I had to downgrade from the earlier release. Hopefully this one fixes it. I'll have to give it a go |

Sweet, I was having problems with the black screen, Hope this works.
edit: Nope, still the same black screen. And you can't just overwrite the kernel module now with the older one. You have to uninstall it. |

I wonder if it'll help with the gibberish in my dmesg output. I've seen a lot of other people having that problem as well. I'm guessing if it's not mentioned in the changelist, it's probably not gonna happen. _________________ http://dkap.info |

Yes it does cure the debug in dmesg (I found it very annoying also and had downgraded to 4620 driver.) |

you tried to emerge 5332, which is 64-bit.
this thread is about 5336, which for as far
as i know, does not have an ebuild yet, but
works fine if you unmerge your existing glx
+ kernel, and run the install package from
nvidia.com.
good luck. |

i tried emerging 5336, but X complains about a glx/kernel mismatch, says the module is version 4480 (which doesnt exist...). Also the number seems to change each time I emerge nvidia-kernel _________________ 95% of all computer errors occur between chair and keyboard (TM)

then try the new one.. _________________ Kororaa install method - have Gentoo up and running quickly and easily, fully automated with an installer! |

I get the error two after ensuring all versions of nvidia-kernel and nvida-glx are removed. |

Make sure to kill X and "rmmod nvidia" before restarting X. |

I'm having a *strange* problem related to the 5536 drivers (-r1).
I emerged those, shut down X, and rebooted. However. the new nvidia module could not be inserted during the bootup. I tried to modprobe it, but it gave me an error message (unknown symbol).
I rolled back to the old 5328 (and eventually, 4***) drivers, that were working just fine before - but now I cannot load them either (!?)
Dows anyone have a clue what might be going on?
EDIT: Ok, I got the older ones working again by manually removing nvidia.o/.ko in /lib/modules and re-emerging.
The 5336 drivers still don't work. Here are the kernel messages:
Code: | Feb 2 02:23:13 [kernel] nvidia: no version magic, tainting kernel.
Feb 2 02:23:13 [kernel] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
Feb 2 02:23:13 [kernel] nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add
Feb 2 02:23:13 [kernel] nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy
Feb 2 02:23:13 [kernel] nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_remove
Feb 2 02:23:13 [kernel] nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_create

Nothing > than the 4620's has a working frame buffer for me. I'm running a 1280x1024 bootsplash (slient mode) framebuffer and anything above 4620 displays low-res gibberish. Anyone have a fix for this? _________________ "Vidar, Odin's mighty son, he will come to slay the wolf

Thank you. It is working now - either updating the kernel headers to 2.6.0 or changing to kernel 2.6.2-rc2-mm1 helped. _________________ ::feed my lotus flower seed:: |

loads X fine, 3d works fine, but logging out of xfc4 and restarting xdm dies.
changing to other terminals shows the whole screen in box colours. I see mostly black, and a few grey squares, and some green ones on teh right (from [OK] message on boot services) alt+ctrl+del reboots and then X is fine, until I log out of an Xsession to log back in...
any ideas? other versions worked fine.
I have p4 3.2 system with fx5900, and xfree 4.0.3.1 (I think.. - whatever is latest - I emerged it yesterday), 2.6.2-mm sources

same problem here, updated xfree today and i get green squares after logout.
athlon-xp, geffo256,gnome,2.4.25 sources.
we have completly different hardware except gpu, so the problem is certainly the new xfree release with new nvidia drivers.
i'll look around for a solution, if u have news pm me pls! |
