Well, bit to little info there.
Did you check the usual suspects in kernel config (and kernel command line) ? |

Hi VoidMage, i am not sure what are the "usual suspects"?
a bit more kernel config, if that helps:

It's probably best that you make set video drivers as modules rather than built-in. Especially when you are building with Intel drivers also from some reason. It's a waste of space to have stuff loaded that will never be used.
You probably need to check and see what framebuffer device driver is initially being used. The nouveau driver will fail to load with almost anything other than VESA VGA used as the initial framebuffer device driver.

i have disable the intel drivers, and make nouveau a module
| Code: | < > ATI Radeon │ │
│ │ <M> Nouveau (nVidia) cards │ │
│ │ (5) Maximum debug level │ │
│ │ (3) Default debug level │ │
│ │ [*] Support for backlight control │ │
│ │ < > Intel I810 │ │
│ │ < > Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics │ │
│ │ < > Matrox g200/g400 |
but when i tried to load the nouveau module, i got
| Code: |
[ 4.949564] nouveau: Unknown symbol wmi_evaluate_method (err 0)
[ 4.949582] nouveau: Unknown symbol wmi_has_guid (err 0)
|
i already have
| Code: |

|
enabled... |

It looks like you possibly did not install the new kernel after building it.
Verify with "uname -a" (build date and time) that you are running the kernel you think you are. |

strange... the timestamp in "uname -a" is not correct...
| Code: |
Linux localhost 3.14.14-gentoo #1 SMP Sun Aug 17 17:07:56 CEST 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
|
but i have been compiling the kernel many time these days...
| Code: | localhost ~ # ls -lrth /boot/
