Hi all, Picking random message to reply with update. I updated to nvidia-drivers-440.82 and got it to work. Perhaps this is just a minor hickup but when I loaded the nvidia modules, it didn't load the drm and modeset ones it depends on. Maybe it was something I missed or once I get into my new kernel or reboot, it would work correctly then. I don't recall it ever doing that before. I'll make a note of that. For anyone else who upgrades without a reboot and X doesn't come up, make sure all the video modules are loaded. X does not come up without them all. Sort of freaked me out a bit for a second. lol I'm still on my old kernel but nvidia did build and install for both my current kernel and the new one which is gentoo-sources-5.6.7. I plan to boot into it when my batteries come in and I put those in my UPS. Once all that gets done, new video drivers, new kernel, new UPS batteries and since I update tonight and the batteries come in tomorrow, a up to date OS as well. Between that and the awesome new disc I'm using to prepare my garden, I can't complain. :-D Thanks to all. Dale :-) :-)
