after i updated xorg to version xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 i wasnt able to start gdm any more. My nvidia-kernel version was: 1.0.6629-r4 Fix: After i changed the driver from "nvidia" to "nv" in the xorg.conf i was able to start X. So i emerged the ~x86 version of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx (1.0.7667) and it works fine even with "nvidia" as driver. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 2./etc/init.d/xdm restart (with gdm as displaymanager) 3. Actual Results: lots of errormessages like this (all of them nvidia-symbols): " [...] Symbol xxx from module yyy is unresolved!

Try removing "dlloader" from your USE flags; per http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/hardenedxorg.xml?style=printable dlloader does not work with the binary Nvidia or ATI drivers. I had the same problem (referring to unresolved symbols in nvidia_drv.o) when I emerged xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 with dlloader turned on. Removing that flag allowed X to work normally. $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-gentoo-r11-20050716A x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r11-20050716A x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/pam.d /etc/sound/events /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl doc eds encode esd fam font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nvidia ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pam_chroot pam_console pam_timestamp pdflib perl png pwdb python qt quicktime readline ruby sdl spell ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales vorbis xine xml2 xmms xpm xprint xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
(In reply to comment #2) > Try removing "dlloader" from your USE flags; You were right, Mitch I removed the dlloader flag and emerged xorg and the stable nvidia-kernel again. Now its working fine thanks
Marking RESOLVED INVALID as this was a configuration issue.
