The bottom line is that I couldn't get the nvidia module to load. I checked my emerge log and I had updated gcc and nvidia-kernel on the same day. What I forgot to take into account is that after udating my compiler, (unless, of course I upgraded with the --emptytree flag, I would still be compiling my nvidia-kernel with the old gcc-3.3.x I have a brand new kernel and have recompiled nvidia-kernel. I can now load the module correctly and use it instead of "nv" Thanks again. -- Regards, Ernie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
