Howdy,

You might want to try module-rebuild (see this week's
Gentoo Linux Newsletter - http://www.gentoo.org).

Basically:

 emerge module-rebuild
 module-rebuild list
 module-rebuild rebuild

That should make sure all kernel modules are built.

I did not hit this problem when I switched to udev.
I am using nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676.

Here's some other suggests I found via google:

verify xorg.conf:
 Section "Device"
    Driver "nvidia"

modprobe nvidia
modprobe vgahw
X --probeonly


HTH,
Roy

Roy,
I changed /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice as you suggested. No luck.
I checked the Xorg.0.log. The only error message there was
"Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module."
I forgot to check dmesg.
I am wondering if I need to use mknod. Eventhough the nvidia module
seems to
load (lsmod confirms this), I cannot find any entries in /dev for
nvidia.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA

One word.  mouse

You probably need to change /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice in xorg.conf.

Ok. I removed the /dev/.devfsd and now UDEV works, but now I am getting an X windows error. "... Screens found but none have a usable

configuration."
I tried re-emerging nvidia-kernel, and loading nvidia with modprobe prior to startx, but that didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?
TIA

Take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  If you need more help, post it
here.
