 |
|
hi,
this is a fresh build, with a fresh install.. i might forgot to configure/emerge something, though i doubt it.
the problem is whenever i try to startx (manually for now, & as root..)
####
####
####
i've tried to use newer versions of both nvidia-drivers/xorg-server with no avail..
any help?

because your xorg.log show glx module is nvidia one (so you've done eselect opengl set nvidia) but the log also show it doesn't respect your emerge --info VIDEO_CARDS & make.conf VIDEO_CARDS settings trying to load nv nouveau, fb... (plenty drivers but not the nvidia one)
cure:
emerge -C $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
this will remove the offending drivers
and emerge -uDN world to get the good one set in make.conf or emerge them by hands if you prefer (nvidia-drivers, xf86-input-evdev are minimum if you want a video keyboard & mouse)
repost the xorg.log if it keep failing with nvidia-drivers correctly set
edit : you forgot to post your blood type ! 
(kidding you, it's good to post plenty infos, kernel conf was a bit too much, but it's ok) |

odd enough, if i remove any nvidia related config/driver, & only use the vesa driver, i still can't issue startx!!
i've just plugged another HDD with ubuntu 10.04 (& nvidia drivers) & it worked!! WTF?!
any ideas?

already did, but it did NOT help:
1. since i had vesa in the use flags, the bitch used the vesa & refused to use the nvidia driver!
2. last time i did a clean install of gentoo (about year ago) emerging xorg-server would pull them automatically! why do i need to do it manually now?
anyway, i've unmerged xorg-server & all related stuff, emerged -e world, & i'm emerging xorg-server kdebase-startkde kdm xdm to see if this would help..
though i'm 99% sure it won't..
for some reason, i'm suspecting a kernel/kernel config issue rather than xorg..? or maybe the nvidia driver itself? or even an nvidia driver/kernel combo?..
anyone?

update..
reinstalled from a minimal stage4 i have, selected kde-desktop profile, emerged xorg-server kdebase-startkde xdm kdm, updated OpenGL to nvidia, changed xdm.con to start kdm, start hald/dbus..
same frustrating problem!, starting xdm or startx give a blank screen with the blinking cursor in the upper left side of the screen..
kdm.log:

i'm pretty sure that i'm not the only one who is trying to use X!! it seems like it's an X related problem, that can not find the nvidia driver!
my config:

again, desperately, any ideas?

no xorg.conf, i get a blank screen with blinking cursor..
if i use one, no matter how minimal it is, but with the nvidia driver, the system freeze & i have to hard-reset.. which is unhealthy!!
from the log(s) it's obvious that xorg can't see/call the nvidia module or maybe not aware of! this is strange!

@ krinn, as i said the system will lockup & no error would be logged! i've already tried 
@ rebeetter, i'm emerging -e world
strange enough though, is that i can not find any other posts with similar symptoms!!

finally!!
1. emerge -e world did nothing, besides polluting the environment! 100mins of compilation for nothing..
2. so falling back to plan B, i've grabed the binary installer script from nVIDIA, ran it & TA-DAA it worked!!
the version i've downloaded was 256.44 so at least, i knew that nothing was wrong with me config.. ok, so this was a partial solution since i want to use gentoo's & have portage take care of it!
yesterday, i've tried unmasking & using the "older" 256.35 & got the same error! so i look again @ nVIDIA's website & notice that the driver was released 2 days ago, i go to www.gentoo-portage.com look at newest & surprisingly i was added today!! WTF?!
i hit an emerge --sync & voila, the driver in portage! so i uninstall nVIDIA's driver, unload the kernel module, emerge nvidia-drivers, modprobe nvidia, restart xdm & BOB-IS-YOUR-F-UNCLE!! it worked! 
so, thank you so much krinn & rebeetter for the effort
