for the first time including the xfce4 desktop and mono (completing the four mono test examples).
I failed to successfully install the nvidia driver as described in the "Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide". This is the only item outstanding. Many thanks to all the developers who created this marvelous system.
The final end result is:
| Code: |
localhost ~ # modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r12/nvidia.ko): No such device
|
As a side issue nvidia.ko is in a sub-folder "video".
There is a qualifying video card:

I also tried to locate the directive in the BIOS "Assign IRQ to VGA is set" but was unable to locate it.
I have 4GB of RAM but the "write-back" in /proc/mtrr seems ok.
I am currently using the nv driver:
| Code: |
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.

My settings for the kernel are:
| Code: |
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y ##
CONFIG_MODULES=y ##
CONFIG_MTRR=y ##
CONFIG_AGP=y ##
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA is not set ##
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set ##
|
I dont think I need AGP.
I get confused by the Nvidia Guide as far as the sequence of actions required. Also I am new to gentoo and need guidance on how to proceed once I have screwed up.
I recompile the kernel then emerge nvidia-drivers then emerge xorg-server then modprobe nvidia.
Here is the emerge nvidia-drivers using module-rebuild rebuild:
| Code: |
localhost ~ # module-rebuild rebuild

kg2001,
| Code: | localhost ~ # modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r12/nvidia.ko): No such device |
Clearly shows that modprobe is looking in the wrong place. nvidia.ko is supposed to be in a video subfolder.
It appears that modprobes info hasn't been updated when the nvidia-drivers were emerged.
As a dirty hack, copy the nvidia.ko file to /lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r12/ so that at least its found. Thats not the right thing to do as it doesn't fix the issue with modprobe.

Many thanks for the reply. I should have added that I have tried copying nvidia.ko to the next folder up. It makes no difference to the error message.

You probably need to run depmod after manually manipulating modules.
Edit:
| Code: | echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ |
You have this error, I do not think your module is built correctly. |

Hi Jaglover. I am not certain what you mean "after manually manipulating modules". Do I need to run "make oldconfig && make prepare" then "depmod -a"? Is oldconfig the current /usr/src/linux/.config?
Thanks,

If you have kernel sources installed in /usr/src/linux and you used these sources to build your kernel then nvidia drivers should build and give you a working loadable module. I don't think this is happening.
Checklist.
Did you build kernel using sources where /usr/src/symlink points to?
Did you install this kernel properly, was /boot mounted (in case you have separate boot partition)?
Did you reboot using new kernel? |

Did you build kernel using sources where /usr/src/symlink points to?
When I run: "eselect kernel list" I have only one kernel:
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 *
Did you install this kernel properly, was /boot mounted (in case you have separate boot partition)?
My boot folder is included in the same partition as root:
After changing the flags in "make menuconfig" I then "make && make modules_install" then "cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12". I am not sure this is right.
Did you reboot using new kernel?
I have rebooted but I don't know if it used the re-compiled kernel with the flags in .config changed.
This is a totally new gentoo system. I have always used kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12. It has never been upgraded.
I re-run /sbin/lilo without a kernel name change after cp.
Regards,
Kevin |

This will tell you the time kernel image was built. |

| Forget the error I was pointing to, it's not a real one. Your problem is elsewhere. |

localhost ~ # lsmod
Module Size Used by
aic7xxx 96326 1
I don't think I tried nouveau although I wrote a note x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau & x11-base/nouveau-drm. It seemed to be unstable.
How do I list installed packages?
As a side issue I had aic7xxx in the kernel but couldn't get it to work (scsi drive missing). I changed it to a module and it worked?
I really would like to have nvidia as I will do some programming in mono & axiom3d.
Should I try another group?
Any other thoughts?
Regards,
Kevin |

I'm sure I did:
My settings for the kernel are:
Code:
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y ##
CONFIG_MODULES=y ##
CONFIG_MTRR=y ##
CONFIG_AGP=y ##
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA is not set ##
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set ##
I just checked again. Definitely not set. |

| I'm running out of ideas right now, just one long shot is left. Can you reduce your RAM under 3 GB and see if device not found error remains? BTW, what's the PCI ID of your card? |

Are the modules present? If they are how do I remove the nouveau ones?

