Not maintained? I thought it was the tool of choice for what it does. I
thought it was intended to replace the 'q' utilities.
I actually just started having a problem with it the other day, using the
'list' command. It gets upset when I use the '-p' or '-o' option to list,
unless the user happens to be root:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery list -i nvidia-drivers

expression

I have this, and it works fine for me. I use the alsa snd_intel8x0 driver. Do you require OSS emulation? You could just take it out, though I don't seem to have a problem with it. from /etc/modules.d/alsa: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=1 -bryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There are several places you should be looking. First of all, be sure and read the NVIDIA driver README, particularly the Troubleshooting section. Get familiar with /proc/drivers/nvidia grep for NVIDIA in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. See anything interesting? try dmesg and see if it says anything about agpgart. By the way, did you emerge nvidia-glx? -bryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Badges
I put Gentoo on my mom's computer. I got tired of her asking me questions about her computer concerning the Windows OS, so I installed an OS *I* could help her maintain, and not feel disgusted with. Just wanted to share that... Has anyone else out there put Gentoo on their parents computers? -bryan > Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2005 10:50:17 -0400 > From: Michael Crute <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > At the expense of sounding like an "Elitist Chowderhead" I kind of agree=20 > with Chris.

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia.ko needs unknown symbols
I had the same problem. I found that those symbols are defined in the agpgart module. If you load agpgart first, things should work. Why nvidia's agp support is no longer useable on its own I don't know. I never saw any comments to the effect that nvidia.ko now requires agpgart, but it seems to be the case. -bryan > > I noticed these error messages after kernel recompilation: > if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map > 2.6.11-gentoo-r6; fi > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_bind_memory > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_enable > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_backend_acquire > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_free_memory > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_allocate_memory > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_unbind_memory > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_copy_info > WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown > symbol agp_backend_release > > Maybe this is why module nvidia doesn't load at startup.
