2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel config
My kernel config.
Attach the output of `dmesg` please. Also, you could try re-merging nvidia-kernel. Sorry for the delay. Anyways, I found the problem. The nvidia driver won't load if you compile in the nvidia framebuffer support. Still works fine with the VGA framebuffer, however. vesafb is a good alternative as well. Did you have this support compiled in before? VGA framebuffer = vesafb. ;P And no. The nvidia framebuffer support (not rivafb, which is known not to work with the nvidia drivers) is new in 2.6.12. Kernel, anything to add on this issue? If not, this might only be fixable by nVidia or not fixable at all... Not fixable. It's pretty much always been this way - choose between rivafb or the nvidia binary drivers. Now its changed (for most users) to be a choice between nvidiafb or nvidia binary. Thanks, I'll mark this as INVALID considering this is probably the way it should be. Can't have two drivers accessing the same hardware :P |
