By don't work I mean if I run some svgalib application, like zgv or mplayer, and have NV3 set on, I didn't see anything (only blank screen). Application still react on keyboard. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge svgalib 2. set chipset to NV3 3. run zgv Actual Results: Screen is blank. Expected Results: Show directory listing, in this case. I tested it as root user, but I think it still uses helper. I have installed mplayer. I don't used r128 patch because I don't have it home.
try 1.9.19 ... i believe it adds better support for more chips
get back to us please ;)
Sorry ... I have that card on offline computer, so it takes some time to test something on it ... now I installed media-libs/svgalib-1.9.18-r1 and it didn't work either, only it also don't properly restore textmode, which I think previous version did. I will try 1.9.19 on next case ... Still, I found weird that 1.4.3 works fine ... what changed since ? svgalib_helper ? Can be problem I have vanilla kernel ?

Created attachment 35479 [details] My configure file.
With 1.9.19 still no change.
i dont have access to said card so i'd suggest visiting http://www.svgalib.org/ and e-mailing the author/mailing list
Resolved with maintainer: Problem was in incorrectly (manually) set mtrr. XFree detected it and remove, while svgalib don't. From XFree86.0.log: (--) NV(0): MMIO registers at 0xDA000000 (==) NV(0): Removed MMIO write-combining range (0xda000000,0x1000000)
glad to hear, sorry we couldnt help more
