I looked at the 8178 ebuilds before doing a --sync and the usr/${pkglibdir} was there. After doing the sync the syntax was usr/X11R6/${pkglibdir}
BUT... The ebuild version numbers havn't changed! Rather than being -r1 they are still original 
Took a forced "emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx" (same version) to get things working. |

Thanks!
good stuff. I just saw them earlier this year when they came to my neck of the woods. It was a bloody good time, I even got thrown out for crowd surfing(though they threw me out the back door, I just came back in through the front door  ) I took pictures but they came out really crappy. |

On my system the files were copied to /usr/lib/xorg/modules. This is the new ModulePath from Xorg 7...

Hi guys,
I still have a problem.
After upgrading to 1.0-8178 I get a version missmatch when starting X.
I upgraded both nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx ofcourse, followed by "eselect opengl set nvidia".
The errormessage states that my kernel module is still version 1.0.8174...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Is your /usr/src/linux libk correct? And did you remove and modprobe again nvidia kernel module?

I just re-synced and re-emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx and all is well. (I removed and reloaded the nvidia module also, but I am not sure this was necessary, but it can't hurt.)
Apparently the ebuild is fixed.
Damn these guys are fast!

That's essential for the kernel module to take effect. Otherwise, you'll still be using the old kernel module. |

As it so happens I had upgraded my GCC version to 4.x to fix a problem with Python in the middle of all of this. After spending a few hours trying to follow all of the forums I finally get to this post and when I'm ready to modprobe it I get an "invalid module format" error. Took me a solid 20 minutes to figure out it was probably because the kernel had been compiled in 3.4.4 and the module had just been compiled in 4.0.2.
Dunno if this story helps anyone, but at least it's worth a laugh. |

I've followed the advice in this forum, and re-emerged nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel and still cant get it to start. I manually coppied both of the missing files, and made sure that the lib directory was changed in the ebuild before emerging. I restarted X and get this error in the log.
| Quote: | (II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/libglx.so
dlopen: libGLcore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7) |
I looked in my /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/ folder and found that libGLcore.so.1 isn't there, so I coppied it.
| Code: | | cp /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.8178 /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so.1 |
I restart Xorg, and get the same error message. I recently(yesterday) reemerged xorg(before I found this thread) trying to resolve this problem. can anyone help? |
