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
That's fine for starters. You may need to add one later if your
mouse or keyboard don't work.
(BTW, you need to emerge the xf86-input-evdev driver for the mouse
and keyboard if you don't
have an xorg.conf).

List of video drivers:

nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.36-gentoo-r5/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
That's definitely a problem. The "no such device" is a bit
ambiguous. I'm thinking maybe
the nouveau and nvidia drivers are fighting with each other, so
neither one can get full
control of the video hardware.
IIRC, if you build the nouveau driver into your kernel, it *will*
conflict with the nvidia
kernel module. I keep two different kernel config files, one with
nouveau, and the other
without nouveau for use with the nvidia.ko module.
Definitely build a kernel without nouveau at least until you get
everything else working --
and then *re*emerge nividia-drivers after you boot the new kernel.
(Compiling/installing
a new kernel will delete all of your existing kernel modules
including nvidia.ko!)
I already had the xf86-input-evdev driver installed. I could find
anything to take out of the kernel, but added nVidia Framebuffer
Support.

Then I "emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers". That, unfortunately,
didn't help; it failed to emerge and the output is below.
