The kernel module in 1.0.4191 is called nvidia modprobe nvidia. The ebuild had a note about it Anders Sorry, dude, but YOU have missed the point.

I have nvidia in my XFConfig, but to load the module, I seem to have to put NVdriver in my modules.autoload file. I believe something in the baselayout changed this for me, as I had not needed to do this before. No, 1491 needs: # Nvidia drivers support alias char-major-195 nvidia alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195 fresh from /etc/modules.de/nvidia and not yours: cat /etc/modules.d/nvidia alias char-major-195 NVdriver ### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/nvidia alias char-major-195 NVdriver ### modules-update: end processing /etc/modules.d/nvidia Snipped from modules.conf. I also get the same glxgears performance as before. All I know is I'm using the Nvidia official drivers and not the nv open source ones. So I'm cool. do a lsmod Is nvidia loaded? or NVdriver? I bet, you are loading NVdriver... ;o) Glück Auf, Volker -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The instructions, I believe, tell you to un-install the old driver first then to install the new one. No small wonder things are acting wierd. I have upgraded to the latest, removing the 3123 driver firstand had no problems getting the card to work, other that AGP issues related to my KT133 chipset. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

No errors are reported, just that the X server broke off it's connection. The kernel module also reports that it is still in use after everything is exited. Any suggestions, ideas, anything? To clarify, I've upgraded both the kernel module and the glx module. (they're both at 1.0.4191-r1). I am running ~X86, so that could be the issue. In any case, I'm able to use the nv driver (non 3d accellerated) and it works all right, so it's not a huge issue. It'd just be nice to figure out what the problem is.. There was a whole bunch of stuff that got upgraded at the same time. I use nvidia-1.0.4191-r1 and XFree-4.2.99.4 ... baselayout changed about the same time. I didn't know where to look to discover why mozilla segfaulted and X response was so slow. It turned out to be a font problem. /etc/fonts/fonts.conf used to work OK but now it seems to need to have font directories listed that have no subdirectories, so dir/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dir is not good enough any more. This may have nothing to do with your problem of course, but it may be worth a look. Peter -- Gentoo-1.4.3.2 Unstable. KDE: 3.1.0 Qt: 3.1.0 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ 512MB.
