Then see next thread... http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?tt=url&url=http%3A%2F%2Flists. suse.com%2Farchive%2Fsuse-linux%2F2003-Aug%2F2296.html&lp=de_en See my modprobe output at http://inter.homelinux.net This new nvidia driver fails to load because of a lack in the kernel asm or somethin (i think), the driver manages to build, but not to load. Dunno if it's the motherboard driver or the headers that are wrong.. At least someone mentioned header faults in #linuxhelp. Would appriciate a patch for this in the next gentoo-sources release :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: make install the driver.. and try loading it. Actual Results: /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o: unresolved symbol highmem_start_page /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o: unresolved symbol kmap_prot /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o: unresolved symbol kmap_pte /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o: Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license and it has unresolved symbols. Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they can help you. /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o: insmod nvidia failed Expected Results: return 0; Go gentoo :p
Looks like you might be having problems with your kernel configuration. Make sure the kernel in /usr/src/linux is the one you are using, and if not, get a fresh kernel and configure it manually. Then remerge nvidia-kernel.
and make sure you have highmem support in your kernel
Solved the problem: I installed the new 2.4.22 kernel from kernel.org, works grate now, and with 2000 fps more in glxgears, with the new nvidia driver. :)
