Any suggestions from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml? I just have to say that the 2 spaces between each word thing is *really* annoying. Usually, you don't want to do things to annoy the people who might fix your bug :P Please reformat the text so that it's actually readable, my eyes are bleeding. My apologies for the formatting, I have always double spaced in typing so I dont know what to say but I will type single space in continuing this, I am not sure that this is a bug with gentoos version of the nvidia driver, I am starting to believe this is more related to kde's implementation of power management to 8800 series cards, I have tried Xscreensaver and it is able to standby and power down the display normally, What I noticed is that I also need to use Option "UseEDID" "False" to get it to use my display properly ( of course, I have vert, hor and dpi specified in xorg.conf). Regardless of what I use in xorg, enabling kde power management from your configure your desktop just doesnt work, in addition screensavers show up in all different parts of the screen using kde so I am leaning towards thinking this is a bug that needs to be filed against kdesktop, and or kscreensaver. BTW, all is definitely installed correctly, guide and all, this is not my first nor my only gentoo desktop with nvidia cards but it is indeed my only one with an 8800 series card, I am not aware of any instructions specifis to the 8800 series in the nvidia guide For help and instructions please ask on #gentoo irc channel o gentoo-user mailing list. Bugs are not support thing. If you are sure this is a bug, please reopen with relevan info, including output of emerge --info. I'm not familiar with nvidia cards, so the only suggestion from my side is to read nvidia-guide on gentoo.org if you haven't done that yet. |
