MaheS,

Can we have your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file when the nvidia driver is running please ?

Try removing the "VideoRam 32768" line.

MaheS,

Check the README file in /usr/share/doc/... and make sure version 6629 supports your chip.
Recent version of the driver do not.

MaheS,

Yes. In what context does that appear (I don't have 6629 any more)?
It loks promising though.

MaheS,

I have the exact same problem with you. My card is: geforce 4 MX 440 (says in the README that is supported).
If you solve it pliz let me know!

I think your problem is described here and is due to the nvidia 1.0.6629 drivers.

I followed the instructions and now i've got nvidia 3d support (using the nvidia 1.0.6111 driver).

hope it helps

I had this problem way back:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-282514-highlight-.html

I have a RIVA TNT2 also. I would recommend upgrading to the ~x86 drivers.

I used nvidia-kernel-1.0.7167-r1 and nvidia-glx-1.0.7167-r2, the problem is solved, when i returned to an older kernel, I couldn't modprobe the nvidia module!

But now I got it up and running

Thx everybody!

Maybe somebody should tell the gentoo developpers that this version of the nvidia kernel & glx are buggy!!! (with a tnt2)

I recompiled it!!!

It's just the version of the nvidia drivers I was using didn't work with my card, I had to unmask a newer version!

So the bug is solved by nvidia, I onlywonder why the gentoo developers still keep a buggy version as 'normal' in the portage??
