equery shows the nvidia-glx drivers have been put here: equery files nvidia-glx |grep drivers /usr/modules/drivers /usr/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o /usr/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so they should have been added to /usr/lib/modules/drivers/ instead PS: I did see issue #82595, but because the talk is about another directory, and the user has incorrect symlink in my opinion, I created a new one Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4 2. equery files nvidia-glx |grep drivers OR startx 3. Actual Results: output: /usr/modules/drivers /usr/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o /usr/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so Expected Results: output: /usr/lib/modules/drivers /usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o /usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
I have never had a problem with the nvidia-glx drivers. I am using the 2005.0 profile, this is the only thing I can think of that might possible make my system sufficiently different to Rainmaker's. I have the line in /etc/portage/package.keywords: media-video/nvidia-glx ~amd64 This is so I always have the latest "testing" package (which as I write this is the same as the version in question here). I don't even have a /usr/modules directory on my system, and the two files in question (nvidia_drv.o and nvidia_drv.so) are in the /usr/lib/modules/drivers directory as expected. /usr/lib is a real folder, and /usr/lib64 is a symlink to it. Hope this helps.
Well, in my case it was baselayout which caused troubles with glx. I did a search, and found this bug to be the best matching in relation to my problems. It was a completely different problem. There are a few other bugs with the same problem, # 76990, # 80161, # 82769 etc. search for "glx". Problem seems to be AMD64 specific.
works for me here... pleae reopen if you're still having problems.
