I'm trying to do a new install on an amd64 box and there are a lot of
problems somewhere between X, Gnome, and the Graphics card. I'm using
genkernel so there shouldn't be too much of a problem there.
The graphics card as identified by the system is: nVidia Corporation
NV36 [GeForce FX 5700LE]
The base system and xorg-x11 seems to be set up alright. However,
when I run startx as a regular
user I get errors about drm, dri, and dri2 modules and the screen.
Those drm and dri error messages are normal when using the nvidia
drivers, but the screen
error is not normal. What does it say, exactly? Did you generate
your xorg.conf by doing
Xorg -configure? Are you using an xorg.conf file at all?
The nouveau driver is not nearly ready for prime time yet, so I'd
stick with nivida-drivers
at least until you have everything else working.
I am not using the xorg.conf file and hal is not in my USE variable in
make.conf. The /var/log/genkernel.log file doesn't appear to have
anything unusually in it. I've done a number of Gentoo installs over
the past five years and found that if you follow the instructions
everything works. That's not the case this time. I suspect there's
something missing from the install documentation that is new whether
it's an explanation or kernel setting . . . One thing that should be
mentioned is to make sure python 2.6 is eselect'ed.
When I run Xorg -configure, it produces an xorg.conf.new file but I get
the following also. I've tried using nvidia in VIDEO_CARDS also, but it
still doesn't work.
