Check whether you have /dev/nvidia[0..9] and /dev/nvidiactl.
I don't have them. But the kernel module is loaded. I'll have a look
at udev now.
They are essential, you want them.
From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml :
Code Listing 3.2: Creating the nvidia device nodes
# /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh
If your /dev/nvidia devices are still missing every time you
reboot, then it is most likely because udev is not
automatically creating the proper device nodes. You can fix
this by re-running NVmakedevices.sh, and then editing
/etc/conf.d/rc as shown:
Code Listing 3.3: Editing /etc/conf.d/rc
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes"
This will preserve your /dev/nvidia nodes even if you reboot.
That solved my problem, thank you. I wonder why i never had problems
with this before.
