Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-03-12 08:48:49 UTC

Your user does have read/write permissions for the device nodes ?

Comment 2 Toby Dickenson 2005-03-12 13:43:16 UTC

permissions look the same as for 1.0.6629-r1 which does work, and startx as root fails the same way :-(

Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-03-13 01:20:32 UTC

Just humour me a favour and attach the output of (as your user):

 $ ls -l /dev/nvidia*
 $ groups
 $ dmesg

PS, it might be an kernel issue - they recommend 2.6.11 or later.

Comment 4 Toby Dickenson 2005-03-13 04:52:50 UTC

using kernel 2.6.11.2 and nvidia-{kernel,glx}-1.0.6629-r1 (which works again),
crw-rw----  1 root video 195, 255 Mar 13 12:02 /dev/nvidia
crw-rw----  1 root video 195,   0 Mar 13 11:19 /dev/nvidia0

crw-rw----  1 root video 195, 255 Mar 13 11:19 /dev/nvidiactl

I can explain the permissions differences.... crw-rw-rw- is set by 
/sbin/NVcreatedevices, and pam_console sets crw-------. I would be surprised if permissions were relevant here because Ive been testing this using startx as root, or using kdm started by root.

The "/dev/nvidia" device is interesting..... Im not sure where it came from.

I will add attachments of post-boot dmesg for both nvidia drivers using 2.6.11.2.

Comment 5 Toby Dickenson 2005-03-13 04:54:06 UTC

Created attachment 53319 [details]
post-boot dmesg using nvidia kernel module versio 6629, which works

Comment 6 Toby Dickenson 2005-03-13 04:54:41 UTC

Created attachment 53320 [details]
post-boot dmesg using 7167. does not work.

Comment 7 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Please add output of emerge --info

Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-03-13 08:17:59 UTC

Also, what version of module-init-tools ?

Comment 9 Toby Dickenson 2005-03-13 11:40:05 UTC

module-init-tools 0.9.12, will try current stable asap.

Right, aparently you need 3.1 (or maybe 3.0, can't remember) if I go by what I read on the nvidia forums.

Comment 11 Toby Dickenson 2005-03-20 11:12:28 UTC

Confirmed that this is fixed by module-init-tools 3.0-r2 (the oldest currently in portage). Thanks for the tip.

I suggest adding RDEPEND.
