 |
|
Hi,
I am trying to install gentoo on a new laptop. I managed to have the first UEFI boot and then installed what is necessary for xorg-server:
Profile amd64 systemd
initramfs integrated in kernel to have an easy uefi stub
Graphic card/ Nvidia GEForce GTX860M
VIDEO_CARDS = "nvidia" in /etc/portage/make.conf (nouveau doesn't seem to be compatible)
lspci -k says that the card is recognized and the driver in use is nivdia
Version of nvidia-drivers is 343-22-r2 and is declared supporting the card by NVIDIA's site.
Here is Xorg.0.log:

I understand that it is a matter of config but I must confess I have trouble understanding how to configure xorg.
I did that in /etc/X11/xorg.con.d/nvidia.conf /

| nowadays works without a xorg.conf. Try that first. After that you start tweaking xorg.conf, or xorg.conf.d/ for further customization. |

| Are you sure the kernel driver loaded properly? Look for a /dev/nvidia* device and check dmesg. |

Nouveau was selected as module in the kernel. I completely removed it. This doesn't change anything.
After running nvidia-xconfig can I assume the config is OK?
By the way. I also have trouble with localectl. Each command like localectl list-<something> return a "Failed to create bus connection" message. Can this be connected with x''s impossibility to start? |

Everything is valid there, except you do not generate any xorg.conf, it will generate a big bloated conf. All you need it the four-liner.

Do you mean I can keep only the Section "Device" and delete the rest ? |

augustin2,
| Code: | | [ 1632.973] (EE) No devices detected. |
suggests that either another driver has grabbed the nvidia chip.
Framebuffer drivers must be disabled. You used to get away winh vesafb but the kernel module gives a warning.
The other cause in that the nvidia chipset is not supported by the driver you are using.
| Code: | | [ 1632.947] (--) PCI: (0:1:0:0) 10de:1392:1558:3501 rev 162, Mem @ 0xf6000000/16777216, 0xe0000000/268435456, 0xf0000000/33554432, I/O @ 0x0000e000/128, BIOS @ 0x????????/524288 |
says that you have a GM107M [GeForce GTX 860M] card. Check the /usr/share/do.../README to ensure that the driver supports that card.

The recompilation of nvidia-drivers says that there are kernel misconfigurations but I dont understand what it is about (it is at the beginning of the output -line 53):
