Hi again,
For those mot up to date. I built a new rig that has a Nvidia GT220
card in it. I bought a brand new monitor this morning, a LG W2253,
and
it worked one time. I had to reboot to move some things around and
when
I rebooted, the GUI doesn't come up. The BIOS screen shows up and I
can
see the services start up as well but when it switches to vt7, it
just
has a little blinking cursor at the top.
Have you changed the kernel? The nvidia-drivers (as well as the ati-
drivers) have to be re-emerged after (nearly) any change to the kernel.
Just re-emerge it, unload and reload the corresponding kernel module
and try again to startx.
Helmut.
Just to make sure I understand you correctly. You mean:
cd /usr/src/linux
make all&& make modules_install
then cp the kernel to /boot ?
That I didn't try. I knew if I updated the kernel I had to re-emerge
the nvidia-drivers but I didn't know it was the other way around too.

Dale,
Easy to test if the nvidia-driver is loaded correctly.
What does "dmesg" say when loading the nvidia module?
Also, is "nvidia" listed in the following file:
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ?
I don't have it there, for some reason it's "autoloaded", but it might help?

According to dmesg, it loads fine when booting. It also loads fine when
I load it manually as well.
