After upgrading to newest kernel the X will not start.
Is: make oldconfig same as: make olddefconfig ?

This is an old system and is using: GeForce GTS 450
Does the newest kernel: linux-6.1.19-gentoo
supports my old GeForce GTS 450 card?
grep KMS .config
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM=y
I don't recall anything about the kernel that has to match the video card -
it's the video driver for X, but if you're using Nouveau, I wouldn't expect a
problem. I know the current nVidia driver is often not ready for the latest
kernel, but I don't think that's your problem. Have you recompiled
xv86-video-nouveau after installing the new kernel? Are there any relevant
errors in dmesg?
I think the problem is with latest kernel linux-6.1.19-gentoo
I'm using Nvidia dirver; x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.157
and after compiling the driver on this kernel I was getting a message notice:
WARN: setup
Detected potential configuration issues with used kernel:
CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE: is set, recommended to disable and switch to FB_EFI or
FB_VESA as it currently may be broken with >=kernel-5.18.13 + NVIDIA:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/341
(feel free to ignore this if it works for you)
I downgraded the kerenl to: linux-5.15.102-gentoo
and X is booting OK.
message after recompiling Nvida driver:
WARN: postinst
Be warned/reminded that the 390.xx branch reached end-of-life and
NVIDIA is no longer fixing issues (including security). Free to keep
using (for now) but it is recommended to either switch to nouveau or
replace hardware. Will be kept in-tree while possible, but expect it
to be removed likely in early 2027 or earlier if major issues arise.
