OK. I'm going to try to write a step-by-step how to for enabling the most current Nvidia modules and glx on a gentoo system. Bear in mind -I STILL DON'T HAVE IT WORKING ON MY SYSTEM- so I need some help, esp with the "check if this step works" parts.
Before I start the parts I know, I have two questions; -Are there any kernel configs that need to be made before this will work? -Are there any "USE" flags that need to be set or unset? This how-to assumes you have X properly configured and functioning, with your XF86Config configured for you mouse and monitor. See the "Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide" if you need to configure this. Step One: emerge nvidia-kernel Check step one: (dunno? modprobe nvidia?) Step Two: emerge nvidia-glx Check step two: opengl-update nvidia (again, guessing that this won't work if emerge nvidia-glx failed) Step Three: edit XF6Config to load "glx" and use driver "nvidia" Check step three: startx, you should get the Nvidia splash screen if everything was done properly Step Four: Have NVdriver autoload at startup by including it in /etc/modules.autoload. What else? I must be missing something...coz I can't get mine to work. What step is missing from the above? I'm *sure* others have had problems because of old or incomplete docs, so please be as detailed as possible... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
