If your <path>/dev/nvidia</path> devices are still missing every time you |
| 498 |
reboot, then it is most likely because udev is not automatically creating the |
| 499 |
proper device nodes. You can fix this by re-running <c>NVmakedevices.sh</c>, |
| 500 |
and then editing <path>/etc/conf.d/rc</path> as shown: |

This will preserve your <path>/dev/nvidia</path> nodes even if you reboot. |

<note> |
| 512 |
Alternatively, you might try emerging the latest <c>nvidia-kernel</c> and |
| 513 |
<c>nvidia-glx</c> from the 8xxx series. At the time of this writing, both are |
| 514 |
still marked ~arch. These drivers no longer rely on hotplug or udev to create |
| 515 |
the proper device nodes. Instead, the X driver itself will create your |
| 516 |
<path>/dev/nvidia</path> files when you start X. However, this will require you |
| 517 |
to use a recent kernel (2.6.14 and greater). |
