 Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 11:09 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Nvidia Kernel Issue |
 |
|
Since I can't fit it all into the title, the problem is best summarised thusly:
When I try to run 'startx', I receive the output 'failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)'. When I try to run 'modprobe nvidia', I get 'FATAL: Module nvidia not found'. When I try to run 'emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers', I get the following error:
'"Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CROSS_COMPILE=${CHOST}- LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}";'
The information I'm told to include with this error report from the output of 'emerge nvidia-drivers' can be found at:
paste.pocoo.org/show/322971/
paste.pocoo.org/show/322972/
paste.pocoo.org/show/322973/
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and help me out, and my sincere apologies for making you read a forum post written in links.
