i just installed a new gentoo system... and i want to install the nvidia drivers


now, the last time i went through this mess i know the instructions on the guide didnt work for me... they caused all manner of problem, and i found answer to it with some addendum reachable via the search "nvidia gentoo" on google. This isnt there, now.

It promoted something extra... which made the drivers load. I cant remember what it was, though. Something about autoload, maybe? Bleh im tired and rambling now.

This may no longer be necessary should a new driver have been released or something therelike. Anyway, i think i might have put across my point. Its 6am, and that does NOT mean i wake up early. No. no..... no no no....

Code:

echo NVdriver >> /etc/modules.autoload


if you are using the 4191s,
Code:

echo nvidia >> /etc/modules.autoload
