Has anyone got Nvidia to work with Kernel 2.6.14 ?
I had it working with 2.6.12 , but got an error with 2.6.14 :
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialise NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have usable configuration
Had same problem today with 2.6.13-r5.
Turned out that nvidia module was not loaded
so a simple modprobe nvidia fixed the problem.
I don't think that's the problem here:
root: root> modprobe -l
...
/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko
'modprobe -l' simply lists all the modules you have on your system, not
necessarily the modules you have currently loaded. For the currently
loaded modules use 'lsmod', or you can 'cat /proc/modules'
For example, when I run 'modprobe -l' I get a big long list of scsi
drivers and ethernet drivers that I don't have loaded. 'lsmod' just
gives me this:
Module Size Used by
ndiswrapper 193972 0
nvidia 3712520 14
Hope this helps
