nvidia & 2.6.10-r6 -- Unresolved Symbols

Message

I'm having problems getting the nvidia drivers to work with kernel 2.6.10.

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.10-r
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r3

When starting X, the driver craps out with these errors:

I thought fb* symbols might have something to do with framebuffer, so I recompiled the kernel dropping support for all those. After I remerged the nvidia-kernel it still is giving me these errors. Any ideas?

I assume that you first emerged kernel-2.6.10 and then nvidia driver.
Kernel 2.6.10 is known to have problems with nvidia 6629 drivers. You may have to patch manually nvidia-kernel before installing it. Check this post:

I have the same problems as you do, but am using kernel 2.6.7

nvidia is completely borked for me, for the first time in a long time.

Hope a new release will sort this out!!

I fixed this but don't remember what I did. If I do happen to remember I'll post back here.

I'm having these issues as well after upgrading to 6.8.2 (I tried cvs too). These errors have to do with the nvidia X video driver module, not the kernel module, so recompiling that will not fix anything. I guess xorg changed some of the internals around and we'll probably have to wait for a new release from nvidia to fix it.

Any other news on this? I'm getting the exact same thing with the "nvidia" driver in my xorg.conf, but if I use the "nv" driver I get a screen at least but GLX runs way to damn slow. I'm also using xorg 7, the reason is I want to try XGL.

here is my output from glzinfo |grep direct

Code: Select all

~ $ glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

Here is my xorg error log. as you can see it's the same error.

Thanks in advance, and cheers,

Hi,
if you need old nVidia drivers because you have a tnt* or <=gforce2 card install the 7174 version. I got these "nvidia_drv.o is unresolved" error messages with 6629 and Xorg7.0, too. 7174 works fine.
bug 130944 was submitted, because 6629 is stil listed in the nVidia guide
