[solved?] Re: [gentoo-user] modular X, nvidia, and unresolved symbols
It appears that the nvidia driver wants something that isn't available when the minimal use flag is present during the xorg-server compile. Eliminating this use flag got rid of the unresolved symbols. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] modular X, nvidia, and unresolved symbols
Hi, I've successfully upgraded to modular X on 4 machines without any issues, but the 5th box is fighting me. The 5th box, a Dell Inspiron 8200, has an nvidia card, and I've used the proprietary nvidia video drivers for years without problems. I've followed the instructions in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml but X fails to start. The end of the Xorg.0.log file contains (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libddc.so (II) Module ddc: vendor=X.Org Foundation compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8 Symbol fbWinPrivateIndex from module /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o is unresolved!
