Hi again,
For those mot up to date. I built a new rig that has a Nvidia GT220
card in it. I bought a brand new monitor this morning, a LG W2253, and
it worked one time. I had to reboot to move some things around and when
I rebooted, the GUI doesn't come up. The BIOS screen shows up and I can
see the services start up as well but when it switches to vt7, it just
has a little blinking cursor at the top.
This is a grep of the log:

I have tried X -configure, Xorg -configure and nvidia-xconfig and none
of them do any better. I also did a emerge -e all the way up to
nvidia-driver as well then reconfiged everything. Still no joy. I'm
not going to mention all the reinstalls of the nvidia drivers and
different versions I tried.
I attached my xorg.conf file too. I can send the whole xorg.log file if
needed. Oh, I always get the dri load error. I also used eselect to
switch to nvidia's opengl to, many times.
Could it be something weird with the card maybe? This is monitor two
that has issues with it.
I have a ATI card handy. If someone knows of a idiot proof guide I
could follow. You know, one that you used and are confident it will
work if followed. I don't have much hair left right now. :-(
Just for fun, I got a Mandriva install CD and booted it up and even
installed it on a spare drive. After the install, it boots just like
Gentoo does. I can see the BIOS, the services and such but when it
switches to vt7, just a blinking cursor.
This new rig is turning into a nightmare. No wonder I waited almost 8
years. lol
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions, other than jumping in the creek.
Dale
