Hello Gentoo and oth. Linux users,
I recently installed Gentoo (It was such a hard work for me, lol). And I faced with a problem when I decided to install KDE.
So my laptop has:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T6600
Video: nVIDIA GeForce 240M.
I followed this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml guide to install xorg-server. But when it gets to configuration:
It throws and error:

I've already tried
adding VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" to make.conf,
emerging nvidia-drivers
Also throws:
| Code: |
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:
no screens found

Please help, and keep in mind, I'm a total noob at Gentoo so don't judge brutally xD. And if it isn't hard please recommend best options for kernel for my hardware. Thousand THANKS in advance.

Just done these commands:
| Quote: |
emerge -aC $(qlist -IC x11-drivers/)
emerge -1avuDN xorg-server
emerge -1av nvidia-drivers
|
and the error became smaller,
| Code: |
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r6/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
No devices to configure. Configuration failed.

after "Xorg -configure" but still I can't configure it. Nobody knows the solution??!! Maybe the problem's in kernel?? |

This often means that some other driver is already exclusively accessing the device. Check the output of |

Thank you for your reply.
It seems that "nouveau" uses it. Some people say that I should uninstall it, but I don't know how. Moreover, I've just tried to install Graphics driver from vendor site(nvidia) and it says: ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. Then: ERROR: Installation has failed... So I've blacklisted it and It doesn't help. |

| You need to go to kernel menuconfig and disable nouveau there. |
