While trying to eliminate another problem, I built a new kernel, booted to it and unmerged and emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. I then started X. So far, so good. I tried to open a konsole and got pty permission errors. I rebooted to my 2.6.5 kernel, did some research and emerged udev (/usr/src/linux points to the new kernel.) I then rebooted the new kernel and can not start X I get errors saying it can't load the nvidia module. Do I need to creat a device node for the nvidia card? A little help here or a point in the right direction.
Odd thing is, I didn't need to unmerge/remerge the nvidia pakages for 2.6.5 to run X in this kernel. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free 18:49:08 up 7 min, 2 users, load average: 0.26, 0.37, 0.18 Linux 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
