Hello I am trying to follow the nvidia guide here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml
I have done everything sucessfully including emerg nvidia-glx but I can't do modprobe nvidia... (it says: FATAL: Module nvidia not found.)
I am trying to install it to 2.6.15-gentoo-r7, but I am actually running 2.6.14 now. |

the nvidia modules will be installed into /lib/modules/<whatever kernel name /usr/src/linux is symlinked to> so if you are installing it into 2.6.15 and you are running 2.6.14 you won't be able to load the module until you are running that kernel. Hope this helps. |

I guess, that's the problem.  |
