 |
|
My nVidia X refuses to start on boot.
I have to log in and rmmod/modprobe the nvidia module and then restart xdm and then it will start.
Module nvidia is loaded but unloading and reloading it kicks it in to action.
Edit: I found the following error message in /var/log/messages
| Code: | Feb 6 09:51:14 lyalls-pc kernel: vmap allocation for size 16781312 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
Feb 6 09:51:14 lyalls-pc kernel: NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0xffffffff:1040)
Feb 6 09:51:14 lyalls-pc kernel: NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed
|
I tried having nvidia listed in /etc/modules/autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and I also tried not listing it, to no avail.
My kernel is | Code: | Linux lyalls-pc 2.6.35-gentoo-r12 #5 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 5 09:56:48 CST 2011 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Suggestions as to what I have wrong would be welcomed.
My existing module list is...

hi
for sure your settings does load the nvidia-module with different options as you did with modprobe manually.
if the module is loaded before xdm starts, what else could it be.....
| Code: |
emerge --info nvidia-drivers
|
would be interesting
btw. is it necessary that you build your kernel with so many drivers as module?
and jesus, why you have build an x86-system? |

Problem solved.
After reading the | Code: | | /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-260.19.36/README.bz2 |
document, the problem was identified in there and I needed to add a option to my grub conf. (192M was pulled out of the air).
My grub entry is now
| Code: |
title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/md2 video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32@75,mtrr:3,ywrap fbcon=scrollback:64K vmalloc=192M
|
Edit: Why x86 system? I only have 4G of memory, no point in going 64 bit till I have more memory - which I don't need, at this stage. Additionally, this is an old system, I upgraded motherboards, etc, but the install itself is years old.
