It would have happened the same with your ATI board. This means that the kernel modules version and the X driver versions do not match. This can have an easy explanation: probably your /usr/src/linux symlink is not pointing to the correct directory, so, the module was compile for any other kernel. And your current kernel is still using the old piece, while Xorg is using the new one. You can use 'uname -a' to check your kernel version. Then use 'eselect kernel list' to find the that same version in the list, and then you can use 'eselect kernel set <x>' to set the correct one. Emerge nvidia drivers again, rmmod nvidia, and modprobe nvidia. Look at dmesg's output to check there's no error loading nvidia. Now launch X. If it starts, all is ok. If not, probably your kernel was compiled with a different version of glibc/gcc than the nvidia-driver. So, you will need to recompile and reinstall your kernel, and then emerge nvidia-drivers again. That is the big picture. If you have any doubt just ask. -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
