Did you do like the message said and read the README for the Common Problems? Created attachment 104814 [details]
emerge --info
no, i didn't like it, but i took a look at it, and searched for my problem, it's not mentioned there, i also google'd about 2 hours, and read tons of forum posts, and tried different combinations, and thus i arrived here. Created attachment 104815 [details]
xorg.conf
i have a twinwiev setup, but i think it does not reach that point yet.
i've tried pci=biosirq pci=noacpi noapic acpi=off iommu=off appended in different combinations, same results. is there be a way i can get CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA(and agpgart) or nvagp without CONFIG_AGP=y ? (currently i can't disable CONFIG_AGP and there is no CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA) i checked my bios, there is no 'assign irq to vga' or similar, all i can set is 4x/8x/auto for agp, which is on auto. CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_IOMMU=y and i can't unset them :( with nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774 i get an X server hang with a black screen. i can kill the server and reboot the machine, with the black screen on. only bios is able to reinitialize the card and show something. strange. now nv works, probably after i uninstalled nvidia-drivers which eselected opengl back to xorg-x11 but i can not get twinview from the nv driver. i've red half of nvidia's readme, kinda liked it :) but it did not help. :( so i went back to google, and among tons of other things i've found this link: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-kernel@lists.debian.org/msg23039.html so i modified the kernel, and now i have my nvidia/twinview. why is IOMMU and AGPGART locked to Y in this 2.6.19-r2 x86_64? It isn't locked by us, it is locked by the kernel upstream. All you need to do is simply select the "Embedded" option (even without changing any of the other options) and you should be able to unselect IOMMU. true, if i set EMBEDDED, i can unset CONFIG_IOMMU, so i can unset CONFIG_AGP. veery weird. I had the same error message a couple of month ago. I investigated it and it turned out at last that my video card was over. So it was a hardware problem. Maybe you should try another Nvidia card. yeah, probably, but it works fine since that (2006-12-27 16:13), accelerated, glx-ed, twinview-ed. i don't see any irregularities about it. thanks OK. I'm calling this one FIXED, then. i was thinking on a warning at the end of the emerging process of the relevant nvidia or the gentoo-sources package: if you want to use the nvagp, you'll have to disable agpgart in the kernel, on amd64 that's done by selecting 'configure standard kernel features', than deselecting 'iommu support' than deselecting '/dev/agpgart'. or something similar |
