I can confirm this. Since I got a rather old nvidia card: shell> lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18GL [Quadro NVS 280 SD] (rev c1) and NVidia dropped support for that card from their drivers years ago, I'm stuck with that version of the driver. I'd switch to the opensource driver, but as far as I know it doesn't support a dual head setup. NVidia proposes the following solution: http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t93482.html This boils down to comment all references to "owner" in the file nv.c Exact versions: * x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.11 * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4 You could follow the workaround for nvidia-drivers, but if I were you I'd try out the nouveau driver since it is supposed to work pretty well with older Nvidia cards. The nouveau driver is available in sunrise overlay and in x11 overlay; the sunrise version uses a particular snapshot, and the x11 overlay ebuild "live" and builds from the very latest source code (so results could depend on whether the code is in good shape on the day you build it). Please try =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.13 instead. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 281302 *** Reinstalled system with nvidia-96.11.13, the error above disappeared. Everything works ok) |
