Re: [gentoo-user] Newcomer: Nvidia from GRP and MX4000

[Alan E. Davis]

It was installed at the time I posted this problem; however, I have now removed nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and generated a new xorg.conf.  The system is working now, using "nv" as the driver.  Next, I guess I'll install nvidia-kernel, etc., and see if it works this time? 

Thank you very much for your post.

I have made it through an installation, installing everything from the Packages (GRP) disk.   This has been a no-net install so far.

Trying to configure Xorg, after installing nvidia-kernel driver and nvidia-glx. 
    Xorg -configure
then
    X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

I also did "modprobe nvidia"

I am receiving the message

    (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!

Then the process aborted.

I haven't found (yet) any suggestions, except to install a newer version of the nvidia-kernel.

I fear I will have to upgrade the whole system now, once I can get online, which may be days away.

Thanks for any suggestions.
