I am currently using the nitro2 sources and I am getting the kbuild error when trying to emerge the new drivers... anyone know a way around this? |

I have tried every solution listed so far, but I still have the same problem;
After I hit "startx", X will start up but stop at the Nvidia splash screen.
I have a GeForce 4 MX 440 (with 128 megs of RAM). I am using the most current Xorg, on a Stage 1 install, NPTL-Enabled, and 2.6.9 kernel.
I am not getting any errors in dmesg, or the Xorg log. In fact, the mouse pointer still moves around, and on some occasions I can see the Enlightenment themed mouse pointer. Notably, I have also tried it with twm, and got the same result.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anderon is that happening to you across both 6111-r3 and 6629? |

No, the 6111-r3 drivers worked fine...

So, in short, a lot of people are having this problem, and a solution (as of yet) doesn't exist.
Well...I've had phenomenal luck with drivers for Linux so far...perhaps it is my turn to pay the piper and be stuck waiting for a driver...

@people getting OpenGL problems starting games: if you're using composite, add Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" to the device section of xorg.conf. _________________ Work is punishment for failing to procrastinate effectively.

No problems here: i'm using fx5200, 2.6.9-gentoo-r1, no preempt, 4k stacks, ntpl, xorg-6.7.0
ET seems a bit smoother when there's 25+ people in the server. _________________ Registered Linux User #363420 |

If this doesn't work try using
Code: | LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 ut2004 |
This fixed my problems with Doom 3 and UT 2004 |

6629 doesn't seem to work on the P3 box with a riva tnt2. The module loads, kdm starts, nvidia splash shows, the login window appears with only the user icon visible and the rest still having the nvidia splash covering it or behind it like it's partially transparent. I can type in my passwd and kde starts but it looks the same, moust over the text in dialogs will make it visible (like a right click menu) but some things are missing or transparent and it's really slow. Composite is not enabled and I disabled renderaccell too with no change. I changed my kernel and removed agp support and there was no difference using the nvidia agp. The P3 is on an intel 440BX/ZX/DX mobo (dell).
I just went back to the 6611 drivers since that box doesn't need any performance boosts in the video really. |

A quick suggestion for those having problems with TNT-based cards:
In /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-*/README.gz, there is "APPENDIX H: TNT SPECIFIC ISSUES", with a few suggestions. I hope this helps. _________________ Registered Linux User #363420 |

Same problem here. Kernel module builds fine, then startx => nvidia logo => X server kill no error log, nothing. btw i use fx5900 and 6111 just works fine. |

I've never figured out what to use to read these .gz files. |

cptmorgan@thebigone cptmorgan $ glxgears
37554 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7510.800 FPS
42731 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8546.200 FPS
42701 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8540.200 FPS
42735 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8547.000 FPS
Geforce FX5900 Ultra..... about 300 fps faster than from last release. glxgears doesnt really prove anything does it ? Its nothing like a 3dmarks test if your familiar with them. |

There's also zless. I didn't know that simple less (meanwhile?) is also able to read .gz-files. |

Thanks for all the tips on .gz files.
Edit:
I discovered I had already used this to get my TNT2 card working when I first started using Linux. So this is no help with the problems with the new version of nvidia. |
