[gentoo-user] emerge nvidia
Hi, Quick question. I have a machine that runs an nVidia graphics adapter. It appears to have nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel emerged. (I did this 2 months ago and cannot find any notes on what I did.) I just built a new kernel for it and wanted to check that following the booting of the new kernel I just need to emerge these two packages again to have acceleration work correctly. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list You should only need to re-emerge nvidia-kernel. What I usually do is, build the new kernel, then disable xdm by doing rc-update del xdm default then reboot and check out the new kernel. if all goes well and it boots, then re-emerge nvidia-kernel, then test it out with startx. If everything works, enable xdm and reboot. HTH, Aaron -- /usr/bin/fortune says: QOTD: He's on the same bus, but he's sure as hell got a different ticket. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge nvidia
Yes, at this point you need to rebuild it and Alsa assuming it's 2.4.x kernels. Mark Knecht wrote: Hi, Quick question. I have a machine that runs an nVidia graphics adapter.

Thanks, Mark Actually you just need to reemerge nvidia-kernel, although emerging both certainly won't hurt anything. Also make sure your /usr/src/linux points to the same kernel that you're using.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge nvidia
I usually build the new kernel, boot it, then do nvidia and alsa again once I'm happy the new kernel is working. Mark Knecht wrote: On Sun, 2004-01-04 at 17:22, Brett I.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge nvidia-kernel fail
You say you compile inside a chroot, did you boot the 2.6 kernel? If you build kernel modules you always have to boot the kernel for which you build modules. - Original Message - From: Justin Findlay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 9:55 PM Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge nvidia-kernel fail I don't know why this module fails when I try to emerge it.
