 |
|
ok, i just updated my linux system by doing "emerge -u system". After it was done compiling and installing all the new ebuilds, i updated my config files as i was directed. then, after restarting my computer linux wouldn't start kde. when i typed "startx" i get the following error:
failed to initialized NVDriver module in kernel
is it possible that i have to change something in my XF86Config file because updating the system intalled new drivers? right now in my XF86Config file my driver is "nvidia". It has worked liked this fine up until i updated all my ebuilds. Any input would be great. Thanks. |

It might be that the NVDriver changed names in the latest version.
All you have to do to fix it is:
edit /etc/modules.autoload
and change NVDriver to nvidia
Then reboot or do a:
#/etc/init.d/modules restart |

that's weird. there is nothing at all in my modules.autoload file. just some instructions, but if i add nvidia to it, i still get errors. |
