Subject: [gentoo-user] xorg-x11 7.0 does not work with
nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r5
Hi!
Unfortunately i am forced to use nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r5 because my
graphic card is not supported by newer versions of the driver. I also
use kernel 2.6.11 because of that.
But now xorg does not seem to work with that driver:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
What can i do? I also tried to get it to work with nv instead
of nvidia,
but that does not work, too. I get some warnings but no errors.
Philipp

I finally got this working it seems.
These links were very helpful:

I can't recall the exact thing that solved it, but I suspect it was
the
nvidia/tls thing in the first post. I un/merged, un/masked, rm -rf
so many
things I can't remember anymore. But at the end of the day, I do
have the
latest nvidia drivers working in OpenGL glory on my Dell i8200
notebook
GeForce 440 card.
Glxgears gives me:
7630 frames in 5 seconds = 1526 FPS +/-
Now if only I could figure out a way to get the video card to not
share an
IRQ with SEVEN other things including my eth0, wlan and usb amongst
other
things -- then it wouldn't studder. *sigh*.
