I have a similar behaviour here after upgrading to nvidia-drivers-180.22. If I start gdm or kdm, it fails with: Failded to start the X-server... But there is no error (EE) in /var/log/Xorg.o.log. I can only find the following warnings: (WW) NVIDIA(0): The EDID for IBM (DFP-0) contradicts itself: mode "1680x1050" (WW) NVIDIA(0): is specified in the EDID; however, the EDID's valid (WW) NVIDIA(0): HorizSync range (53.398-64.075 kHz) would exclude this (WW) NVIDIA(0): mode's HorizSync (42.7 kHz); ignoring HorizSync check for (WW) NVIDIA(0): mode "1680x1050".

If I simply try to call startx or xdm, it works. And I get 3200 fps with glxgears. If I reboot sometimes, I can start kdm or gdm. But after login, I get again the console, at least mostly. Sometimes I still reach the desktop. Any idea why nvidia-drivers-180.2 and gdm or kdm play so bad with another. I still found one difference in Xorg.0.log in case of working or not working. In case of not working there are some additional lines at the end, starting with 'UnloadModule: "synaptics"' Any hint?
Created attachment 178892 [details] Xorg.0.log in case of error
@Sergey: Did you run `eselect opengl' afterwards?
Comment on attachment 178892 [details] Xorg.0.log in case of error @Juergen: That looks like an entirely different problem - open a new bug report, please.
(In reply to comment #3) > @Sergey: Did you run `eselect opengl' afterwards? > I run 'eselect opengl set nvidia' after driver instalation. The output is :'Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done' But this command includes into driver instalation script and executes automatically.(' * Adding module to moduledb. Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done')
(In reply to comment #4) > (From update of attachment 178892 [details] [edit]) > > @Juergen: That looks like an entirely different problem - open a new bug > report, please. > 1.I've found out libraries of nvidia-drivers-177.Then I've deleted them. 2. emerge nvidia-drivers The problem was solved.
