While upgrading from nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776 to nvidia-drivers-1.0.9631, starting X just display a black screen. I have to downgrade to use X. Laptop: DELL Latitude C840 Card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3)
Kindly review http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity Reopen with nvidia-bug-report.sh output, xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log attached.
Created attachment 105927 [details] NVidia bug report log
Created attachment 105929 [details] xorg.conf file
Created attachment 105931 [details] Xorg log file Before trying this version of nvidia-drivers, I removed /var/log/Xorg.* No /var/log/Xorg.0.log, only this one
Last line of Xorg.93.log is interesting: (EE) Error loading keymap /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled/server-93.xkm $ ls -la /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled/ total 49 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 136 2007-01-07 20:28 . drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 680 2006-11-27 12:06 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 644 2007-01-04 12:58 README.compiled -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 231 2006-04-21 11:59 server-0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40258 2006-04-21 12:19 server-0.xkb Someone certainly know the origin of this "93" in place of "0", but I don't :-S Could someone explain me ? Sorry for having marked this original bug as blocker, in fact I wanted to prevent this ebuild to be stabilized because it IS blocking. I thought the scope of "blocker" was limited to the area of the concerned application/version.
This is most likely related to the configuration changes that nVidia made from the 8xxx to 9xxx series drivers. Please review the README and update your configuration accordingly. You can also use nvidia-xconfig to assist you. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/index.html If this does not resolve your issue, re-test with a newer version of the drivers.
