 |

i install 2.6 and i install those package following the readme:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg0.run (nvidia)
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg#.tar.gz (minion.de)
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4496-2.6.diff (minion.de)
but i haven't be able to make it work and the nvidia-installer.log doesn't help me neither:

have you tried simply doing
| Code: | | emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx |
?
It automagically detects that you're using 2.6 and applies the minion patches for you.
Really, it works seamlessly. |

I got a similar problem: nvidia + 2.6 hates me 
This is my latest error:
| Code: | | glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
That little libGL.so.1 is ruin my day. I can't run X as a ordinary user, I have to be root - but when I'm logged in as root, I can start X without any problem. I can't do anything glx-related at all anymore....
If I try to do a emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx I get this:
| Code: | Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 2) media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg0.run
* Please verify that your /usr/src/linux symlink is pointing
* to your current kernel sources, and that you did run:
*
* # make dep
!!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3 failed.
!!! Function check_version_h, Line 42, Exitcode 0
!!! /usr/src/linux symlink not setup!
|
I suppose that error message has something to do with a not working linking of /usr/src/linux - but I've tried to change it myself now, but without any result....
I've read SOMETHING about this - but I can't find it again. I've searched the forums the entire afternoon, but I havn't come up with anything...

you have to set up /usr/src/linux as a symlink to /usr/src/*yourcurrentkernel*
so, if you're using kernel 2.6.0-test8, it should be pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test8
do this by deleting the existing symlink, and then putting the new one in
| Code: | rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test8 /usr/src/linux |
replacing 2.6.0-test8 with whatever your kernel is.
remember you need to remerge nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel.
ps- why can't you start x as a normal user? what happens? |

well, let's make a nice copy-paste from the XF86-log 
| Code: | Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! |
that's the entire issue. I have re-emerged xfree today, updated my entire system etc. etc., but still. it hates me.
If I can make my xmms work with alsa, I will try to emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, but I refuse to do this without any loud music in the background
ooh, btw, your tip about linking worked
I tried to relink using ln -sf and tried to overwrite my old link, but I didn't have any success at all.
wow...(this became a quite long message...) - I emerged nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx without any problem at all 
wish me good luck, I'm gonna try to start X as a user

Well, here's a problem, obviously. X is trying to do stuff with dri. dri (direct rendering interface) is a thing used by some drivers (opensource ati, 3dfx etc.). But nvidia binaries don't do dri. They do their own thing.
So, it could be that you have in your XF86Config a line loading the dri module.
If you're still having troubles take it out. It ain't needed. |

probably stating the incomprehensibly obvious here, but have you tried opengl-update nvidia?

He didn't have nvidia-glx installed properly, so it wouldn't have helped.
Plus at the end of the ebuild of nvidia-glx it automatically runs opengl-update. |

everything (almost) worked again when I removed the dri-line - but the nvidia-glx hates me
I had to remove the glx-line too, but I can atleast use my own desktop (and I don't have to ssh -X localhost to check my email... ).
I have emerged nvidia-glx a few times this evening, and I have also done the opengl-update nvidia... :-/
I think I'm going for a extensive nvidia-glx solving issue hunt on this forum...

Keep in mind that nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel have to be the same version.
Plus remember that the driver has to be inserted into the kernel before you load X.

doesnt have to be modprobed into the kernel for me, it just loads automatically...

I thought of that earlier this night - here is the output.
| Code: | oscar@oblivion oscar $ lsmod
Module Size Used by
nvidia 1701900 - |
It IS loaded, but now I can't kill it. The GLX still doesn't work....
gaah....
But hey - I can start X as a ordinary user

| Does your XF86Config file have GLX module? Make sure it does not have a # in front of it. |

Copied straight out out /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
| Code: | | (EE) [GLX]: Failed to add GLX extension (NVIDIA XFree86 driver not found) |
...although I've installed the nvidia-glx a few times...

when I loaded the module (by hand, can't remember why) I did it like this:
no caps, not anything out of the ordinary. a good point is though that the majority of the content in XFree86.0.log is written in caps

something must have gotten messed up.
nvidia-glx works fine my end on 2.60 test 9
have you tried:
opengl-update
??

I can always try again - although I have some....errrhh....backup to download before I can kill X

I re-emerged nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx, ran a opengl-update nvidia twice etc. etc. - still nothing

Hi
Can you post the "Device"- and "Module"-Section of your XF86Config?

"I re-emerged nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx, ran a opengl-update nvidia twice etc. etc. - still nothing"
hmm.
before we proceed any further, can you confirm that
/usr/src/linux point to your working kernel
if not do the following:-
rm /usr/src/linux
ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9 /usr/src/linux
where "linux-2.6.0-test9" is the name of the directory
containing your working kernel.
then do:
emerge nvidia-kernel
emerge nvidia-glx
make sure that /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
contains the following line:
nvidia
Reboot, and do let us know whether the above solves your problem |

I removed my softlinking to /usr/src/linux, remade that link, I emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, I added nvidia to the kernel-2.6 autoload (it wasn't there before...), rebooted.
I watched the boot sequence - and noticed that when my computer started to calculate the module dependencies, the nvidia modules wasn't loaded like it should - it failed.
...and X can't find the glx-drivers.[/quote]
