I have a TNT2 card. I emerged the new nvidia driver. There are no log errors. But it can't render windows anymore. The splashscreen does not disspear when starting up. Only some fonts of kdm (words like "OK" or "root" and the mouse coursor) appear before the splashscreen. The computer has not crashed, since the mouse is movable and the keyboard also works. Simply it does not display what one wants. others see the same behaviour: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-307843.html switching to the vesa driver everything works (with the same resolution etc.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.have a tnt2 card 2.emerge nvidia-kernel 3.emerge nvidia-glx 4. configure Xorg as in the gentoo manual. 5. type startx or kdm
Please add output of 'emerge --info', and the version of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx used.

Ok, try the latest unstable (1.0.7167) as aparently the TNT2 support issues in the previous releases was fixed.
Thanks, the unstable version worked. I think you could unmask them.
I was experiencing the same problem, the splash screen didn't go away.

Created attachment 66957 [details] Kernel Oops with nvidia TNT2 Kernel oops 2.6.12 r9 It happens with and without nvidia-drivers. vesafb does not work. vesafb_tng does not work nvidiafb does not work ... Some resolutions are possible - sometimes and sometimes not.
This is actually fixed as per comment #4. Jeroen, if you look at the link that the driver gives you'll see that nVidia no longer has support for the TNT2 in newer drivers and thus using 7167 is not a workaround but rather the proper solution. Arnold, this is a different bug entirely and sounds like a kernel issue and not a x11 issue, unless you give what's causing the crashes. Please open a new bug and give all the required information there.