Sorry, If this doesn't help, but have you edited /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ?
It may contain the nouveau driver. Otherwise, I don't know what could be going on.
Good luck,
Alan

I really do need to clean this up!
| Code: |
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.
# For example:
# aic7xxx
nvidia
|
With modules I seem to get erratic results?
Does this permanently remove modules?
| Code: |
localhost ~ # modprobe -rv nouveau
rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r12/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko
rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r12/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko

Is nvidia now loaded and running?
| Code: |
localhost / # /sbin/lilo
Warning: /dev/sda4 is not on the first disk
Added gentoo *
Added gentoo.rescue
One warning was issued.
|
Does it matter if /dev/sda4 is not on the first disk?
The reason these modules sprung out from nowhere was I changed parport / parport_pc to <M> and recompiled the kernel.
For all that my pc still can't see the parallel port. I still can't print on my old HP LaserJet6L.
I will try to emerge xorg-server????
Cheers,
Kevin |

Well I ran #emerge xorg-server so that "When you install the X Server, it will then install the right version of nvidia-drivers for you".
| Code: |
localhost / # qlist -I -C x11-drivers/
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
localhost / # env-update
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
localhost / # source /etc/profile
|
At present my X environment just uses hald and has no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The Gentoo nVidia Guide next proceeds to modify xorg.conf for nvidia??
I wonder if i should run Xorg -configure? as a starting point. Can nvidia utulise hal policy files?
Time to have a sleep!
Cheers,
Kevin |

Just a tiny note, I don't think you need nv in your make.conf now as it is, as far as I understand, the older version of nouveau. ;^^
And yes, you can/should/need(?) hal at least if using Xorg 1.7.7 or earlier. I see you have hal in your USE flags so it should be OK.
I used nvidia-xconfig instead of Xorg -configure or manual configuration and it works fine.
I think the only manual edit on it I have done is the "Coolbits" part at
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "Coolbits" "4"
|
to be able to adjust my fan speed...
Have a good sleep!

Many thanks Chiitoo,
Had much success today:
Removed anything in .config like CONFIG_DRM......
Re-compiled the kernel
For me confusion resulted from the Nvidia Guide cross linking with the X Server Configuration HOWTO.
KMS "You need to do this step regardless of which Xorg video driver you're using."
Did the writer mean "...which video driver made by Xorg you're using"?

You're most welcome, just glad I can be of help at least a little bit and it's good to see you have been successful!

I'm not really sure. It does speak of open source drivers in that part, so perhaps it's not needed by the proprietary nvidia-drivers, nevertheless, I do have the Framebuffer Console support enabled. Perhaps it is related to enabling high resolution CLI, I shall experiment with it shortly...

This one does not have a GUI built by default, but instead of a USE flag, it uses the option -enable-gui during ./configure and then the Gmplayer binary.
Look here for more info:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/gui.html
A lot of "GUIs" out there using Mplayer as a base (as far as I understand it), to name a few, Kmplayer, Gmplayer (Gnome-mplayer now?) and Smplayer.
I personally like Smplayer a lot. With most of them, it seemed very difficult or next to impossible to alter the amount of time you skip/rewind/fastforward and this really is unacceptable to me.
Smplayer, however, has it done very well and if you like the windows media player classic, you would probably like this one as well.
I would encourage you to experiment with them yourself and see which you like the most!
I hope this helps!
Edit:
Just did a quick test and indeed, without that Framebuffer Console support, I would get a black screen when trying to use high resolutions set by Grub.
Actually tried without VGA text console too, and that was even worse... as expected.
